Rent a speaker you can take home on your bike in Copenhagen

Written by Frederik Scharling, who has worked with sound, events and music production for more than 15 years and runs Lejhøjtaler.dk in Copenhagen. Updated 8 September 2026.

Most Copenhageners do not own a car. We know, because the majority of our customers collect their equipment by bike. So we have built our rental around exactly that: professional sound light enough to cycle home with.

12 kg in a carry bag — that is the whole package

Our small speaker package weighs just 12 kg and comes in a padded sports bag. The bag sits fine on a rear rack, in a bike basket, or over your shoulder. You do not need a car, a van, or a strong friend with a big rucksack.

The package holds two compact 10" speakers plus every cable you need — iPhone cable, USB-C and AUX. You take the bag home, unpack, plug it in, and the music plays. It genuinely takes five minutes from walking in the door to sound.

Professional sound without heavy logistics

A speaker being light does not mean it sounds weak. Our small speakers are powered and deliver clear, strong sound covering up to 40 people in a room or a courtyard. That is more than enough for most private parties, birthdays and summer gatherings.

Professional sound does not have to mean heavy logistics. That was one of the reasons Lejhøjtaler.dk was started in the first place — the idea that audio rental in Copenhagen should fit the life people actually live in a city where the bike is the main way to get around.

Collect at Vermlandsgade 66, Copenhagen

Collection happens at our address: Vermlandsgade 66, 2300 Copenhagen. There is always one hour of free parking right by the door if you do come by car.

Most people collect on Friday afternoon and return on Monday. You turn up, pay by card or MobilePay, and walk out with the bag. No contracts, no waiting.

Not one for cycling? We deliver

If carrying equipment on a bike is not for you, we will bring it out. Delivery and setup anywhere in Copenhagen is 495 DKK, where you return it yourself, or 795 DKK if we both deliver it and collect it again after the party. You choose in the booking.

Delivery is the obvious choice if you are renting the large package with a subwoofer, which is too heavy for a bike. But the small package? That one is made for cycling.

Practical tips for the ride

A few pieces of advice when you collect by bike:

Use the rear rack. The bag has a flat bottom and sits stably. A bungee cord or a luggage strap holds it in place.
Take it easy. 12 kg changes the balance slightly, but it is about the same as a big bag of shopping. Most people adjust immediately.
Plan the route. Vermlandsgade is on Amager with a cycle path the whole way. Towards town you cross Langebro or Knippelsbro, and from Islands Brygge or Christianshavn it is a very short ride.
