Space-saving storage: Folding bikes on board

Sailboats offer limited storage space. Therefore, every additional piece of luggage must be carefully considered. A folding bike is unbeatable here because it:

• It can be folded compactly and stored in the cabin, below deck or even in a lazarette .

• It is easy to transport , so you can simply lift it onto the deck when needed,

• and can be opened and closed in seconds.

Especially compared to conventional bicycles, you save a huge amount of space and avoid cumbersome handling.

Mobility in the port: Freedom on two wheels

Once docked, you won't want to rely on taxis or public transport. With a folding bike, every port becomes the starting point for spontaneous explorations.

• Shopping at markets: Fresh vegetables, cheese or fish are easily accessible.

• Sightseeing in coastal cities: Small alleyways, historical buildings and cafes are waiting to be discovered.

• Everyday errands: From the pharmacy to the supermarket – everything is within easy reach with just a few pedal strokes.

This allows you to remain independent and plan shore excursions entirely according to your mood.

Lightweight folding e-bikes like those from MYVELO are particularly practical for longer distances, as they can be stored just as compactly and also boast electric assistance.

• Consider charging options: For e-bikes, think about charging in the port or on board well in advance.
