Anywhere! The South Lake Tahoe extensive bike trail network runs right by the shop. From there you can easily ride to multiple beaches like Cove East, Kiva Beach, Baldwin Beach, Camp Richardson, and scenic bike paths through forests and meadows.

While walk-ins are welcome, we recommend booking in advance, especially during weekends and holidays to guarantee availability, particularly for DeLuxe E-bikes and Fat Tire E-bikes. Reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. If you are less than 24 hours, simply come in and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Helmets are required for riders under 18 and for all throttle equipped e-bikes such as Fat tire e-bikes, Power e-bikes and Cargo e-bikes, but we strongly recommend to use a helmet for all bikes. We provide them free with every rental.

Yes! We have kid-sized bikes as well as trailers, tag-alongs, and child seats so the whole family can enjoy the ride together. Kids under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

We offer a wide range of top brand bikes like Aventon, Fuji, or BESV, including all-trail and comfort e-bikes, power e-bikes, fat tire e-bikes, cargo e-bikes, and surrey bikes for two to four adults (plus a couple of young kids!), kids’ bikes, road bikes and tandem bikes. A variety of accessories, such as child seats and picnic baskets, are also available. Find more details on What bike is appropriate for you in that article.

Not only Comfort e-bikes and DeLuxe e-bikes are not difficult to ride but they make it easier, for example to get the bike going at a green light, to climb a hill, or to go much further than on a regular bike with a lot less effort, thanks to the power assist. Power ebikes and especially fat tire e-bikes are more powerful, heavier, and should be handled with care.
