Strongly recommended

Great explanation of how to use the bikes and when one of us decided to rent a less powerful option, we received a refund for the difference.

Excellent service

Truly perfect experience. Very helpful and friendly staff, fast delivery, very fast return to the location near Ghirardelli Square. We rented 10 very nice e-bikes, excellent maintenance and practical to use. The tour of the Golden Gate Bridge and some areas of San Francisco was truly pleasant. Just be careful because at the location near Pier 39 you cannot return all e-bikes, it is better to inquire first.

Golden Gate with electric bikes highly recommended!

Beautiful bikes. It felt like having a moped because they went so fast. Very fast and impeccable pickup service. Really great. I don't know how I would have managed to visit San Francisco and the Golden Gate without these bicycles!

Excellent - but instruction could be clearer.

Bike was in excellent condition, check in was fast - but, for me anyway (as someone who had not experienced an e-bike previously), was too fast. The receptionist rushed through the bike features and I was thoroughly unprepared for the ride. Consequently at the steep ramp just prior to the bridge, I was unable to pedal and had to haul the heavy bike up the hill. He had omitted to tell me how the battery level affected the input from the pedals. As I say, I was impressed with the standard of the bike and, once i had figured out how the bike worked, really enjoyed the ride, the time in Sausalito and the ferry back. So I would recommend the service but just make sure you know how an electric bike works before you go!
