Highly recommend Bam's bikes - friendly and efficient service, brilliant, clean and quality electric Volt bikes, with basket (large enough to take a medium sized rucksack) at a very reasonable price. Will definitely use when next we visit Sark. Conveniently located at the top of Harbour Hill too.

Fabulous day with the hired cycles on Sark. Exceptional staff, took you through the functions on the cycle. They have a wide variety of sizes including ones for those of us who are short in stature! I am very short at 5'1" but managed very well 😁 I highly recommend this to get you round the island particularly if you are only there for a day. (I can't walk far with mobility issues.) Its the cheapest hire we have found and the best cycles we have ridden.You can really get in the nooks and crannies of the island with no cars but be mindful of pedestrians and remember we all share the space. All in all a great day out we enjoyed it very much 😁😁👍🏻🚴🏻♀️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ five stars from us!

Really easy to book online in advance. The pick up was really quick and simple and you see the Bam cabin right there as you go up the Harbour hill. I wasted no time collecting my sturdy bike for the day on Sark. Good brakes, easy gear change, built in lock (really good for hopping on and off as you travel around) comfy saddle on the bumpy tracks, fast and safe. The bikes are numbered as your key ring so easy to locate your bike in a sea of other identical ones. The guys at the cabin are really friendly and helpful. It was a brilliant way to see so much of the island in just a few hours.
Some people didn’t book in advance and couldn’t get an electric bike for the day so get online before you go and pick up a Bam VOLT bike.

From the booking process untul the return of our Ebikes the support was highly professional and very kind as well. Questions were quickly answered by mail, the tipps from Bam before cycling of were really good (worth to follow, you see lovely places!) and Stephen explained everything perfect for us.
Having a bike in Sark was a great idea, we saw all we wanted and even more. The bikes are in excellent condition and the wheels on them for the nature streets really well chosen - no moment of insecurity the whole day (and I am very aware of that as I once had an accident on such a nature street while cycling).
I highly recommend everyone Bam's bikes.

Absolutely excellent experience from start to finish, very easy to book, and you do need to book in advance. The young couple that run Bam's bikes are fantastic, and very very helpful, we couldn't have asked for a better experience when booking transport for getting around Sark, nothing was too much trouble for them and they were there for any problems that you might have. Having never ridden an electric bike before we weren't sure what to expect, but the bikes were very easy to ride and control and for getting around Sark it was absolutely ideal. There is no way I would have been able to do it on an ordinary bike. The lock that is built into the bike is so easy to use and it also means you don't need to carry a separate padlock around with you. The basket on the back was very useful and they even provide you with a bungee clip to keep your bags in place, they have thought of everything. We are really pleased that we were able to support this new, local business and would highly recommend them to other when travelling to Sark.

We hired four electric bikes from Bams bikes, the booking on line was so straight forward as was the return of the deposit, immediately back to our card. The service was excellent and friendly and the bikes were amazing, so light and really comfortable to ride complete with basket and helmuts. Would really recommend an electric bike on Sark it made exploring so much fun. Wishing them all the best.

Fantastic service, would highly recommend. From booking process to pick up and drop off, very professional and easy to deal with. Enquiry was dealt with a very fast response time, confirmation sent immediately.
On pick up the office is very easy to find, very welcoming guys at the desk and went through the bikes with us and how to use them.
Bikes are in excellent condition and great way to see the island.
My only downside is as a group Bam Bikes didn't have availability for all the group and we had to spilt and use a second bike rental place. If you have a choice this one is the best to use on the island, we had a few issues with another place.
Well done Bam Bikes and wish you every success in the future. Thanks again

We booked bikes online with Bam and arrived in August at the shop to hire them. The staff where brilliant showing us straight to our bikes how to use them, baskets supplied with a bungie cord so you could strap bags in and the bikes where absolutely brilliant. We had a lovely time on Sark going round on the bikes and never would have seen as much without electric bikes. If we visit Sark again we will certainly hire bikes from Bam. Thank you.

The best day out in our whole Channel Island holiday. The bikes were nearly new, spotless, meticulously maintained, and enabled us, over the course of the day, to explore every single corner of Sark. A brilliant, fun day. Put it at the top of your list! (I am 78, my husband is 83!)

When we hired these bikes we had never ridden an electric bike before so we were a little nervous. We were met by a lovely couple who explained everything very clearly and we felt very reassured that if we had any problems we could call and they would be with us instantly. The bikes are perfect foe exploring Sark and especially little sark as we are not that fit and normal bikes haven't got us to little Sark in the ten years that we have been visiting! The bikes have 3 settings and also a booster which we loved as when crossing over to little Sark you have to push the bikes but the booster does all the work. If you are visiting Sark for the day these bikes will take you everywhere in no time and if you are lucky to stay overnight they have fantastic lights. The only problem is....we now have to buy some for home as they were so good
