A great day! Booking in advance was very straightforward. We were greeted very warmly when we arrived. The bikes are top class and in excellent condition. The price is more than fair. Madeira... beautiful! Overall 6 out of 5 stars for Happy bikes. Many thanks Dominic and Sabrina
I rented a road bike for 3 days. I had any problem with even if the roads were a disaster sometimes. Brakes were good too & it is not a detail when you are into downhill at 20%. Just one thing was a little problem, the back light witch was not much power (maybe the battery was low) I felt not very safe in the fog. I forgot to ask a lock when I took the bike, but normally it is included in the price like the helmet. Finally, I appreciated that the owner opened especially the shop for me during his holidays. Thanks
Rented a road bike and enduro bikes with a tour from Happy Bikes. Great quality bikes from Canyon. The guided tour from Pico do Areeiro down to Funchal was a fantastic experience and our guide was knowledgeable and suited the experience to fit all fitness levels in our group. Would definitely recommend!
I rented a road bike for a tour to go on top of Pico Alto. The bike was amazing: Canyon Endurance with carbon frame (very light, excellent for sportive riders). The shop put on the pedals that I needed, gave me a helmet and a small front bag, and helped me adjust the saddle. I highly recommend Happy Bikes.
Great bikes, great service and fair prices. And the best part is: the owner is a passionate biker who wants you to have a great time during your ride. We absolutely enjoyed our roadbike ride to Ponta do Sol!
Booked the Pico do Arieiro to Funchal tour for me and my girlfriend and we loved it! Rui is a great guide who makes sure that everyone can ride along and enjoy. The bikes and helmets are good quality! We'll be back for more!
This review is about Full Suspension XC MTB. To begin with - Rui goes above and beyond to make sure service is at the best standards possible. Thus, five stars are not even enough to capture the quality you get. Perfectly maintained bikes, cleaned and ready to go. In addition to this, full-suspension MTB's are equipped with a dropper. Without it, riding in Madeira with mountain bike at a full extent would be close to waste of time. I had a bike for almost two months solo riding, with a full service maintenance done in-between. Faced a few minor technical issues - Rui was always there to help, even though I was not in Funchal. Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for a full suspension XC MTB or any other bike Happy Bikes offers - in the end, its about the service and people's working there attitude, which is 110%. Pictures in the review are taken during the rides - you have to take MTB :)
Hired a road bike for 5 days while in Madeira. These guys where about the only place with top quality road bikes (canyon endurance carbon Fibre). Easy rental and helped me out with a few problems. Be warned, Madeira is steep! Every climb is 10% minimum. But good quiet roads.
This is the second time I hired from Happy Bikes. Always great communication and very helpful. I had the bike delivered for a fee, but was much appreciated when staying a distance from Funchal. Will be using again the next time Im visiting Madeira.
Great adventure, super great service.
Sehr freundlich, top Räder!
Haben heute 3 E-MTB zunächst für 4 Stunden gemietet, dann aber von unterwegs bis Tagesende verlängert. Cube-Markenfahrräder, technisch im Top-Zustand. Preise 30% günstiger, als wenn man das Gleiche auf dem Schiff buchen würde. Buchung per E-Mail auf Deutsch mit Bestätigung am nächsten Tag.
Explore Funchal with fresh air )
Van schip loop je er zo naar toe en 5 minuten later zit je op een prima MTB. Goede service!
Professional and fast communication in advance. Location directly from the cruise terminal exit. Friendly and professional handover, various pedals, helmet, GPS mount, etc. upon request. Very good price-performance ratio. Gladly again.
Excellent service and a great bike at a great price.
Very friendly and good bikes.
Really good service and accomodating to requests, highly recommended.
Leider konnte ich meine Reservierung aufgrund von Krankheit nicht wahrnehmen. Es war kein Problem diese ohne Kosten aufzuheben. Nicht selbstverständlich.
Gister in de winkel even langs geweest, vandaag twee MTB FULLY s laten bezorgen 08:30 en ophalen 18:30 omdat we liever zonder gids wilden fietsen (prachtige route via komoot). Echt alles top geregeld en prima fietsen.

Excelente o tour por Funchal com o time da happy bikes. Agendamento fácil direto com a loja, bicicletas em ótimo estado e o guia Rui muito atencioso. E Funchal é maravilhosa por si só.
Super experience!
Very good bike rental place. Did a guided MTB tour which was awesome. Also rented a road bike. Nice experience in all regards.
Bardzo mi a, pomocna obs uga. Dobry poziom j zyka angielskiego, fajny wybór sprz tu. Dodatkowo posiadaj sporo gotowych tras w plikach GPX (mtb, szosa itd). Po pro bie uda o si nawet na miejscu wgra je na garmina ;)
Very flexibele, very good prices, very good Bikes!!
What a great trip! The tour itself was beautiful and well adjusted to our fitness level and biking experience. The tour guide was considerate and made sure everyone was feeling alright. He also was well informed to answer questions about the tour and the island. Highly recommend!
Kleiner Radladen Man muss ihn erstmal finden.... Räder sind in gutem Zustand Nette Inhaber, Rennräder standard und Hardtails als ebike und standard Gute Preise klare Empfehlung
Very nice and friendly people! The bike has been in perfect shape (race bike from canyon) I will sure rent a bike again here the next time on this beautiful Island.
My airline lost my bike, leaving me stranded on Madeira. I emailed every rental company on the island and Happy Bikes got back to me within half an hour - even though it was almost midnight. Rui helped answer questions and prepare for me to come in first thing the next morning to rent a bike, spd pedals, and a helmet - all in the middle of the night! I highly recommend Happy Bikes for anyone looking to rent!
Nice people and great bikes!
Amazing experience, people very nice , good material and available, I fully recommend
We had great experience renting e-bikes!! The Owner is nice and super helpful and has bikes of amazing quality (Canyon, Scott, Cube). We even got charging cable and the tools in case we get a flat tire. And the prices are competitive. Highly recommended!
The woman working for the rental was super friendly. She explained all, she gave us all necessary tool with us and the price was also great. Thank you for an amazing experience
Je recommande Happy Bikes ! Le vélo que jai loué était de très bonne qualité et les prix sont corrects. Les gérants sont super sympas pour donner des conseils et des idées de parcours avec peu de voitures et des vues magnifiques ! Leur rapidité de réponse aux e-mails est également très appréciée. Merci à eux !
Excellent place to rent a bike and super friendly people! I rented a Canyon Endurance here and it was a great bike, looked brand new. The owner was very very kind and helpful as well. I recommend it for sure!
Mein Rad hatte eine super Qualität und die Beratung war sehr gut. Ich hatte eine schöne Rennradtour. Auch großes Rad vorhanden für größere Menschen.
We had such a great morning with Happy Bikes! My boyfriend has lots of mountain biking experience and I have never been. Our guide was so friendly and made sure we were happy and comfortable. He told us lots about Madeira too and gave us awesome recommendations. We both had a super fun time and saw so much nature - thank you
Great bikes and very helpful and enthusiastic service. I got to rent a CF roadbike in my size, not a given with my 162 cm and short legs. The bike was in excellent condition and with Ultegra components. I was also given advise on a good route according to my wishes, a bit of cardio a bit of sightseeing, and was sent a gpx-file. I only wish I would have stuck to the route instead of following the signs because I ended up in some long uphill tunnels breathing in the exhaust of 1980 s cars. Going back and sticking strictly to the route I got both a more scenic and pleasant ride.
Really helpful here when we wanted to hire two road bikes on short notice. Good bikes and good advice. Highly recommended!
Meget fornuftig pris, vi fik hurtigt vores cykler og nød en hel dag på cyklerne.
Very close to the cruise pier. Take their bike instead of only walk with a limited range. The bike will take you everywhere on this beautiful place. No need to take an expensive (cruise) tour. So nice to be a little adventurous. Nice owners, excellent bikes, good price. The saddles are a little tough. But apart from that, just do it
Przyzwoite ceny i bardzo dobry stan techniczny rowerów.
Very good service here
Very pleasant and chilled guide, great service (pick up at hotel, route ended at hotel), and very enjoyable route with mix of green/blue single trails, forest paths, levadas and roads to scenic view points. You can see and feel they love their island and share that love with you.
E bike City Tour Funchal - Cabo Girão Unforgettable e-bike tour with a visit to the fishing village of Camara de Lobos and the drive up to Cabo Girao and great views of the landscape with lots of explanations and tips from the guide. Tour was carried out as requested by Happy Bikes. Andrew
Very nice Guide (MTB) which is respecting the client wishes. And also helpful in the case someone has any issues during the ride. This is how it should be.
Ich habe mein Bike auf unserem Kreuzfahrt Schiff Mein Schiff 1 ausgeliehen. An der ersten Steigung nach dem Hafen löste sich eine Kettenniete. Zum Glück nur 50 Meter von Happy Bikes entfernt. Dort hat man mir sofort und unkompliziert geholfen, die Niete wieder rein zudrücken. Super freundlich und hilfsbereit, nochmal vielen Dank! Nicht einmal ein kleines Trinkgeld wollte die Mitarbeiterin annehmen. Das nächste Mal gerne gleich bei Happy Bikes. Muito obrigado!
Amazing rental service in Funchal!!! A cool selection of bikes and super friendly service. My ride was awesome! Thank you Happy Bikes.
Met z n tweeën een mountainbike tour gedaan. Eigenaar als gids. Echt heel goed geregeld. Echt een aanrader
Great experience! Great guide! Great bikes!
Great owner, material is top quality and very well maintained
First day visiting Funchal and got a puncture on my pram tyre - they fixed it on the spot straight away. Can t thank Happy Bikes enough.
Przyjazna wypo yczalnia. Rowery dobrej klasy, w cenie wyposa enie (kask, torebka na kierownic , komplet lampek i narz dzia). Polecam
Neue Räder in gutem Zustand. Die Bremsen könnten besser eingestellt sein.
Highly recommended
great ride today ! pico to funchal - some nice enduro-ish trails at the beginning mixed with a mellow levada and some tarmac roads the guide was great, too -taking great care and paying attention to us and even giving us some indications on how we could ride better - free coaching, yay! see you next time! :)
As far as I can tell, there aren t many places in Madeira to hire a road bike, most places rent out mountain bikes or e bikes. So I was relieved when I found Happy bikes Happy Bikes. They have a good selection of aluminium and carbon road bikes, in all sizes, for rent and they are all kept in great condition. Rui (the owner) adjusted the bike to as close as we could get it to my own bike at home and also provided me with a Garmin bar mount and I saddle bag with a spare tube, levers and a multi tool. My bike had a compact and a 32 cassette, which is a must in Madeira and as I said, was a great bike to ride, with good responsive brakes (essential!) and well tuned gears. I m already looking forward to coming back next year to tackle some more mountains. A final word, as someone else had said, be warned, almost every climb is at least 10% and some have 25+% ramps in the middle of them.
We made private ebike tour with Rui called levada do serra do faial-faja dos rolos: beautiful places in the forest e very nice experience...highly recommended!
Friendly staff, no deposit was required for a carbon roadbike. Happy customer:)
Super obs uga oraz rowery dobrej jako ci i zadbane
Great rental road bikes. Carbon framed bike in excellent condition Staff were very helpful even sending suggested routes by GPX to download Would definitely recommend
Great service, nice bike and on top we even got perfect route recommendations as gpx tracks
Otimas Bikes e atendimento.
Excellent service and a great bike (Canyon Endurance). If you are looking to rent a good quality road bike to tackle the island s climbs then look no further than Happy Bikes
Excelente serviço! E a bicicleta ideal para estes montes na madeira
Thank you for the amazing tour! Rui suggested a tour that was exactly what we were looking for and arranged everything so that we could focus on discovering the beautiful island. Very friendly, helpful and fun. The bikes were in good shape. Absolutely recommended!
Brilliant Service - 100% would use again Canyon CF with 52/36 + 11/34 - very happy to have to gears due to the climbing - shifted without issue, signs of good bike maintenance Thank you very much - enjoyed my ride.
Highly recommend Happy Bikes! We had an amazing experience here. We did 2 guided tours. 1 with mountain bikes and another with road bikes. The bikes are top of the line and really well maintained. Rui is super friendly and helpful, and he adjusted the tour perfectly based on our level for mountain biking and fitness level for the road bike. I felt super safe and had a lot of fun the entire time - despite not being a very experienced mountain biker. Get ready for lots of climbing! When we go back to Madeira we ll definitely rent from Rui again.
Kind people, very helpful. Thank you!
Muy buena experiencia. Buen servicio, la bicicleta en perfectas condiciones y todas las herramientas necesarias.
Super Organisation, tolle Tour entlang der Levadas und sehr netter Guide! Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung von uns!
Super expérience avec Happy bikes : nous avons loué 2 VTTs électriques pour faire le tour de l île. Les vélos sont des KTMs et tout est inclus dans le prix de la location. Les gérants sont très sympathiques et arrangeants, je recommande à 100% !
Lovely people running a customer friendly business. Excellent communication skills Highly recommended
sprawdzony dobry sprzet
Great bikes with good selection of types and sizes. Friendly staff, great prices, including accesories. Thank you!
Sehr zu empfehlen! Faire Preise und super Service. Die Bikes waren ebenfalls in top Zustand. Wir hatten viel Freude mit den Bikes
Dropped in off chance at 10am to hire 2 x e bikes for myself and the wife. 4 hours hire at a good price. Were given 2 quality Cube bikes. Very impressed by the bikes and also the friendly lady who dealt with us.
Rui was an excellent guide and the trails fantastic. He was very conscious of all members in our group and our different riding levels. He waited at junctions to explain the type of trail ahead. I will totally be back here!! Thank you Rui!
Sehr gute Marken-Fahrräder (wir hatten 2 E-Bikes) in Top-Zustand. Gute Beratung vorher, tolle Einführung (war unsere erste elektrische Erfahrung). Sehr nettes Team.
Bikes well-maintained and high-quality, friendly and accommodating shop. Provided a repair kit as well, which is great for peace of mind while exploring in more remote areas.
Great
Najlepsze ceny na wyspie, a w ofercie leciutkie Canyony Endurace na dobrym osprz cie (105 i ultegra). Ma y minus za brak mo liwo ci wyboru hamulców tarczowych.
Fantastic bikes, very friendly and competent service - it was an amazing day with spectacular views on their eBikes in the mountains around Funchal. Highly recommended!
the owner proved very helpful and flexible with our requests. Also took some time to provide us with many valuable tips on where to go hiking.
This is a first-rate bike rental and touring shop! Rui and his family speak English well and were very helpful in ensuring that we got bikes that were of the right size. We did an MTB tour from the heights that included moderate technical single track but also levada and some (inevitably) steep smaller roads. About 30km of great fun! We also hired eMTB for our own trip to the valley of the Nuns which was excellent - and my wife did another guided MTB tour of around 40 km which she really enjoyed. I had cancelled, feeling slightly unwell that day - but Rui still arranged for me to pick up a bike from the shop for a little local runaround instead. Hire and tour prices are very reasonable. The shop is not on the main drag - but finding it is well worth the effort!!
Great e-bikes & very friendly
Very friendly and competent. I rented a Canyon Endurance Carbon with Shimano 105. Very good bike, thank you. Next time Im in Funchal Ill be back
Après échange anticipé par e-mail, a su me fournir le vélo parfait pour mon projet (un vélo électrique pour sillonner de long en large lîle sur 2 semaines... à peine 300kms réalisé mais 10000m de dénivellé !). Dommage que je nai pû participer à une sortie en groupe cause COVID, peut-être une raison de revenir même si je vais rarement 2 fois au même endroit tant la planète est grande et la vie courte... Merci davoir ainsi participer à faire de mon voyage un excellent souvenir.
Very kind service and many real good bikes. Their e-MTB is like new and tip top.
Very kind and polite staff, bikes are great and in great condition, recommended!
We rented two carbon road bikes for the day for a climb up Areeiro. Surprisingly good kit; we were given Canyon Endurace CF with Ultegra groupset - absolutely lovely bikes. They included helmets and tools, the price was extremely good value, and the people in the shop were great. Highly recommended if you want to rent decent kit.
Very friendly and our bike was perfect.
Geniale fietsverhuur in Madeira! 1 dag racebikes gehuurd, top kwaliteit fietsen en goede service. 2e dag samen met gids Edgar gaan mountainbiken! Hele mooie route, kwaliteit fietsen en enorm veel lol gehad met Edgar! Hij kent het gebied enorm goed en nam ons mee naar mooie routes en plekken. Groot voordeel tov andere organisaties is de kleine groep. Wij waren met 2en en de gids. Met een andere organisatie in Madeira hadden we een grote groep van 7 mensen met veel verschil in ervaring! Wij komen hier zeker terug!
Wir haben uns zwei E-Bikes ausgeliehen und waren begeistert. Schon im Vorfeld war die Kommunikation super, Rui & sein Team sind sehr engagiert und der Preis für die E-Bikes ist unschlagbar - mit den Rädern kommt man auch gut in die Berge. Der Austausch eines Fahrrads war nach zwei Tagen problemlos möglich, auch die Rückgabe ging unkompliziert & schnell. Von uns eine uneingeschränkte Weiterempfehlung!
We rented some high quality and well maintained road bikes. Price and service were great, Rui and his colleague were helpful and very communicative throughout. Thank you!
Goede service
Konnten spontan vorbei fahren und haben sehr gute e-MTBs von KTM bekommen.
Supernette Leute. 1A Fahrräder, Top gewartet und alles was man braucht gab es dazu. Kommunikation vorher war auch sehr gut. Euch kann man nur weiterempfehlen.
Great friendly service. Hired ebikes took them to Porto Santo on the Lobo Marinho best way to explore.
Very FRIENDLY and DEDICATED staff. We rent two road bikes. Luckily, our sizes were available. We could make them install SPD pedal in advance. Helmets we received were almost new. I strongly recommend for individuals or small groups.
Awesome, new KTM electric bikes which are phenomenal. Great price, fantastic service, will be using again for sure
Bom atendimento
Bad experience, bad e-bikes whose batteries kept failing, then had to wait 45 minutes in a village for repairs after which we turned around. In case of complaints with a lot of telephone contact with the boss, half of the amount was ultimately refunded. DONT
Very helpful. Will hire again when next in Funchal.
We are just back from our cycle trip to Madeira, it was a fabulous experience made better by the help we received from Happy Bikes. They sorted the equipment we needed, pannier racks and specific pedal types to make life easier, anything to make the trip up the hills (of which there are plenty) more comfortable. We did a round the island tour but didn t fancy the last main road drag from Jardim do Mar to Funchal and arranged a last minute pick up with HB to take us and the bikes to Funchal, for a very reasonable price too. We would absolutely recommend them!
Easy to reserve online in advance, excellent location near cruise ships, I booked for 4 hours, if you want to ride uphill (there are a lot of hills around, but waterfront is flat heading right) get an ebike. It comes with helmet. Super friendly and English speaking. Great value for money.
Thank you very much for making the tour with me, although the other two guys cancelled. The tour was great, I liked the fully suspension Canyon bike. Guide Ruiz was very friendly and responsible. Forest, views, trails were awesome!
Bester Fahrradladen überhaupt. Unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit. Unser e-MTB waren in sehr sehr guter Qualität! Nur zum empfehlen, schnell und einfach. Haben allerdings online reserviert. Wir würden immer wieder zu happy bikes gehen. 7min Fußweg von der Aida entfernt.
Location pas cher et pratique . Je conseille le vélo électrique a Madère. Top!
Positive discussions before arrival. Then not possible to rent for less than 1 day so i left quite disappointed.
Friendly staff. It was fun to cycle around the town!
The ideal place to visit for a e-bike and easy cross-country tours !
Hired a bike from Happy Bikes today. Great place. Really happy with the quality of service and value for money. Bike hats, spare tube, pump and tyre levers supplied at no extra cost.
Very good
Reasonable price for a few hours on an e-bike to explore Funchal
Very helpful team. We hired mountain bikes to explore, the old town, marina and covered most if of the flat area of Funchal in one afternoon. We would recommend the Portela mountain tour, some challenging hills as were over 50! Our guide, Dino, was great company, a great ambassador for Madeira and very patient!
