RentshelfTake e-bike bookings by the hour or the day on your Shopify store. Riders choose a slot, add a helmet or spare battery and accept your terms; staff check bikes out and back in with Shopify POS.
Visitors want a two-hour ride or a half day, locals want a whole day. Selling only daily hire leaves bikes idle for most of the afternoon.
A bike that comes back with a flat battery at 2 pm cannot go straight out at 2 pm. The gap between rides is part of the booking, not an afterthought.
Powered bikes are expensive and riders vary. You want the terms acknowledged before payment and a signed agreement before the bike leaves the shop.
Each answer below uses a feature that exists in Rentshelf today. The label shows which plans include it.
Rent by hours with packages such as 1 hour, 2 hours or a half day on every plan. Turn on appointment time slots to sell start times within your opening hours, with buffers before and after each ride for charging and checks.
Add a helmet as a required add-on and a spare battery, lock or child seat as optional extras priced per booking or per unit. Add a security deposit for damage on any plan.
On Growth, riders acknowledge your terms before adding to cart and sign a rental agreement through their private booking link. From Starter, the Shopify POS tile lists today's pickups and returns so staff can check bikes out and mark them returned.
This product shows an e-bike with a required helmet add-on, a per-day child seat and shop pickup or local drop-off.
The demo bike is set up with day packages. Hourly packages and timed slots use the same product editor with the duration set to Rent by hours.
Paid plans include a 7-day free trial and are billed through Shopify.

Yes. Set the duration to Rent by hours and offer packages such as 1 hour, 2 hours or a half day. Hourly modes are available on every plan.
With appointment time slots, set a buffer after each ride so the next slot starts later. For multi-day hires, buffer days after the return are available on Starter and Growth. Rentshelf does not read battery levels; the buffer is a fixed gap you choose.
On Growth, rental agreements let riders acknowledge your terms before adding to cart and sign with a typed name through their private booking link. Rentshelf does not supply legal wording or verify identity, so use terms that fit your business and location.
On Starter and Growth, add the Rentshelf tile to Shopify POS. Staff see today's pickups, returns and overdue rentals, tap Check out to customer at collection and Mark returned when the bike comes back.
In appointment mode the product quantity is the number of simultaneous bookings, so a fleet of eight identical bikes can take up to eight riders per slot. Appointment mode uses product-level stock rather than separate stock per size variant.
The ski and bike page covers multi-day, size-based gear hire with seasonal pricing. This page is for e-bikes sold by the hour or day, where charging gaps, add-ons and signed terms drive the setup.
Compare the rental duration options: date ranges, fixed packages, hourly, then add an insurance add-on if riders can pay to reduce their damage liability.
