Yes — Vienna is very bike- and scooter-friendly, and both options are easy and widely available. Here’s how it works:
🚲 Bike Sharing in Vienna #
-
WienMobil Rad (formerly Citybike Wien)
-
Main bike-sharing system, run by Wiener Linien.
-
200+ docking stations across the city.
-
Cost: First 30 minutes often free with registration, then about €0.60/30 min, capped at ~€15 per day.
-
Payment via app (WienMobil Rad) or credit card.
-
Stations are at all major U-Bahn stops, parks, and central areas.
-
-
Other options:
-
Private rentals (pedal + e-bikes) available from shops (e.g., Pedal Power) — good for a full-day Danube or vineyard ride.
-
👉 Great for: short hops around the city, sightseeing along the Ringstrasse bike path, or cycling the Danube Canal.
🛴 E-Scooter Rentals #
Several international providers operate in Vienna:
-
Lime, Bird, Tier, Bolt, Link → all available via apps.
-
Cost: ~€1 unlock fee + €0.15–0.25 per minute.
-
Example: a 10-minute ride ≈ €2.50–3.00.
-
-
Scooters are geofenced → no-go zones in pedestrian-only areas (like Stephansplatz, Kärntner Straße).
-
Helmets are recommended but not required.
-
Scooters must be parked responsibly (on sidewalks at designated zones, not blocking walkways).
👉 Great for: zipping around between sights, if you don’t want to wait for a tram.
🌍 Infrastructure & Ease #
-
Bike lanes: Vienna has 1,400+ km of cycle paths, including the scenic Ringstrasse loop and Danube Island.
-
Scooter use: Allowed on bike lanes and roads, not on sidewalks.
-
Apps: The WienMobil app combines public transport, bike sharing, car sharing, and scooters in one platform → super convenient for mixed transport.
✅ Summary #
-
Bike sharing → Cheap, reliable, great for sightseeing & locals.
-
E-scooters → Everywhere, app-based, flexible for short rides.
-
Both are easy to use for visitors, with English-language apps and pay-as-you-go pricing.
