“Super easy and fun e-bike rental in Vancouver! - We loved the freedom of having e-bikes in Vancouver! It was so easy to get around the city (many bike lanes) and allowed us to see SO much more than we ever could have on foot. The bikes were in perfect condition and easy to use. Everyone at the shop was so kind and helpful. They made sure to give us a map with bike lanes marked and a recommended path as well as recommended stops along the way. The bikes also came with locks and a little carrying pouch for any loose items, which was super helpful. We had such a great time and would definitely do it again next time we visit Vancouver. Highly recommend!!” - Reviewed on 2024-09-30
