The Bikes

E-Fat Bikes: 3 x S/M, 5 large and 1 XL available — 'S-Electros' from Silverback and S/M and M/L 'Avalanche' bikes from Rock Machine. Our E-fats are stored downtown in a heated store in winter, so there is a supplemental €20 charge to the winter hire prices to cover issuing and returning them.

Adult Fat Bikes: 3 small, 3 medium and 4 large — 'Charge' Cooker Maxi 2s, Nakamura Mammut, 'Salsa' Mukluk and 'Felt' DD30s.

Children's Fat Bikes: 2 (suitable c.8–12 yrs), both Scoop Half bikes from Silverback, plus one small children's mountain bike for a 6–9 year old.

Fat Max Scooters: kick-bikes with fat tyres, most commonly used for fat-max-joring with the dogs but also rentable for kicking around locally.

Where to Go

We are happy to advise on suitable trails. Some favourites are hard to explain, so for a quick tester ride — or a guide along in case of mechanical issues — see our guided route options. We much prefer people to ride to and from our site, just 4km from the centre of town, rather than transferring the bikes, as most damage we have seen comes from inadequate transfer care. In winter you can bike on maintained trails right from our yard. We use apps such as rewindr, jahtikartta and karttaselain, and local bike trail maps can be found on 'ULKO'.

Insurance, Liability & Replacement Values (from the Price List)

You can purchase peace-of-mind liability-reduction insurance at €10/day (bike), which means you are not responsible for the first €100 in repair costs — this covers the majority of issues. A full-package damage waiver against any item rented is €25/day. Emergency Roadhead Extraction Insurance is €10/day, and a bundled Damage Waiver + Extraction package is €25/day (first €250 liability + roadside recovery). For 2-day+ rentals we may require a damage deposit (credit-card charge plus a photo ID).

Example extraction transfer costs: Pallas (180km round trip) €120; Näkkälä (80km) €55; Kalmakaltio (124km) €92; Ketomella/Hietajärvi (98km) €75.

Example replacement values: Rock Machine Avalanche E-fat €3899; Silverback S-Electro E-fat €2250; 500Wh battery €680; charger €125; display €150; Silverback Scoop Half fatbike €750; Charge/Felt/Nakamura fatbikes €1800; inner tube €15; broken chain €30; adjustable helmet €100.

Rental Terms & Conditions

Rental prices are charged in advance; insurance fees can be paid at pick-up. You need to present ID and provide contact details. Use of equipment is at the renter's own risk, and bikes must be returned in the same good condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted). Each bike is professionally checked and fit before your arrival and wiped with alcohol solution before and after use; please check it and ride a test circuit in the yard on receipt. We cover failures beyond the renter's control (e.g. damaged frames, worn bottom brackets) but not tune-ups, punctures, broken spokes/chains/derailleurs or damage from use or misuse. Instruction in bicycle use and maintenance is not provided — participants must be competent with a multi-speed bicycle.
