Our guide was Tyler and he was perfect. Knowledgeable, helpful and fun; seriously great at his job. It was a gorgeous day and, after our training, we felt completely comfortable on the bikes. We saw a lot of the town and loved the experience. It was one of our favorite parts of our trip. I would go on another ride if there was one near where I live. Thank you again! Catherine
We saw this tour was rated 5-Stars and couldn't agree more. Tyler did a great job of pulling together a group of experienced riders and beginners - locals and out-of-towners -everyone had a great time. He took us from SoCo to the Capitol and east to west - stopping at interesting spots along the way.
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.
This tour was so much fun. We got some great pictures at the murals. Very safe and plenty of hands on instruction before hitting the road. We had Patrick as a tour guide and really enjoyed his reggae music. People always smile as you pass by. Just do it! You will be so glad you did!
We booked this in the early part of our Austin trip to get a little layout and introduction to the area. It was SXSW and the town was getting crazy. Our guide gave us some quick lessons, and we were off seeing local sites like Lady Bird Lake and the Willie Nelson Statue. During this trip we rode B cycles, jump scooters, and pedi cabs but this was the most fun. People we encountered would ask where they could rent these. These were for 2 hour tours but it would be fantastic to rent these by the day! FUN!
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
I highly recommend this tour! Our guide Peanut was amazing, full of energy, and full of fun facts about the city!
This a MUST tour in Austin! They have different tours of Downtown and we choose the Food Truck tour. There are so many food trucks for all types cuisines. You learn a little of the history of Austin, eat great food and ride a bike. The staff is super cool and they take great pictures for free! They welcomed us with plenty of water bottles, bandanas for some coolness and some gloves. As for Cope, he is fun and knows all the spots to have fun. I will definitely ride again.
We had so much fun doing this electric bike tour with Justin! He was so much fun and you could tell he was very passionate about making sure everyone had a good time and was comfortable and safe on their bikes. We were a little nervous at first, but Justin was very encouraging, helpful and patient with beginners! After some practice, we were on the road, and boy did we have a blast! Justin showed us some unique spots around the city that we would have never seen on our own. We highly recommend this tour to anyone- whether you are an experienced or beginning rider. You won’t regret it! Thanks to Justin and the rest of the team for making us feel comfortable and welcome and for showing us a great time. It was definitely a highlight of our trip! More
Get ready to laugh and have a great time! They take time to teach you how to ride, super easy. Got to get see some of Austin and had lunch at the food trucks. We have 4 of us and it was the perfect way to start our girls weekend in Austin!! Loved it!!!
Amazing staff! Our guide had energy, passion and a love for the city and our ride! They gave us good instruction, then we set off on a fun tour of the city! They are the best
