From 1 month, for as long as you want.
Fribourg is built on the cliffs above the Sarine. Between the Lower Town (Auge, Neuveville) and the centre, the slope is so steep that the city has had a funicular since 1899, climbing more than 56 metres. On a regular bike, these climbs quickly wear you down. With the Torks e-bike’s assistance up to 25 km/h and its 5 modes, they become just another ride.
Renting rather than buying also means avoiding a big investment: renting an e-bike in Fribourg with Torks starts from CHF 79 per month, with no upfront costs and nothing to resell. Servicing, routine repairs and theft insurance are already included.

« A really practical, well-organised service. The bike is very practical and of very high quality. The subscription and bike details are available online, and the Torks team is very kind and available on WhatsApp. Highly recommended! »
« A big thank you to Torks and to Timothée! Communication is super smooth and the after-sales service is incredible. The bike, made for paved paths, is easy to use and comfortable. What a joy to have made my trips by bike rather than by car this month. I recommend it 100%! »
