If you’re considering a tour of downtown, this is the way to go! Great guides that have fun and make sure that you do too. We stopped along the 2 hour ride and Patrick took pictures of us in front of the murals. Very informative tour about the history of Austin, but definitely not overboard. I did not feel like there would be a test at the end. I’ve gone on a tour before in a hybrid bike, you can pedal or let the electric motor take over... but this is the way to go. 6 out of 5 stars.
This experience is a blast! Where else can you lean back on your own fat boy and cruise the City without a license to ride? Granted, they top out at 20mph and your guide takes pretty good care to make sure you don't end up in crazy bad traffic.We went out on the morning trek with Justin. He did a great job teaching us the basics before we hit the road. It is important to remember this is a 'tour', not just a ride. Consequently, you make several stops during the tour to dismount, chat and take pictures. In addition, you only move as fast as the slowest rider. Unfortunately, they don't subscribe to the theory of Survival of the Fittest.Justin did a fine job explaining little factoids about the city as we tolled around. Our group was most interested in scenery and music, so those are the sites that he spent most of his time on. The only regret I have is I would have liked the option of cruising around a bit on my own at the end and just letting the bike fly down the streets. I think 20 miles per hour may be understating the performance of these beasts, but we never really had a chance to find out. More
The Biker Gang Ride tour was the first thing we did on our trip to Austin and it was the perfect way to get a feel for the city. Patrick was an amazing guide/personal photographer and really gave great recommendations of things to do and see while in Austin. I felt completely safe on the bike and would highly recommend this tour for people of all ages.
Our tour was Friday morning during SXSW week - weather was perfect... Our tour guide was Patrick, he was GREAT, friendly and informative. I learned several factoids about Austin. We will definitely do it again, but next time will try the food truck tour. Great activity for families of all ages.
Tyler was an awesome guide. He made us all feel safe and sound through his safety and test driving before we set out on the open road. This was a great way to see the city in a fun and informational way. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the Austin city area looking for a unique and fun way to see the city! Great way to make teens happy on a "tourist" trip :)
Tyler really brought the energy and excitement and turned a cold and lightly rainy day into a blast!He brought us around the sights and we had a great stop at a cafe to get some nice hot coffee and something to eat.One of the coolest stops was definitely the graffiti palace~
This tour is a fun way to see Austin. Looks intimidating to ride but it is easy after a few minutes of practice in the parking lot. Our guide Patrick was super upbeat and fun touring us through the main parts of downtown Austin. He's extremely knowledgeable too. Would ride again and would definitely recommend!
Signed up for this as a way to see Austin and do a good tour. After some patient training we took off. Tyler, our guide, was excellent, and safety was always a priority! We signed up for the food truck tour and were a bit surprised that we didn’t visit more and the one visit was optional. I think there could be more clarity in what the tour is and is not. Overall, we would highly recommend this as an option to see the city!!

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!!
Great Ride! Fantastic Gang Leader. No experience needed to ride the bikes. Very fun and informative. Would do it again!
