Although I am from Austin and all of the spots we stopped out on our tour were familiar to me I still learned some interesting stuff. That's not why I'm giving this review. Riding these "bikes" were a complete blast and the dudes doing the tour were super friendly and know what they are doing! I'll be trying to convince my local friends that we need to do this some time!
My husband and I had an amazing time riding with Patrick. Good vibes!! The bikes are really safe and the city is perfect for riding.
I had an afternoon to kill in Austin so I searched for “Tours of Austin” and stumbled upon this group. Let me start by saying I’m 71, with zero experience on any similar vehicle other than a bicycle, and was decades older than everyone else in the group. I would have preferred that the short training period was a bit longer, but nonetheless out we went. After a few minutes we all felt comfortable and man, it was fun! As the two hour time frame was nearing it seems like all of us would have happily stayed on for another hour. To be honest, it wasn’t much of a sightseeing tour since the leader isn’t really communicating with us as we ride around, but who cares? This was just pure fun. I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique experience. More
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.
First time seeing Austin and I thought it be a fun and unique was to do it. I was very happy I did it this way too. Rooster my tour guide showed us all the gems of the city, well known and some really cool lesser known ones. I did the lunch tour and I got some really good local favorite too.
We came to town on business. We were able to escape and ride the tour. Our guide Rooster (Patrick) was incredible! It was safe, fun, and you’re able to learn a lot about the city. It is a beautiful place and the bike allows you to get around easily and experience many great sights.
Fantastic tour with Pat and Justin. Got to see a ton of the city while having fun and learning a lot. I would do this tour if you are in Austin!
This a MUST tour in Austin! They have different tours of Downtown and we choose the Food Truck tour. There are so many food trucks for all types cuisines. You learn a little of the history of Austin, eat great food and ride a bike. The staff is super cool and they take great pictures for free! They welcomed us with plenty of water bottles, bandanas for some coolness and some gloves. As for Cope, he is fun and knows all the spots to have fun. I will definitely ride again.
This is hands down the best tour to take when visiting Austin! We had so much fun! It was like getting your first electric car toy when you were a kid at Christmas (Mine was a red Jeep) and now as an adult I got the same feeling with this fat tire electric bike! It was super easy to ride. We took the morning tour which started at 9 AM. Our tour guides Tyler and Cope were amazing! They showed us must see places in Austin and were really knowledgeable about the city. On our tour we saw The capital from afar, drove by the governors house, stopped at graffiti hills, showed us cool buildings and architecture downtown and some awesome art work and sculptures. Most importantly they did a great job keeping everyone safe and together. It’s not easy leading a pack of newbie electric bike riders around the streets of Austin Tx but they made it seem effortless. I highly recommend this and I plan to do this again every time I get near Austin! I really hope this business will open locations in other cities because I would go to them all!! Don’t forget to wear sunblock and sunglasses! And tennis shoes would probably be the best option for this activity.
This tour was so much fun. We got some great pictures at the murals. Very safe and plenty of hands on instruction before hitting the road. We had Patrick as a tour guide and really enjoyed his reggae music. People always smile as you pass by. Just do it! You will be so glad you did!
My son and I rode the electric bike Austin tour yesterday. Patrick was knowledgeable and friendly and we got to see a lot of Austin. It’s a lot of fun for 2 hours. I’d give it 5 stars without the accident.Be careful though, these bikes can slip out from under you on loose gravel. This happened to me after visiting graffiti park. Heading down a steep hill, my bike slid out on some gravel and down I went. My knee is hurt and I have some pretty severe scrapes. It would have been great for us to go single file down the hill, but that wasn’t the guidance from our guide. Your biker gang should really take that part of the tour out of their route. It didn’t appear that Patrick had a first aid kit on him for such occurrences. I was offered two moist towelettes and band aids to hold me over until we got back to their location 10 mins away.I suggest you be very careful and consider the insurance and keep to the middle of the lanes away from debris on the roads. Fun time, but the bikes are heavy and can slip out on you on loose gravel. More
