Frequently asked questions

What does owning a car in Valencia really cost?
On top of fuel, a car adds insurance, servicing, the ITV roadworthiness test, road tax, parking and depreciation. In Spain the total typically lands between 1,700 and 3,500 euros a year depending on use and vehicle. The calculator above uses today's real petrol price in Valencia and lets you adjust the rest to your own case.
Do I need a licence or insurance for an electric bike?
No. A pedal-assist electric bike with a 250 W motor that stops assisting at 25 km/h is legally a bicycle in Spain: no licence, no number plate, no roadworthiness test and no compulsory insurance.
Can I ride into the Low Emission Zone?
Yes. Bicycles and electric bikes face no emissions-based restrictions, because they emit nothing. The Low Emission Zone applies to motor vehicles according to their DGT environmental label.
How many kilometres of bike lane does Valencia have?
More than 200 km, including the cycle ring around the centre and the old Turia riverbed. Valencia is also very flat, so the bike is genuinely competitive with the car on time in the city.
What does the Clover subscription include?
The Riese & Müller bike, all maintenance and repairs, unlimited battery swaps, insurance, theft replacement, assistance and GPS. You never buy the bike, so there is no upfront payment and nothing to resell.
