Came across this during my lunch break. I haven't done a lot of digging, and I have no idea how well it actually works, but thought it'd be worth sharing: https://www.twistedroad.com/

Only thing I've read about the bike rental sites is the posted price isn't really what you pay. It's usually quite a bit more once all the fees get applied.

Oh yeah, if it's anything like Turo, you do tend to pay a bit more once everything is said and done.

(I ended up curbing a wheel and had to pay quite a bit more to cover the repair.)

I've got my bikes listed there and on ridersshare as well (both same idea, airbnb for bikes). Both easy peasy, go rent a bike and have a fun ride.

You trust people on your bikes? 

What does your insurance policy look like?

I think the "what does your insurance policy look like" might be a very important question here.

They'd probably want to bump up one's rates quite considerably if it ends up to be some sort of commercial type policy.

How Does Twisted Road’s Motorcycle Rental Insurance Work?

Riders Share Insurance - Riders Share (riders-share.com)

Twisted road has a 1mm liability coverage for all owners, and riders share has a 300k liability coverage for owners unless you have your own commercial policy and want to decline the provided coverage and take a larger profit.
