Photos are the first thing that a potential rider sees. Bikes with better photos reach more riders and receive more bookings - so take some time to make them shine! Draw the rider’s attention, highlight what’s amazing, and set the right expectation. In this guide we will give you some tips on improving your bike rental photography by using light, setting the scene, using perspectives and knowing what to show!
Write a clear description
Write a clear description
It is important to write a helpful description of your bike, so the rider knows exactly what to expect when they rent your bike. Try to be concise and to the point, whilst also ensuring that all essential information is included. Start with some attention-grabbing sentences describing the bike model and brand. Then mention some details of parts and specs of the bike. Check out this listing we created as an example for your description and photography.
Set the price
Set the price
Setting the rental price of your bikes is completely up to you. To determine an appropriate price, you could compare your bike to similar models or bikes nearby your location already on ListNRide. Take into consideration the value of your bike and be realistic when setting prices - overpricing will prevent people from booking your bike and underpricing can look suspicious. Now you are ready to rent your bike out!

Tips for a hassle-free ride

tips_image_1

Be respectful

Remember that you are renting your bike to a cycling buddy, so try to be kind and patient when talking with them. If you are kind to them, they will treat your bike as carefully as if it were their own. It goes without saying that you should treat anyone with respect.

Be flexible

It doesn’t take long to send a quick message! Help people who are interested in your bike(s) by answering their questions or offering advice. Sharing personal cycling or food tips from the area where you live is always a nice gesture. This may help you to get better reviews too!

Be genuine

It can be daunting speaking to someone behind a screen. Adding your real name and a profile picture to your account will make you appear more trustworthy and approachable. Be honest about everything regarding the bike to gain people’s trust.
