Voi
Since August of 2025, it is possible to rent an e-bike for an excellent price of about £1.50 for the first hour and then £1 an hour after that.
Key Details for Using Voi Bikes in Edinburgh:
- How to Rent: Download the Voi app, create an account, and locate a bike on the map.
- Cost: Approximately £0.49 to unlock and £0.11 per minute, with options for pass bundles.
- Operational Area: Primarily in the city center (including, but not limited to, the Meadows, Canon Mills, and Haymarket).
- Parking: Bikes must be parked in designated zones within the app’s operational area.

The service was launched in August 2025 to provide a modern, eco-friendly transport option following the closure of previous bike schemes.

Zoomo
Seems too good to be true but £40 for a week (and you can hand the bike back when you wish, so after a day or two – we can also offer you secure overnight storage). If you use this one, please tell us how it went.
