Véligo: Rental, Pricing, Conditions, and Benefits
Looking to adopt a more eco-friendly and affordable mode of transport? The Véligo Rental service offers long-term electric bike rentals throughout Île-de-France at a very accessible price. In 2025, this initiative continues to attract residents seeking a car-free alternative for their daily commute. Here’s everything you need to know about pricing, conditions, and options.
What is Véligo Location?
Launched in 2019 by Île-de-France Mobilités, Véligo Location is a public long-term electric-assist bicycle (e-bike) rental service. With over 20,000 bikes available, it’s now the largest long-term e-bike rental service in the world.
The concept is simple: you rent an e-bike for a period ranging from 1 to 9 months, with the option to extend by 3 additional months. You keep the bike at home during your rental, recharge it as needed, and use it at your own pace.
How much does Véligo cost in 2025?
The base price is €40 per month. This can be reduced to €20 if your employer covers 50% of the cost, similar to the Navigo Pass. Discounted rates are also available for students, apprentices, job seekers, or those receiving social assistance.
Optional accessories you can add:
- Helmet: €4/month
- Pannier bag: €2/month
- Child seat + helmet: €6/month
- Extra battery or charger
An optional damage and theft insurance is also available for added peace of mind.
What types of bikes are available?
The service now offers several models tailored to different rider profiles:
- Standard electric-assist bike (up to 70 km range)
- Cargo bike (two-wheel or three-wheel) for carrying children or heavy loads
- Adaptive bike for people with reduced mobility
All bikes come with a 250W motor, lock, front basket, and built-in lights. They’re durable, practical, and suited for urban and suburban travel.
Why choose Véligo in 2025?
With the rise of bike lanes and safe cycling infrastructure across Île-de-France, electric bikes are becoming an increasingly smart mobility choice.
Key advantages of Véligo:
- Very affordable compared to buying an e-bike (typically €1,500–€3,000)
- Easy access to a high-quality bike without long-term commitment
- Eco-friendly mobility alternative to driving
- Perfect for commuting, especially as a complement to train or RER travel
- 100% online service with home delivery option
Who can rent a Véligo bike?
The service is available to all Île-de-France residents aged 16 and up. Whether you live in Paris or the outer suburbs, Véligo is ideal for anyone looking to test or transition to electric mobility for the medium term.
Reservations are made directly online via the official website, with generally short delivery times.
In summary: Véligo, a smart alternative to driving in 2025
