A group of 10 of us went out for my 30th birthday this past weekend, and EVERY SINGLE ONE of us had a BLAST!! (Even with my brother taking a fall and husbands bike's battery dying shortly into the tour). Because of one of our bikes dying, Ryan quickly made it a point to offer me a refund for the bike. Customer Service here is amazing. I can't say enough good things about the actual tour or the company. If other family members come visit me in Austin, this will definitely be back on the to-do list!
I booked this as something fun to do while visiting my 25 yr old son for the weekend. Was looking for an activity that he would enjoy doing too, while giving me a nice overview of downtown Austin. We did the 9am tour on a Saturday in June, which was perfect. It hadn't gotten hot yet, and there wasn't much traffic. Our guide Tyler was great - a perfect mix of knowledgeable, enthusiastic and silly.
Had an amazing time! Rooster was a very knowledgeable tour guide and catered the ride to what we wanted to see. I would definitely do it again and hope that this becomes available in other cities.
Rooster was an incredible guide. Took tons of great photos of myself and wife. He made it fun and informative A blast. Joel and Jess Lerner aka Otter and Bull dog. South Florida
Tour operator was awesome, made the adventure both fun and educational. The electric bikes are a blast to cruise around downtown Austin on. I would definitely go back for another ride with them.
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
We love the tour on the electric bikes. Myself being a first time rider, it was very easy to learn and felt comfortable the entire time. We enjoyed seeing the area and heard about the history and making stops along the way. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin!!
The ride was awesome and we saw some really cool things about a new city. I would totally suggest anyone heading to Austin check into this!
The bikes were fun to ride, our entourage guide Rooster had tons of great information about Austin, and we were able to see some great highlights. Would definitely recommend this for a fun vacation activity!
First, the day was very hot, mid 90's. Biker Gang supplied us water and reminded us to keep hydrated. This was very good. Patrick was our group leader and was a fun and knowledgeable guide. The route was fun and informative considering it was just a two hour experience. We stopped several times for photo ops. My only suggestion would be for perhaps a little more practice time, but I was probably the slowest of our group of 6 to pick up the driving of the scooters. I just turned 60 and it's been a while since I've been on a bike and also had no clue about using a hand throttle. Even so, a very fun time!
Cope was a great guide taking us through Austin and being our unofficial photographer! He was extremely patient when some of the riders just weren’t getting the hang of it and made sure to always look out for everyone while on the road. Would recommend to everyone!
