I've never ridden a mini bike or scooter so was a bit nervous about this tour but Patrick makes sure everyone practiced in the lot first and felt comfortable. You quickly get used to it. The tour was super fun. Saw some great murals, learned some history, stopped for some awesome donuts at Voodoo donuts, and received good tips on where to go after to explore more food, drinks and sights. Patrick is fun and engaging, he made sure everyone felt welcomed and included. I can't wait to go again!
We have never been to Austin and ran across this fat tire electric bike tour online. We do a tour every vacation we go on. This was so much fun for the whole family. The guys really went above and beyond what you pay for. Perfect way to see Austin!
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

Tyler was great. We enjoyed the bikes and the tour of Austin. It was the highlight of our vacation!!!
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

Our totally uncool, non-biking group of 50 year old guys had a reunion weekend in Austin. This tour was definitely a highlight of the trip. Started promptly and was all that it promised. Our group captain and guide, Tyler, was informative, funny and engaging. Even the least-balanced rider had a blast! A must-do if you're looking for an outdoor activity to see and get the feel of this amazing city.
Our guide, Justin, was super friendly and made the tour lots of fun. The bikes are a great way to see things you wouldn’t normally get a chance to experience.
