Introduction
Beach and island hotels face unique challenges and opportunities when it comes to providing mobility solutions for their guests and staff. The natural beauty and often expansive nature of these properties mean that effective, reliable, and enjoyable transportation options are essential. Guests need convenient ways to explore the surroundings, while staff require efficient methods to move around the property and perform their duties. At DERBAL, we understand these needs and offer a diverse range of products designed to enhance both guest experience and operational efficiency.
Bikes: The Perfect Solution for Beach and Island Hotels
Bicycles have long been a staple for hotels, especially those in beach and island locations. They offer an eco-friendly and health-promoting way for guests to enjoy the local scenery and attractions. For these reasons, human-powered bicycles are an excellent choice for beach and island hotels.
Benefits of Bikes for Guests
Bicycles allow guests to experience the local environment at their own pace. They can enjoy leisurely rides along the beach, explore nearby villages, or simply use them as a convenient mode of transportation within the hotel grounds. Offering bikes can significantly enhance guest satisfaction and provide a memorable experience.
Rental and Provision Models
Hotels can either provide two bikes per room (one for men and one for women) as part of the room amenities or rent them out to guests. Both models have their advantages. Providing bikes as part of the room package can be a strong selling point, while renting them out can generate additional revenue.

eBikes and Scooters: Comfortable Commuting for Hotel Staff
In addition to traditional bikes, eBikes and scooters are becoming increasingly popular among hotel executives and staff for commuting. These electric options provide a convenient and eco-friendly way to travel around the property and local area, particularly on islands where the scenic routes offer a pleasant ride.
Benefits of eBikes and Scooters
eBikes and scooters offer several advantages for hotel staff. They reduce physical exertion, allowing staff to move around the property more efficiently and comfortably. This is particularly important for staff members who need to travel long distances or carry heavy loads.
Recommended eBike and Scooter Models

Tricycles: Ideal for Housekeeping and Maintenance Staff
Tricycles are perfect for housekeeping and maintenance staff, providing stability and ample storage space for supplies. Their three-wheel design offers greater balance, making them a safe and practical choice for transporting cleaning equipment and other necessities around the property.
Benefits of Tricycles for Staff
Tricycles allow housekeeping and maintenance staff to carry more supplies and equipment than they could with a regular bicycle. This increased capacity means fewer trips back and forth, improving efficiency and reducing the time needed to complete tasks.

These bikes can withstand the daily wear and tear associated with guest use, ensuring a long lifespan.
Alternatively, aluminum alloy bikes offer the advantage of being lightweight and rust-resistant.

This ensures that the bikes remain in good condition and require less maintenance over time, providing a smooth and comfortable ride for guests.
