Fresh out of the stand. Taking the newest addition to our hire fleet out for a spin to make sure it’s 100% ready for you. 🚲
It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.
A new addition to our hire fleet. A mid-powered e-bike enduro machine for the descents and climbs like a goat due to the TQ60 motor. First ride and thoughts.

Our goal has always been simple: to provide reliable, good-quality bikes and straightforward, helpful service so you can enjoy the stunning scenery around us. Whether you are renting a Trek e-bike for a relaxed loop around Ladybower Reservoir

According to our recent visitors, it’s the little things that seem to help the most—like taking a few extra minutes to help map out a route or adjusting a bike’s setup so it feels just right.

A few of our favourite reviews from the last 12 months
Best bike ride ever
May 2026 • FriendsCelebrating my brother’s birthday and he said it was his best bike ride ever.
Great bikes, fab route and lovely 3 hour day out
Thanks James and the team
Probably the best bike hire and shop in the UK
Apr 2026 • Friends
We’ve used the Bike Garage for hire, advice and local knowledge 3 times now on our annual mountain biking trips.
James and the team offer an unmatched service. The bikes are maintained to an impeccable standard and James and team always go the extra mile to make our biking holiday absolutely perfect, always only too pleased to offer help and advice.
If you’re heading to the peaks, then look no further!
Thanks again James!
We’ll definitely see you next time!
Glorious Ebiking day in the Peaks
Apr 2026
I hired Ebikes for myself and 20 year old granddaughter from the Bike Garage for a whole day. The bikes were waiting for us already set up ready to go. As my granddaughter was a novice rider James took considerable time explaining the workings of the bike and giving sound advice. He offered a route that he felt was best for our level of experience. The day cycling around the reservoirs was sensational!! The GPS was such a great assistance. The Bike Garage is a fantastic professional set up. I cannot recommend it highly enough and cannot wait to go back again. Next time we hope to take on a more challenging route guided again by James’ sound advice.
Excellent Rental, Service and information

Flawless Experience at Bike Garage!
I can’t recommend Bike Garage enough.
If you’re looking for a hassle-free day on the trails, this is the place to go.
The Bike
I rented a full-suspension Trek mountain bike, and it was absolutely flawless. The equipment is top-tier and clearly well-maintained, which made a huge difference in the quality of the ride.
The Service
The team here provides excellent service. Everyone was super friendly and genuinely helpful, making sure we had everything we needed before heading out.
Why Choose Them?
Location: They have fantastic trails right from the door that cater to all skill levels and fitness points.
Resources: The detailed trail information and GPX files available on their website are brilliant. It was actually the quality of this info that made us decide to hire from them in the first place.
Convenience: Having a big car park on-site makes the logistics of bike hire incredibly easy.
I will definitely be back. If you’re in the area and want a great day on two wheels, look no further!
Why should you choose a Bike Garage Ex-Rental? Unlike many second-hand bikes, our offerings come with a “clean bill of health.” We fully service each bike to ensure it is ready to ride:
The Lineup: We currently have Trek Marlins 8 available in size below.
Each bike is prepared to order. If you’re looking for a setup that’s less aggressive for commuting or a specific configuration for bikepacking (these frames have excellent rack mounts!), just let us know, and we can adjust the specifications for you.
We love these bikes, and each one has been meticulously cleaned and checked after every hire. We sell them after just one season to keep our rental fleet stocked with the latest models, meaning you get a modern, well-maintained bike at a fraction of the retail price.
Send us an email to arrange a visit, or give me a call on 01433 659345
You are welcome to sit on one to size it up or even take it for a quick test ride to ensure it’s the right fit for you.
We are excited to announce that we have been recognised as a 2025 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Winner! That’s five years in a row!
This award is especially meaningful to us because it is based entirely on your reviews and ratings—our valued guests. Your kind words, honest feedback, and continued support have helped us rank among the top-rated destinations in the world, and we are truly grateful.
The Travellers’ Choice Award honours businesses that consistently provide exceptional experiences for travellers globally. Being selected for this award means we are in the top 10% of listings on TripAdvisor, which is an incredible achievement for us.
Whether you have visited us once or return year after year, thank you for being a part of our journey. This award also belongs to all of you.
We can’t wait to welcome you back soon—whether you are visiting us for the first time or returning for another unforgettable experience. Here’s to creating more memories together in 2025 and beyond!
Thanks
Bike Garage
This is the third time we have hired eMTB’s from Bike Garage. Booking the bikes online is simple and easy to do. The bikes are always outside ready and waiting to go upon arrival. James takes great care to make final adjustments to suit rider size, height etc…
James is obviously very knowledgeable on all the local routes and has a map with them all on. So we didn’t get lost, we hired a Wahoo bike computer with all the routes preloaded. So all you have to do is follow the arrow on screen. Simple!
The bikes are all brilliant and in perfect working order. We will be back for our fourth trip soon!
We have Trek Marlin 8 available in a size Large, as seen in the video below.
And Trek X-Caliber 7 (pictured) available in size Medium & Medium Large.
Each bike is prepared for sale once we have a potential buyer this means we can tweak the specification to meet your requirements. As standard we replace the tyres like for like with the upgraded Hutchinson or Goodyear rubber. But could if something less aggressive or commuter friendly.
Worth noting the bikes have rack mounts so could be used as a excellent bike packing frame. Something we have done before.
The bikes are maintained through the year we have them, getting a wash between every use and a check over. So we really do not need to sell them only after one season but we do this so we have the newest models available.
As each bike is prepaired to order, simply give me a call or come by the shop. If you have any questions regarding sizing then let us know if you want to come to down and sit on a bike for size then that isn’t a problem. Or if you like even take it on a test ride
Feel free to call us on 01433 659345 or message us if you have any questions.
Happy to advise but please use the below chart as a guide.
Featuring a full Carbon frame and handlebars with the biggest battery and height end components. This bike is geared towards advanced riders.
The largest Battery
The Trek Rail 9.8 is a long-travel carbon e-MTB that rips like our beefiest trail rigs and powers you right back up the mountain.
– Bosch’s latest tech with the new smart system
– Longer-range 750 Wh battery
– Kiox 300 Display
A lightweight ebike for those wanting a little bit of support on the hills, but equally it handles like a regular trail bike due to its lightweight nature. We ride this bike most regularly from the shop.
A great bike to explore such as around Ladybower or Stanage Edge. It is our best-value ebike hire option. But it will have less support and range than the Rail.
A great bike for exploring
