These are fun to drive, easy to drive & are a great way to tour the downtown area of Austin! We had family in town from Wisconsin & this was an amazing interactive way to get everyone around! Tyler, our tour guide, added fun and energy to the tour! If you're weary of not knowing how to ride this bike, don't be. We all learned the day of and were on the road in 15 minutes!
Highly recommend and will absolutely schedule with family and friends again. Cope was the best! Down to earth, fun and made the ride a real adventure!!
What a blast.Great way to see Austin.Great history lesson.Did not want it to end.Cope was full of great insights.
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!
Had a great time, with an excellent road captain Cope. Would absolutely recommend to people. Fun way to see the city.
Highly recommend. Major fun and a great city tour. We had a group of 10 family members with 7 Bikes. The bikes are really cool - Easy to ride and control but feel more like a motorcycle than a bicycle. Great to cruise around like a "gang" owning the streets. Our tour guide was great, he made it fun and interesting and we covered a surprising amount of ground. Highly recommend this tour to all group types, from couples to large groups as a cool way to see and experience the city. We were also able to hike our minor children comfortably and safely with us which is a real plus for families.
I was in Austin for a limited amount of time. This tour let me see a lot of cool spots that i would have never known about. They let you chose what you'd rather see - between art, nightlife spots, museums, etc. Riding through the city on these fat tire bikes were a lot of fun, we also had some great music playing and it was a beautiful day outside. I would recommend and would go again.
We planned two full days in Austin and had never been before. When I found this tour I was excited that it was on an electric bike since I knew we’d be able to cover more ground. The day of the tour was chilly in the 30s so we dressed warm. I’m glad we did it! John/Gator was an awesome guide full of stories and history of the city that we never would have learned on our own. He also had lots of great tips about places to check out while we’re in town. They take lots of photos which is nice, too. I’d do another tour with them for sure.
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
As an Austinite, we will definitely bring our future guests on this adventure - great mix of murals and landmarks. We had such a wonderful time!!
Fun way to drive around Austin and see the sites. We had a really fun tour guide that made sure everyone was having a good time and was trained on the bikes. He also took a lot of pictures of all of us.
