Wonderful experience, great way to see San Francisco and cross over the Golden Gate Bridge. We loved it.

Amazing experience!

Iris_B, Jun 2023

Amazing experience!! Electric bike definitely worth the extra money when it came to the steeper hills. The views were breath taking !!

Riding the bikes across the Golden Gate Bridge with my daughter was an experience that will not be forgotten. Thanks for being part of our memories.

Fabulous Fun!

Judith_C, Oct 2022

We had such a good time doing this! We had the bikes all day long and returned them at the end of the day with half of the battery still left. We traveled all over the city (approximately 30 miles total). We rode them like regular bikes, used the battery sparingly, mostly to assist in climbing the hills. It was so cool to see the city and the scenery from the bike. It was a totally different experience than seeing the city from a car. Best part of all was eating a hot fudge sundae at Ghirardelli guilt free after a day of bike riding! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to see this beautiful city from a new perspective.

Great day in San...

Tanya_J, Apr 2022

Great customer service. The e-bikes were in great condition. This is the only way to really see San Fransisco!

Terrible experience

Kevin, Oct 2021

I would never book with these people. Unexpected fees that were never mentioned and staffing was rude.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Hi Kevin, We think you have the wrong company. We don't have any bookings from Viator or anywhere under your name. Contact us directly if you think otherwise, so we can resolve it- but we went back about a year or so. Thanks!

So much fun to bike across the...

John G, Aug 2017

So much fun to bike across the Golden Gate bridge. The ebikes make this an easy trip if you aren't athletic, but even the more fit members of our party had fun using the assisted pedaling. The only negative was having to bike to and from the bike shop to the bike path on the busy and crowded streets near Fisherman's Wharf, but it was worth that small hassle!

Ne vale la pena

stefania_a, Aug 2022

Avere una grande "spinta" in salita e controvento vale tutto il costo delle bici. Non sono una persona sportiva e senza bici elettrica mi sarei persa la traversata del ponte e sausalito

E-Bikes

Reinhold_H, Jul 2019

Lief alles optimal und ohne Komplikationen. Die Geschäftsführung war sehr zuvorkommend und die E-Bikes im sehr guten Zustand. Würde jedem empfehlen.
