Just super fun alternative way of seeing experiencing the gulf coast on biking trails through towns and on nature trails if you choose.
We had so much fun using the electric bikes with so many small towns you passed by on the self-guided tour. We did 30 miles in total, it took about five hours. So much fun, would highly recommend.
Sergei at ride it electric bikes was very friendly, explained everything about how the bike works. Provided use with a map off Timpoochee trail bike trail and told use locations not to miss. I would definitely use his Bike shop again if in the area.
Will not use Trip Advisor again. It’s much better to go through the business. We had a time trying to locate and when calling, the mailbox was full. The e-bikes were fun, but could be a bit dangerous. Rear view mirrors would have been very helpful. Printed instructions would have been good. We could have troubleshot then. Helmets should be provided too. Take time to practice abit before heading out.
Hello, Thank you for your review. We're glad you had fun on the e-bikes but sincerely apologize for the frustration with locating us and our full voicemail. We are correcting those issues now. We appreciate the great suggestions. We are adding printed instructions based on your feedback, and we provide helmets upon request. We apologize for the oversight during your rental. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide a much better experience. Best regards,
