You push away from a quiet side street and the city opens: a ribbon of canal, stone bridges, the low roofs of machiya sliding by as the Tern Vektron hums under you. The Bosch motor gives an immediate, steady assist, letting you climb the hill to Kiyomizu Temple without breaking a sweat and still have battery to circle the river.
easy.
Up to 48 hours.
Appropriate for most fitness levels; basic cycling ability and balance recommended
Range is roughly 60 km under moderate assist and mixed terrain; heavy loads, steep climbs or high assist settings reduce range—consider a spare charger for longer outings.
You’ll need to provide full name, age band and height at booking; a government ID is usually required at pickup—no motorcycle license needed for electric-assist bicycles.
Helmets are provided or mandatory depending on operator policy; specialized infant seats are available on request—reserve ahead for availability.
The operator cancels poor-weather bookings per the policy; if conditions change while you’re out, return to the shop early and follow staff instructions.
Kyoto served as Japan’s imperial capital for over a millennium and much of its street layout and temple architecture reflect Heian- and Edo-period urbanism, making cycling an efficient way to move between eras.
Stick to paved roads and marked parking areas, avoid leaving chargers or batteries unattended, and follow local waste-sorting rules for any disposable battery packs.
