REVIEW · THINGS TO DO IN PROTARAS
My Bike Eezz is an e-Bike Rentals hire shop in Protaras Cyprus
Protaras on an e-bike feels like cheating. You get an easy, townie-style pedal assist ride for about 9 hours, with the comfort of support when the road gets rough or the day gets hot.
What I like most is how solid these townie assist e-bikes are built for day-long riding, including Cyprus potholes, and how the owners, Joyce and Graham, help you figure out where to go. I also love that the rental includes the things that usually slow you down, helmet and locks, plus bottled water.
One thing to consider: you still want a moderate fitness level. The assist helps a lot, and it can reduce sweating, but you will still be pedaling and spending hours on your feet and saddle.

Key highlights before you book

- Long ride potential with strong battery life, so you can range farther along the coast
- Helmet, locks, and bottled water included, which makes the rental day feel frictionless
- Joyce and Graham’s route help, useful if your map reading is rusty

Townie e-bikes that make Protaras feel easier

If you want a coastal day that does not turn into a sweat festival, this kind of e-bike rental makes a lot of sense. The bikes are townie assist electric push bikes, designed to handle a practical goal: get you cruising comfortably for hours, even when the roads are not perfectly smooth.
The big value here is reliability. The shop describes these bikes as built solid enough to withstand potholes, and that matters in coastal areas where road surfaces can vary. When your bike feels stable and forgiving, you spend less energy fighting the ride and more energy enjoying the view and the stop-and-go moments along the way.
You also get the health and feel-good angle without forcing a full workout. The e-bike assist can help you keep moving while still getting some fitness benefits on holiday. The aim is not to make you sit there on a chair, it is to make pedaling less punishing, so you arrive at viewpoints with less exhaustion. And yes, the environmental side is a real plus too. You are covering ground with less impact than a car, and you can go farther than you would on a standard bike.

Where you start in Pernera, and how pickup works
Your start point is the rental shop area in Pernera, with the meeting location listed as Sacoche22JQ+58R, Pernera 5296, Cyprus. If you do not want to deal with buses or taxis, you have an easy option: the shop offers delivery and pickup from your hotel, villa, or home within a 5 km radius of the rental shop.
That small detail is worth more than it sounds. It removes the usual friction of day rentals. You can plan a relaxed morning, get the bike brought to you, and then hand it back at the end without coordinating transport back to the shop.
If pickup is not convenient, you can pick up directly at the e-bike rental shop in Pernera. The operation runs daily, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, from April through late November (the stated season runs 04/15/2024 to 11/25/2026). Confirmation comes within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability, so you do not need to guess too long.
It also helps that the start location is described as near public transportation. So even if you are not using pickup, you are not stuck in a far-off corner.
Price and value: what $36.04 gets you for a long day

The price is $36.04 per person for about 9 hours. For a full-day rental, the real question is not just the number, it is what reduces your hassle and lets you ride more comfortably.
Here is what is included:
- e-bike rental with helmet and locks
- all fees and taxes
- bottled water
And what is not included:
- private transportation
That bundle is practical. Helmets and locks are the two items that can easily turn into extra cost or extra searching. By including them, you can focus on the ride instead of budgeting for basic necessities. Bottled water is also a small inclusion that feels smart on a long, warm day.
If you break it down, you are paying for a large block of time, not a short, rushed outing. When you have 9 hours, you can actually pace yourself, take breaks, and enjoy the coast without feeling like every stop is a sprint back to the bike.
Also, the shop is described as having an average booking window of about 13 days in advance. That is a sign it is popular enough that you should not wait until the last minute, especially if you are traveling in peak periods.
What your day feels like on the road

This is a private tour or activity, so it is just your group. That means you can ride at a pace that fits your energy level, and you are not stuck with a group that wants to sprint ahead.
After pickup or shop collection, expect the day to go like this:
- Get the e-bike and gear set up, including helmet and lock.
- Start your coast-focused exploration.
- Ride, pause, and re-position as you choose.
- Return the bike back to the same meeting point.
Even without a detailed stop list, the ride experience itself is well defined. One review notes a paved bike trail with two lanes and about ten miles ridden, with the e-bike working well. That tells you the routes you are likely to enjoy are not all rough road and pothole dodge. You should be able to spend most of your time riding, not constantly negotiating surfaces.
Another review also highlights that the owners are hands-on, sharing where to go. If your map reading is not your strongest skill, that kind of advice can make the day feel smoother fast. You can spend less time trying to decode where you are and more time actually out there moving.
The coastline plan: easy cruising with assist support

The shop’s promise is straightforward: explore the beautiful coastline with an e-bike, with a ride that stays hassle-free even when weather gets intense. Translation: the assist power helps you keep steady, and the bike design helps you stay comfortable even if roads are not perfect.
You are not just “going somewhere,” you are doing the most enjoyable part of a coastal day, riding between viewpoints and stopping when the mood hits. A big part of why e-bikes are so popular on holiday is that they turn distance into something manageable. Instead of planning around fatigue, you plan around what you want to see.
You will also likely appreciate how this style of bike fits an all-day plan. Townie bikes tend to be more upright and comfortable than performance road bikes, which matters when you are sitting for hours and taking breaks instead of doing one intense loop.
If you want to keep the day comfortable, ask Joyce and Graham for a route that suits your pace. In the reviews, they are specifically praised for being helpful about where to go, which is exactly what you need if you want the best use of your time without overthinking it.
Same coast, a different sort of afternoon:
Using assist for hills: you still pedal, just smarter
One of the most practical features in the description is that these e-bikes can climb hills at ease. That is not just a power brag. It changes what kind of trip you can take.
In real life, coastal areas can have small climbs that feel fine in a car, but become annoying on a regular bike. The assist gives you a cushion. You can keep your cadence up and avoid the kind of grinding effort that makes people stop early.
At the same time, this is still a ride day. The description says travelers should have moderate physical fitness. So you are not fully getting a motor scooter experience. You are using electric help to make pedaling easier, which also lines up with the promise that e-bikes can improve overall health and reducing sweating.
My practical take: treat the assist as your “keep moving” tool, not as a constant crutch. If you keep some effort in your legs, the ride feels more natural, and you are less likely to get tired later. If the route includes a hill you would normally avoid, the assist lets you include it without paying a painful price.
Battery life: plan a longer day without constant anxiety

The shop mentions exceptional battery life. While the exact range is not provided in your details, the key benefit is the confidence it gives. For a 9-hour rental, you need to feel like your day is not going to end early because the battery is low.
What you can do to make battery last, using only smart common sense:
- Start with the bike charged and ready when you leave the shop or after pickup.
- Use assist when you need it, especially for climbs and when you are tired.
- Take breaks instead of pushing hard for long stretches.
Also, bottled water is included, which helps you stay hydrated. Hydration does not directly charge the battery, but it affects how hard you push and how fatigued you feel. If you feel good, you make better riding choices, and you are less likely to burn through power with unnecessary bursts.
Helmet and locks: small gear, big stress reduction

The included helmet and locks are a big deal for a rental day. A helmet is obvious, but the lock inclusion is the quiet hero. Without a lock, you have to either keep the bike with you, which is awkward, or worry about what you can safely secure.
With a lock included, you can stop for a break, grab a drink, or take in a stretch of coastline without feeling like you need to rush back to the bike the second you step away.
Joyce and Graham are praised for running the shop with care and keeping bikes in very good condition. That matters because included gear only helps if the bike is ready to ride and the lock is actually usable. The reviews highlight that the bikes were in working order, and that is the baseline you want before you commit a full 9 hours.
Getting route help from Joyce and Graham
One review called out Joyce and Graham by name and described them as a lovely couple who give great electric bikes at a very good price. It also specifically mentions Joyce letting people know where is best to go on the bikes, and being willing to answer questions.
That is exactly the kind of service that turns a rental into a better day. You do not want to waste time guessing routes or second-guessing turns. If you share how energetic you feel and what you want to see, you can get a path that makes sense for your pace.
If map reading is tricky for you, plan to lean on that advice. One rider noted they managed to see a lot even with imperfect map reading, and that is a strong sign the route suggestions help people orient quickly.
My practical suggestion: ask for two route options. One for when you feel great, another for when you want to take it easy. With a 9-hour window, that simple plan keeps the day flexible.
Who should rent this e-bike in Protaras
This experience fits best if you want a coast-focused day that is active but not punishing. The description calls for moderate physical fitness, which suggests it is not for zero-effort riding, but it is also not aimed at athletes who want a hardcore workout.
It also makes sense for:
- couples and small groups who want an easy shared plan
- people who want to see more than they can on foot
- riders who prefer comfort and stability over a sporty racing feel
- travelers who would rather avoid complicated transport and just get the bike sorted
It is described as private for your group, so you are not negotiating pace with strangers.
If you are the type who enjoys long, scenic rides and likes taking breaks when you want, this is a solid match. If you are expecting a guided tour with named historical stops, the details you have focus more on the rental ride than on a step-by-step guided itinerary.
Should you book My Bike Eezz for a 9-hour e-bike day?
I would book this if you want a practical, low-stress way to explore Protaras by bike, with the comfort of electric assist. The value is strongest when you care about the included basics, helmet, locks, and water, and when you like the idea of getting route help from Joyce and Graham instead of spending your day lost on maps.
I would hesitate if you dislike riding for hours on a bike seat, or if moderate physical fitness is not really your style. Also, check whether pickup within the 5 km radius works for your exact lodging. If it does not, you can still pick up in Pernera, but you will want to plan how you get there.
