Renting a bike in Dubai splits into four tiers. Careem BIKE is the city-wide share system: about 200 docking stations and 1,750 pedal-assist bikes, from AED 1-unlock pay-as-you-go, AED 19 for a single trip, AED 29 for a day or AED 99 monthly (official careem.com pricing, 45-minute ride cap). Track fleets rent where you ride: Al Qudra from AED 80 for two hours with a free helmet (Trek), Nad Al Sheba from about AED 50, Mushrif Park MTBs from about AED 60/hour. For serious road bikes, Wolfi's and Revolution Cycles both rent carbon machines at AED 200 per day. And beach cruisers at JBR start at AED 20 per half hour.
Bike share: Careem BIKE
For city riding, Careem BIKE is the only game in town and it's a good one: roughly 200 dock stations and 1,750 pedal-assist bikes concentrated exactly where the riding is: Marina and JLT, JBR, Downtown, Business Bay and the Jumeirah coastal strip. Official pricing (careem.com, VAT inclusive): pay-as-you-go with an AED 1 unlock, a single trip at AED 19 with 45 free minutes, a 24-hour pass at AED 29, a week at AED 59, or AED 99 monthly with 60 unlocks. Every ride carries a 45-minute cap before overage (about AED 10 per extra half hour). Dock-hop on longer rides to reset the clock. Beware stale numbers elsewhere: many guides still quote the old AED 20/50/75 structure that pre-dates the March 2025 pricing. Careem Plus subscribers get 30% off the day pass.
Track rentals: rent where you ride
Every major track keeps a fleet at the trailhead, so the bike is never the obstacle. At Al Qudra, the Trek Bicycle Store rents road, hybrid and electric bikes from AED 80 for two hours, with a helmet free of charge (pickups from 05:30, bookable at trekbikesuae.com). Its rate card runs from AED 80 for two hours on a hybrid or aluminium road bike to AED 200 on a carbon Madone, and the same bikes cost AED 160 to AED 400 for six hours, which is where the rate per hour drops sharply. Day hire starts at AED 240. Prices do not change between summer and peak season. Alongside it sit Hello Bike (from AED 99, at the Stick car park) and BikePark (about AED 75–100 for four hours, early hours) as alternatives. Nad Al Sheba rents from about AED 50 at the entrance to its free, floodlit 4/6/8 km loops, the easiest first ride in Dubai. For mountain bikes, EDGE Cycling inside Mushrif Park rents proper hardtails and full-suspension bikes from about AED 60/hour for the 50 km trail network, and in season Hatta Wadi Hub rents MTBs around AED 65/hour at the mountain trailhead.
Trek at Al Qudra: the full rate card
Captured from Trek's own booking system on 12 August 2026. Identical prices quoted for a summer date and a peak-season December weekend.
Trek publishes a price for every bike at every duration, so you can work out the exact cost before you drive out. Two things are worth knowing before you read the table. Two and three hours bill at a flat hourly rate, so the third hour costs the same as the first; the discount only arrives at six hours, which is priced at exactly double the two-hour rate, meaning you pay for four hours and ride six. And the day rates stop following the hourly logic entirely: on the hybrids a second day costs only AED 80 more than the first, so if you are hesitating between one day and two, take two.

Road bikes, beach cruisers & everything else
Visiting roadies have a settled benchmark: AED 200 per day for a carbon road bike, published by both Wolfi's (Sheikh Zayed Road institution, sizes 49–58 cm, MTBs from AED 250) and Revolution Cycles (Shimano 105 / Campagnolo builds, branches serving Business Bay, Motor City and Marina). The Cycle Hub in Motor City rents road, mountain and gravel bikes including long-term arrangements, with prices on request. At the leisure end, BYKY's stands at JBR and along Jumeirah rent cruisers from AED 20 per half hour (doubles AED 55, four-seat family Bergs AED 70), and BikePark's Kite Beach point runs afternoons at about AED 75 for four hours. Two footnotes: Dubai Ride (1 November 2026) historically offers free bikes for the event, see our events page, and the e-scooter share fleets (Lime, Tier, Arnab) cover a 390 km RTA-approved network if your group mixes wheels.
