Pony Bike Ljubljana

Pony bikes in Ljubljana, Slovenia

Why with the Pony Bike?

The pony bike (in the picture above) is a small traditional Slovenian city bike. It’s built to navigate among the crowds on a small Ljubljana street.

The bike is foldable and has a surprisingly big comfortable seat. The ride is very smooth. The Old Ponies manufactured in the Ljubljana factory ROG were made of steel and were heavy as the new Ponies today are made out of Aluminium and very light.

If you think about buying one for yourself, you will come in first hand here with it.

Stylish and authentic Ljubljana bicycle. The price of a unit ranges between 400,00 - 700,00 EUR.

City Bike Ljubljana

City bikes in Ljubljana, Slovenia

Today you will see many more “regular” city bikes on the streets of Ljubljana than Ponies for 2-main reasons.

  1. The Ljubljana factory ROG closed its door in 1991. So the production stopped after 65 years. In 2017 the factory reopened in the other location, but there is still a 21-years gap left behind.

  2. The regular city bike is roughly half as cheap and half as big as a Pony bike.

The only thing that all types of bikes have in common is theft. In the cities, all tend to vanish if not watched against it.

On the button below you can take a closer look before booking a tour with a regular city bike.

Guests in one of our E&E Apartments. If all the bikes have already gone, we can offer you one of our regular bikes with a small surcharge, and you can still join the ride. The bikes we have are new. Contact us in advance so we can prepare the bikes, as they are not at the property site.
