Motorcycle Rental in Denver: Every Shop, Adventure Bike, and Price Compared
Aug 6, 2026
Nine operators rent motorcycles or scooters in the Denver metro area, and the split between them is not the usual one. Denver is an adventure market, and the deepest adventure inventory does not sit where most riders look first. Daily rates start at $25 for a listing on Riders Share and run to $331 for a customized Harley touring trike at EagleRider, with the dedicated adventure shop in Golden priced from $190 to $310 per day before insurance. Deposits range from a waivable damage waiver on Riders Share to a $2,500 hold at Colorado Motorcycle Adventures. All figures below were pulled from each operator's public website or booking system on August 5, 2026, for August 2026 availability.

Inventory counts reflect what each operator displayed on its own site as of August 5, 2026, and change daily. Colorado Motorcycle Adventures, EagleRider, and Front Range Adventure Rentals figures are model counts rather than individual unit counts. Twisted Road is a live marketplace listing count. The Riders Share figure is the count published on the operator's Denver and Colorado pages rather than a dated availability search. EagleRider's Denver market page displays 31 motorcycle models, 6 of which attribute to the EagleRider Greeley station roughly 50 miles north, shown as a sub-row above, leaving 25 at the Denver station. EagleShare is a marketplace operated by EagleRider Holdings, and the Denver listings it displays are predominantly the same EagleRider Denver units, so the two rows overlap and shouldn't be added together. Denver Moto Adventures rents its BMW dual sport fleet through Riders Share and Twisted Road, so its bikes are already counted in those two figures. ScooTours Denver rents 50cc scooters and no motorcycles. Colorado Tour Bike Rentals maintains a public website but didn't return rate, deposit, mileage, gear, age, or hours information on the verification date.

About this comparison
The information on this page was compiled from publicly available sources, including each operator's own website, published rate sheets, and booking systems, on August 5, 2026. Rates, inventory, deposits, mileage, gear, and hours change frequently and vary by season, demand, bike model, and listing, and shouldn't be relied on as current pricing. Where a field reads "not listed," the operator didn't publish that information on the verification date. Riders Share is not affiliated with and does not endorse Colorado Motorcycle Adventures, Colorado Tour Bike Rentals, Denver Moto Adventures, EagleRider, EagleShare, Front Range Adventure Rentals, ScooTours Denver, or Twisted Road.

Where can I rent a motorcycle in Denver?
Denver supports three kinds of rental operation, and which one you choose decides whether you can get an adventure bike at all.
Fixed fleet shops hold their own inventory and publish rate cards. Colorado Motorcycle Adventures in Golden, EagleRider in Denver, and Front Range Adventure Rentals in Lakewood all work this way. You know the price before you search, and the inventory is whatever the shop owns.
Peer-to-peer marketplaces list motorcycles from private owners, with each owner setting the rate, the mileage terms, and the gear. Riders Share publishes 90 or more motorcycles for Denver, and Twisted Road carries 45, both drawing on the same pool of local owners. The two platforms reach categories the fixed fleet shops don't stock, and over half of Colorado owners offer delivery, which puts a bike at a downtown hotel or at Denver International Airport instead of sending you 20 miles out to Golden.
The third group is the one to understand before booking. Denver Moto Adventures is a dedicated BMW dual sport outfit with its own website, fleet, and route guides, but it doesn't run its own booking system. Its bikes are listed on the marketplaces, and its own site marks direct rentals as coming soon. A working adventure shop here reaches renters through the marketplaces rather than a counter of its own.
Two other names in a search rent something else. ScooTours Denver rents 50cc scooters downtown, and Colorado Tour Bike Rentals in Aurora publishes a site but no rates. Distance matters too: EagleRider lists no street address on its Denver page, and the six customized Harleys in its Denver results actually sit in Greeley, about 50 miles north. Read where the bike physically sits before you build a pickup around it.
Why some Denver motorcycle rental companies are hard to pin down
Several names that surface in directories for motorcycle rental in Denver are inactive, relocated, or renting something other than street motorcycles. That's the most common reason a rider calls a number and gets nowhere.
Mile High Adventure Rentals still ranks in Denver searches, but its own site now lists dirt bike and ATV pickup in Silverthorne, roughly 70 miles west in the mountains. EagleShare returns Denver inventory that's predominantly the same EagleRider Denver units already listed on EagleRider's own site, so comparing the two often means comparing one operator twice. Colorado Tour Bike Rentals keeps a live website with no rates, LuxMotion in Boulder returned no rental content, and Backbone Adventures in Estes Park rents ATVs, Jeeps, and ebikes rather than motorcycles. Each active company discloses this on its own site, but it rarely survives the trip into third-party listings, which is why the chart above works from operator sources and carries a verification date.
Can you rent an adventure bike in Colorado?
Yes, and Denver's one of the better places in the country to do it, but the deepest inventory isn't where most riders look first. Adventure bike rental in Colorado runs in unusually high demand here, because the riding the state is known for, mountain passes, unpaved forest roads, and the Colorado Backcountry Discovery Route, needs a machine that can leave the pavement. Most local fixed fleet shops carry adventure bikes thin.
Colorado Motorcycle Adventures in Golden is the market's dedicated adventure specialist and a genuine one. Its 11-bike fleet is built around BMW, KTM, Honda, and Aprilia dual sport and adventure machines, every rental includes unlimited mileage, and it runs guided and self-guided tours across the Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Wyoming Backcountry Discovery Routes. It also prices like a specialist, from $235 to $310 per day on a one or two day rental, plus a mandatory $35 per day insurance charge and gear rented a la carte, so a one-day adventure rental clears $280 before a helmet. Front Range Adventure Rentals carries a single Tenere 700 in a three-bike on-road fleet and includes no gear. EagleRider stocks a few BMW GS and Pan America models inside a Harley-heavy fleet.
The depth is on the marketplaces. Riders Share carries adventure and dual sport machines across its 90-plus Denver listings, spanning the BMW R 1250 GS, Honda Africa Twin, Yamaha Tenere 700, and Kawasaki Versys 650, with gear free and most listings on unlimited miles. Denver Moto Adventures, the dedicated dual sport shop, lists its BMW GS machines there rather than booking direct. If the trip's an adventure trip, the marketplaces stock more of the right bike, at a lower floor, than the shops do.
How much is a motorcycle rental in Denver?
The lowest published rate in the market is $25 per day on Riders Share, where owners set their own prices, with the Colorado state page opening at $30. Twisted Road displays from $67 per day after a first-time rider discount. Among the fixed fleet shops, EagleRider opens at $121, and Colorado Motorcycle Adventures opens at $190 per day on a longer rental, $235 on a single day.
The daily rate is where a comparison starts, not where it ends. Four fields decide the real number: the deposit, the mileage terms, the gear line, and whether insurance is bundled or charged separately.
Colorado Motorcycle Adventures shows the gap most clearly. A $235 adventure bike carries a mandatory $35 per day insurance charge the rate doesn't show, gear is rented a la carte at $10 an item, and the shop authorizes a damage deposit equal to the insurance deductible, typically $2,500. EagleRider authorizes $1,000 to $3,000 at pickup and includes a helmet. Front Range Adventure Rentals adds $25 to $30 per day for insurance and includes no gear. On the marketplaces, gear is often free, most listings run unlimited miles, and Riders Share waives the deposit for riders who submit proof of comprehensive and collision coverage. Read the deposit, mileage cap, gear, and insurance charge together before comparing daily rates.
How much does it cost to rent a Harley in Denver?
EagleRider prices its Denver Harley fleet by model, from $196 for a Heritage Softail Classic to $331 for a Tri Glide Ultra touring trike, with the Street Glide and Road Glide at $208. The six customized Harleys that also appear in its Denver results sit at the Greeley station about 50 miles north, from $196 to $267. Owner listings on the marketplaces cover the same model families at lower, owner-set rates.
Do Denver motorcycle rentals include gear?
Most do, though what arrives with the bike varies. Riders Share includes free gear, with helmets, jackets, gloves, and boots in sizes S through XXL depending on the bike. EagleRider and Denver Moto Adventures include a helmet, and ScooTours includes a helmet, eye protection, gloves, and a lock. Two shops are the exception: Colorado Motorcycle Adventures rents gear a la carte at $10 an item and doesn't rent boots, and Front Range Adventure Rentals includes nothing and requires riders to bring their own.
Colorado law sets the floor. The state requires a DOT-approved helmet for riders and passengers under 18, and eye protection for everyone regardless of a windscreen. Pack layers on any ride that leaves the city, because a route can start warm in Denver, climb a pass into thin, cold mountain air, and drop back down 20 degrees warmer on the same afternoon.
What is the motorcycle riding season in Colorado?
Colorado's riding season is shaped by elevation. Peak season for the mountain passes Colorado is known for runs June through September, when the high routes are open. July and August offer full mountain access and the highest demand, with afternoon thunderstorms common from about 2:00 to 5:00 pm, so plan mountain days for the morning and book two to three weeks ahead.
May and June bring the passes reopening, with possible snow at elevation. September and October deliver cooler temperatures and peak fall color, and are many riders' favorite window. From November through April the high passes close and riding is limited to lower elevations on the Front Range, where Denver's roughly 300 days of sun a year still allow riding on mild days with the right gear. For an adventure or dual sport trip, aim for July through September, when the forest roads and the Backcountry Discovery Route are clear.
