Where can I rent a bicycle or scooter to explore Palma and nearby towns?

Planning to get around Palma and the surrounding towns by bike or scooter? Rental options are plentiful, especially near the city center and the train stations, including in Soller and Alcudia. You’ll find everything from classic bicycles to electric bikes and scooters, ideal for weaving through Palma’s narrow streets or cruising along the Ma-19 towards beach spots like Cala Mayor. Electric models give a handy boost on some of the hillier stretches, like the ascent from Palma to Valldemossa along the Tramuntana foothills.

Several rental shops also operate near popular beaches such as Es Trenc and Cala Mondrago, making it easy to combine cycling with some beach time. The TIB bus network integrates bike racks too, allowing you to cover longer distances and explore quieter coastal villages such as Pollenca or Deia. Shared bike schemes exist in Palma itself, letting you pick up and drop off bikes using a mobile app at convenient locations.

Local regulations encourage helmet use, though it’s not legally mandatory, and you’ll want to watch for some busy streets if you're unfamiliar with the area. Suitably equipped rentals typically provide helmets and locks, a must-have for stopping off in Palma’s atmospheric markets or sampling a snack of pa amb oli at a café. Whether you’re following the Ma-10 through Tramuntana or just enjoying the palm-lined seafronts, two wheels open up a world of discovery beyond the usual bus routes.
