Don’t Let These Bike Rental Myths Stop You From Riding

Renting a bike in places like Siliguri, Darjeeling, or Kalimpong is one of the best ways to explore North Bengal. But despite the growing popularity of bike rentals, there are still many myths and misconceptions that hold people back.

At Bike Wale Bhaiya, we hear them all the time. So today, let’s bust the top myths about bike rentals and help you see why it’s affordable, safe, and smart to rent a two-wheeler for your next trip.

 

Myth #1: Renting a Bike is More Expensive than Taking a Cab

Truth: Renting a bike is way cheaper than hiring a taxi for even one full day.

At Bike Wale Bhaiya, hourly and daily rentals are budget-friendly. You also get offers like:

  • ₹100 cashback for students
  • 1 day FREE on weekly booking
  • 40% OFF on birthdays
  • Free accessories for women
  • 20% OFF for age 45+

Check all offers

You pay only for fuel and ride as much as you want — unlike cabs that charge for distance, wait-time, and return.

 

Myth #2: You Need to Rent for Minimum 3 Days

Truth: Not with us!

Bike Wale Bhaiya offers rentals even for 1 hour. Whether you're running errands, doing a photo shoot, or taking a short ride to Mirik — you’re covered.

We believe in full flexibility, not long-term lock-ins.

In Siliguri, many office-goers, college students, and residents use our bikes and scooties for:
