    Fun way to get around

    Malisa_H, Nov 2025
    We rented from Viator because it’s a trusted source and I think cheaper. Convenient location to the bridge. Employee was nice and had a good sense of humor. Son and I enjoyed ourselves getting around town on ebikes.

    Great experience

    Michael_D, Sep 2025
    Great experience to cycle over the Golden Gate Bridge. The staff in the bike shop were very helpful especially Yordi

    All around a great experience

    Russell_S, Aug 2025
    Trustworthy and reliable bikes, great instructions how to use bikes, good directions, easy access. Best price available!!!

    Bike Adventure

    BethAnn_W, Jul 2025
    Great! We loved going to the Golden Gate Bridge! So romantic! I would definitely recommend! Don’t go to late because if you go at 6pm, you have to be back by 7:45pm instead of 8pm

    Unsafe and Uncaring

    Julie_L, Jun 2025
    Rude. Terrible customer service. All bikes at Beach location are new but same size and too tall for even after lowering seat. They encouraged me to try and if it did not work out come back. I got a block away and could not stop on a hill because I could not touch the ground and crashed bad. Walked the both bikes back crying, bruised and scraped. Had rented 2 bikes for myself for a full day w/ferry pass and had them for less than 1 hour. In pain for a week, when to the doctor and PT. Was very surprised to see they still charged me the $178.70 I put in for a 50% refund thinking I would split financial responsibility but it was flatly refused with no explanation. No will contact me. Talk about adding insult to injury! UNSAFE and UNCARING!

    Amazing! Must do. Biked across Golden Gate Bridge then took the ferry back! The views are stunning. Close look at Alcatraz on ferry trip back too.

    Wilhelmina_M, Jun 2025
    The ebikes were fantastic, better than the great ones we own. Scanning the QR code of points of interest attached to the bike before leaving the store using the store Wifi would have been helpful

    Oversold our rentals…

    Matt_S, May 2025
    We showed up for our 4 full day e-bike rentals and they had rented them out to someone else. We had a reservation and had prepaid days in advance! They couldn’t even refund us there. Told us to email and inquire about getting our money back!! Be careful!

    Bikes were great, very...

    KierraJoyce, May 2025
    Bikes were great, very easy to use and was a great day out. The staff working on the day had appalling attitude and were so rude it was very uncomfortable.

    old and unreliable

    Tom_W, May 2025
    the bikes we were given were not in good shape... 11 bike I couldn't use 3 or 4 of the middle gears and the chain came off twice the bike my daughter was using the chain came off and it got stuck in the sprocket and I had to pull and pry it out and got my hands covered with grease. none of the bikes had a phone carrier so we could use the self guided tour since we couldn't watch maps as we went

    We all had a great time....

    Tim_B, Apr 2025
    We all had a great time. The highlight was riding on the Golden gate bridge. Jodi did a great job as our guide.

    Did not get what we paid for

    Sonya_H, Mar 2025
    They were out of bikes at the place we reserved, so after spending $25 on public transportation to get there, I had to spend $20 more to go to their other store. When we got there we found out that they only had 1 e-bike and the other 2 were pedal assist. This is not what we thought we were getting…especially in San Francisco. Not a good experience at all.

    Hilll climbs awesome. Fun!

    Sherry_P, Jan 2025
    The bikes are so much fun! Had no trouble climbing the hills. They are fast too. Best time with my daughter.

    A must do experience in San Fran

    Asley_P, Aug 2024
    Amazing experience. I really enjoyed the bike ride. Very friendly staff and I am happy with my experience.

    Fantastic!

    Shelley_B, Aug 2024
    Easy pickup, rode for 6-hours, over the bridge to Sausalito, around the edges of the bay. Bikes were in excellent condition and faultless. Great!

    Bait and switch

    Kyle_S, Aug 2024
    Rented 2 bikes thru Viator app. Selected conventional bikes instead of E bikes. When we showed up the reservation was for e bikes which cost considerably more. Attempted to get the refund for the difference was rejected by Viator. Watch the bait and switch!!!

    Play tourist in your own city

    Tyne, Jun 2024
    Decided to play tourist in our city and rent e bikes for the day. Did the Bay Trail from rental office to Sausalito. It took around 45 minutes on the e bike, each way. Would recommend to everyone visiting and living in the Bay!

    Riding the bike on the Golden Gate bridge!! Beautiful. Checking Union and Ghirardelli square. The bikes were wonderful.

    Riding to Sausalito

    Ken, Jun 2023
    Staff were exceptional in the entire process of checking out and returning the bikes and providing instructions

    Didn’t work out!

    benfollansbee, Oct 2022
    TL;DR - Never got our bikes and the experience was ruined. 1 day before my rental, they asked me if I’d pick up the bikes from a different location. I obliged. They called the next morning to ask the same Q, and I agreed again. Sensing they were not very organized, I called in advance a 3rd time to make sure they would have my bikes available. When I finally arrived, lo and behold, the bikes were NOT THERE. Company is disorganized. I would strongly recommend avoiding.

    Electric all the way!

    ingrid_d, Aug 2022
    We rented the electric bikes and were so glad we did (a lot of hills). We reserved them on line and had no issues. Loved our experience. A great way to get around, go over the bridge and visit Sausalito.

    Unlimited is very limited!

    Peter_R, Aug 2022
    The most memorable part of our is realizing that after a 6 mile ride to The Mosaic Stairs and our batteries were down to two bars! We had planned to explore Golden Gate Park but we couldn’t because we didn’t want to get stranded with dead batteries. When we got back to the rental office they made up worthless excuses. At the time of rental they did no training or assistance with adjusting the bike for a more comfortable ride. So unlimited is very limited in reality!

    Amazing and totally worth it!

    Casey_G, Jun 2022
    Okay definitely worth the cost!! and the electric bike vs. regular. i’m pretty athletic and biking up those hills and to sausalito was TOUGH. although i’d check with the company directly because the info on viator was inaccurate.

    Bikes unavailable when already paid

    Jess_D, Jul 2021
    The man working was very nice and tried to be helpful, but it was quite upsetting that they did not have the bikes we reserved after paying. Hoping to get a refund for this trip we did not participate in :(

    Great family day

    Oscar, Jul 2021
    Amazing excursion on our own to Sausalito. Highly recommended. I recommend to arrive early to unlimited biking. Non organized. Our e bikes were already rented to other customer despite I booked 2 weeks in advance and prepaid. I needed more than one hour to obtain my bikes and thanks to the kind Mexican mechanic who fix a couple os “out of order” for me after the manager just told “other guy came earlier paying full fare in cash”…

    Lifetime memories

    Jsb, May 2021
    A truly amazing experience. From top-notch service at the bike shop, to stunning views biking through San Francisco, over the Golden Gate bridge, and into Sausalito. This is an experience not to miss.

    Nice bikes, nice staff

    Martijn_v, Jul 2025
    With the electric bike over the bridge and still on to the 2 ferry. Nice trip, nice bikes, and nice staff.

    Vicente_S, Apr 2025
    Hemos tenido que cancelar la reserva en el sitio porque no tenían bicicletas para la medida de mis hijas. El mismo sitio mandó mensaje a la aplicación para informar de lo sucedido. Hemos pedido la devolución del importe y estamos esperando contestación.

    Chouette balade

    Carole_M, Oct 2024
    Balade très agréable autant pour la traversée du Golden Gate que pour les rues de San Francisco. Vélo hyper maniable.

    Superbe activité!!

    Cathy_D, Jul 2023
    La facilité d’utilisation des vélos électriques… Dans une ville comme San Francisco, un vélo avec assistance est un plus pour l’expérience et permet de faire un itinéraire beaucoup plus long. Le préposé nous a fournit des vélos plus puissants avec plus d’autonomie ce qui nous a permis de faire une randonnée d’environ 45 km sans problèmes…
