Motorcycle rental in France in 2025: a fast-growing market
Renting a motorcycle has never been easier.
With platforms such as Good Motors, Easy Renter and Riderly, it's now possible to book a motorcycle online, 24/7, in over 10 major French cities: Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Nice, Montpellier, Biarritz, Avignon and Aix-en-Provence.
Bikers, tourists and even pros find a flexible solution for :
- go on a weekend or road trip,
- temporarily replace their motorcycle,
- test a model before buying,
- or simply move around freely without restraint.
But one question remains: is renting electric really suitable for France?
The advantages of renting an electric motorcycle
🔋 Ecological and silent
Zero emissions, zero noise: electric vehicles are making their mark in major cities, where low-emission zones (ZFEs) are increasingly restricting the use of combustion engine vehicles.
💶 Less maintenance, more savings
No oil changes, no filters, no fuel: in the long term, the cost of ownership is much lower.
🏙️ Ideal for urban commuting
Electric motorcycles are perfect for getting around Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux or Nice - maneuverable, fast and emission-free.
Limits to be aware of before renting an electric motorcycle
⚡ Still limited autonomy
Even in 2025, few models will exceed 160 km. For long-distance journeys, this is still not enough.
🔌 Slow charging and uneven terminals
France is making progress, but not all charging stations are suitable for motorcycles. A full charge often takes 2-3 hours.
💸 Rental costs still high
The average price in France for an electric motorcycle is between €120 and €180/day, compared with €65 to €110 for a combustion motorcycle at Good Motors.
Electric models available in France in 2025
To sum up: electric bikes do exist, but they're still a minority on the French motorcycle rental market.
