Own bike or Velociped tourer? The decision is up to you. If you have a good bike of your own: perfect. Otherwise, we recommend you our tour-approved Velociped bikes. We put them at your disposal at the starting point of your tour and collect them at destination. The Velociped tourer is conceived specially for cycling tours. It offers maximum running comfort and highest possible safety, and already had proven excellent performance over thousands of kilometres.
The Velociped tourer. Many arguments for choosing it.
If you book a Velociped touring bike, we will provide you with a freshly serviced bike that is exactly the right size for you at the starting point of your trip and pick it up again at your destination after the tour. To help you get to know our bikes, we have compiled the most important bike facts for you here.
The basic equipment:
Particularly shockproff 28” wheels, special front-whell hubs for maximum smooth-running quality, simple 7-speed hub with back-pedal brake, or 27-speed dérailleur, always two handbrakes for front and back wheel, comfortable gel-saddle, all-around chain guard and a waterproof, spacious luggage bag.
The right sitting position:
Without using any tool, the saddle can be moved to the right position. Thanks to a special device for the adjustment of the angle of declination, the handlebars allow every sitting position – whether in a sportively hunched-up stance or in an upright position easy on one's back.
The right frame:
We offer men's bikes with different frame heights suitable for sizes of 160 to 200 cm. Velociped ladies'bikes whip all persons with a size from 150 cm and up into shape. The practical step-through frame makes getting on and off easier, and is now also becoming an increasingly popular option with men. Our juvenile bikes are suitable for heights of 120 to 145 cm.

Velociped-E-Bike
E-Bike with back pedal brake
E-bikes combine a lot of advantages. The electric drive ensures relaxed cycling, even on long stages or hilly routes. Other features, such as a suspension seat post and front fork as well as well-coordinated gears, ensure additional riding comfort.
E-bikes with coaster brakes are available for all Velociped original tours.

On tour with children
Children's and youth bike
On our juvenile bikes the fun factor is built right in: the robust structure with gel seat, sturdy aluminium frame and straight tourer handlebars with easy-to-use, modern 24-speed dérailleur gear shift even allows young cycling enthusiasts to go “off piste” onto uneven ground. The Velociped juvenile bike is suitable for ages 9 to 14 and heights 120 to 145 cm.
Child transporter
The child transporter allows you to strap 1 to 2 children in safely with plenty of space to sit comfortably, play or even sleep during the journey and a roof over their heads. The child transporter also offers plenty of benefits for the adults, being easily manoeuvrable, laterally stable and easy to attach to any bike or e-bike in a few simple steps.
Booster seat
Taking even the youngest children on tour isn’t a problem with a booster seat: the Römer Jockey Comfort used at Velociped meets the highest requirements – both in terms of safety and in terms of correct sitting posture for children between 9 months and 4 years of age. We selected this booster seat for our hire service because it can be easily and fully adjusted to the right size, from the head rest to the foot supports, offers a large spoke guard and allows children to be carried securely and comfortably.
Funtrailer for kids
For children aged approx. 3 to 8, a funtrailer can be a good alternative to their own bike – particularly on slightly longer routes. With the funtrailer children can actually work the pedals, even if the main propulsion is still provided by the adult. The seat posts and handlebars can be adjusted for different heights (100–135 cm) and the 6-speed gear shift allows children to set the optimum pedal stroke themselves.

In case it breaks down during the tour, we will of course see to help you.
