I gave this a 5 star review because my friends loved it. I liked it too, for as long as I could muster the nerve. The guide was knowledgeable and compassionate. When I decided to give up he locked the bike up and offered to get me a ride. I opted to walk and enjoy the city while my friends sent texts of all the fun places hey’d visited.
I came to Austin for the weekend with my parents and my cousin, and the first thing we did was do the electric mini bike tour. Patrick and Justin were so much fun! They taught us about the major spots in the city, played fun music and took great pictures. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone with decent balance who is visiting Austin. And even if you’re a little bit scarred or unsure, they are very accommodating. For example, my mom was unable to ride her own bike, so she ended up riding with Justin and had as much fun as the rest of us.
This tour or Austin was super fun! The length was perfect and our leader was amazing and showed us super cool locations and sights! Amazing ride
Do NOT miss this fantastic experience. Patrick was our guide and he was great! The tour we took led us to many of the downtown attractions. We even stopped off for a great cup of coffee!
Holy cow! What an amazing way to explore a city! This is very unique and different from other tours I have taken, where you usually get talked at for an hour and you just snap photos that you'll never look at again. Using electric scooters allows you to truly immerse yourself and be involved with the experience. Our tour guide Tyler was very accommodating to what we wanted to learn about Austin and a great teacher for learning how to drive the bikes.I would recommended booking at the beginning of a trip, because Tyler showed us stuff we would've never known to visit without his recommendations.
A great and fun way to explore Austin whether you are a local or a visitor. The place is easy to find and our guide, Cope, texted and emailed several times to see if we had any questions and to introduce himself. Once we arrived, he went over how to use the bike and safety instructions which included wearing a helmet at all times. We practiced riding and turning in the parking lot and then hit the road for an amazing fun filled two hours!!! Cope showed us some interesting sights around Austin and stopped for photos as well. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to do something fun and memorable. More
I've been on this tour several times and highly recommend it!!!! Whether it's a business team builder or a fun time with family and friends getting outside and seeing the beautiful city of Austin is amazing!!! The bikes are easy and fun for all ages....and the guides are hilarious and FUN!!!
This was a very fun, and very engaging experience. They give you a quick crash course on how to ride their electric bikes, and make you feel comfortable before they take you out on the streets. Overall, I would do this again. Fun, Safe, and Engaging. Thanks for a great time guys, it was a pleasure, and I hope to be back again. Absolute aces, and earned the 5 stars.
This is the best way to see the city and feel cool all at the same time!! Much better than Segway tour as you dont feel like such a geek and learn about the city!
I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Austin or a local who wants to learn more about the city they live in.
I'm local, so I'll be back. I took my (70something) mom on a 9 a.m. vaguely-themed YBG tour (they offer some that are focused on specific aspects of Austin -- this one was more the general one) because it was her birthday and we had guests coming in to town and she still hasn't been downtown much. I expected the usual high points, just on a bike, and that would have been cool. What I got was a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide (Patrick) who took us on a tour that was an awesome combination of the usual high points and some fascinating side trips. (Dude knows a lot about all kinds of minutae, including chicken and tattoos and local plants and Texas history -- it totally didn't surprise me that he was a teacher in a past life!) We went places that I didn't know existed and had a blast. So, two thumbs up. And I would think this tour would be fine for almost anyone -- I drove because my mom gets nervous, but we were on easily operated, well maintained bikes and took safe, medium-traffic routes, and she totally could've handled it as well. Our fellow tour takers varied from college students on Spring break to, well, my mom. So anyone would enjoy it. And it's a pretty good deal for 2ish hours of really good guidance. Do it -- you'll be glad you did. More
