Biking back is quite hilly so think twice ;) You have the bike the whole day so you can drive around if you like. Bike was ok, could be a bit more maintenanced. Because of the hills maybe the e-bike is worth it.”

“We had such a good time doing this! We had the bikes all day long and returned them at the end of the day with half of the battery still left. We traveled all over the city (approximately 30 miles total). We rode them like regular bikes, used the battery sparingly, mostly to assist in climbing the hills. It was so cool to see the city and the scenery from the bike. It was a totally different experience than seeing the city from a car. Best part of all was eating a hot fudge sundae at Ghirardelli guilt free after a day of bike riding! I would recommend this to…”
