The electric bikes are great! Literally, you can pedal or not. The tour guide, Barb, was attentive and had some very interesting history plus some fun places to check out during the almost three hour ride. This is a great way to see Santa Monica and Venice and have a nice bike ride all at the same time. I highly... More

We decided to celebrate our anniversary in Santa Monica at the end of last August 2011. We'd decided to book a bike tour with Pedel or Not and we were very pleased we did so. We traveled from Santa Monica to Venice comfortably in the Pedigo electric bikes. I really loved the fact that when I got tired of pedaling... More

We took the Santa Monica / Venice Beach tour on the first day of our week in Southern California. It was a great start to our week! Barb is a wonderful tour guide, and took us to some beautiful destinations on an cool, sunny day. The electric bikes were a blast, and worked great in either mode -- "Pedal or... More

This was quite unexpectedly a lot of fun. My husband and I went with out 23 and 17 year old daughters and all of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Barb was our tour guide and was fabulous: knowledgeable, easy going and fun. It's just a really pleasant way to spend and afternoon and learn a lot about Santa Monica and Venice.... More

Wow, this tour was one of the highlights of our vacation. The electric bikes are so cool. You can pedal or use the electric or both at the same time. The bikes have baskets for your coats/purse/stuff. The bottled water provided was a nice extra. Our guide Barb was friendly and knew the area. I loved riding on the beach... More

What a fabulous experience for couples, groups, friends, or even solo! You first start off with luxurious bicycles, ergonomic and very comfortable. As their name says it, either you pedal or not. Their bicycles look like regular mountain bikes but have a motor that can do all the work. So you can pedal, or use the motor or both. And... More

The tour guide, Barbra is excellent and the views along the coast are great! It was also great riding the electric bike because you could pedal when you felt energetic or not when you felt lazy! More

We took the pedal or not electric bike tour. It was great fun zipping along the beaches in our electric bikes, which were very easy to use. We saw the Santa Monica Beach and Pier, then headed to Venice beach and it's dodgey characters and finally to the Venice Canals. Our guide Barbara was great. I would highly recommend it... More

We booked this based on other reviews on TA and pleased we did. This is the only way to get around and see the sights. Okay so I did not pedal very much having too much fun zipping around without breaking into a sweat. The canals are a hidden surprise and well worth the time. I am sure many visitors... More
