    Evertyhing went fine! The rental process was easy, fast and the service extraordinarily kind. The Phoneholder and helmet was inklusive. Great job!
    The Electric Mountainbike i got had a good quality, the battery endurance was fine as well. I rode about 60km and had 1% left at the shop back again.
    If i had used the electric power more on point (just level 2 or 3 in the very steep sections) i could have stretched it to 80km i guess.

    Excellent shop, they got me tires for my wheelchair after the orthopedic supply stores couldn't or, in some cases, wouldn't help me. Thank you, now I'm mobile again, and at a fair price.

    We rented 2 road bikes from Avalanche bikes for a week in September 25. The bikes were great and Rui was extremely helpful delivering them to our accommodation. He also gave us routes to ride each day using google maps.
    Excellent service

    Fantastic service, would recommend to any cyclist! Dropped off and collected bike for free and on time. Bike was a Bianchi Sprint, very well maintained and in excellent condition. Prices were also reasonable and although I didn't need any extras the guys were happy to provide a helmet / etc. Cheers
