This tour was well worth the money! Flying past regular bikers on the hills of SF made it so worth it! We are from Florida and as flatlanders, worried about those legendary hills so were excited to find this place. It was a great way to see the beautiful city, crossing the bridge was amazing, and Sausalito is quaint and... More

We took the electric bike tour on May 8 with Christian, our guide. It was fantastic. The electric bike is great. The seats were big enough so that our butts didn't get sore, which can happen if you are not used to riding a bike. While others struggled to climb the hills, we effortlessly rode past them, using the electricity.... More

This might be the best tour we've ever done on any vacation. The staff was friendly and professional, the tour guide for our electric bikes (Michael) was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. Michael took our photos at some very scenic locations and suggested the perfect photo spots. The tour included a ride over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito, CA were... More

have always fancied biking the bridge but the hills have put us off. the bikes are great, they are quite heavy but easy to use without the power. the route takes you along the marina then to crissy field and then up to the bridge. the views from the bridge were fantastic and there were plenty of stops to get...

My sister and I did this tour on a beautiful morning in SF. These electric bikes allowed us to see things that we would not have gotten to see by car, and we got lots of information from our tour guide - Mel - along the way. Also, we stopped at every scenic spot and she was happy to take... More

These were very easy to adjust to and very fun to ride. I could have never made this ride without the power boost feature. We got to see things close up and our guide, Mel, gave us great photo ops and did a good job keeping us together and supplying us with information. My only complaint is that at 60... More

This was a great tour to see the bridge. My wife and I had a great time riding these bikes across the bridge to Sausalito. If you can ride a bike you can ride these, and when it comes to the hills of SF you will love the idea of having electrical assist! The tour starts downtown at the waterfront,... More

I was afraid of the Segways and motorbikes, but the electric bike was not scary and allowed me to get exercise while seeing the sites. It was easy and I loved it! I am in shape and would peddle the bike just like any other bike, but whenever there was a hill, which there a lot of in SF, all... More

Tour run by San Francisco Electric Tour Company on electric power assisted bikes (on flat ground you don't have to pedal at all on hills you have to assist the bike). Excellent tour through the park from Fisherman's Wharf through Ft. Mason and the Presidio, then up to and across the Golden Gate Bridge. Views are spectacular. Mel was our... More

What a ride! How many people do you know that can say they cruised the Golden Gate on an electric bike? Through the clouds, the mist, the wind and sun. Rode through the town with the provided map. Very easy. You ride along the waterfront which is beautiful. Then, you ride through the park with the smells of the eucalyptus... More
