I came to Austin for the weekend with my parents and my cousin, and the first thing we did was do the electric mini bike tour. Patrick and Justin were so much fun! They taught us about the major spots in the city, played fun music and took great pictures. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone with decent balance who is visiting Austin. And even if you’re a little bit scarred or unsure, they are very accommodating. For example, my mom was unable to ride her own bike, so she ended up riding with Justin and had as much fun as the rest of us.
I did one of the night tours, and it was an interesting way to see the city. I'll be honest though, the majority of the fun on the tour is riding the bikes! I enjoyed that the guides were caring and thoughtful when teaching you how to ride the bike as well as during the ride itself. As for the tour, it was a bit more difficult to view things at night - but I still got a good perspective on Austin, and I'd consider doing a similar tour in a different city the next time around.Many thanks to the guides!
It was a lot of fun! Cole was a great guide. I will do this again when family comes to visit. We learned a lot.
I'm local, so I'll be back. I took my (70something) mom on a 9 a.m. vaguely-themed YBG tour (they offer some that are focused on specific aspects of Austin -- this one was more the general one) because it was her birthday and we had guests coming in to town and she still hasn't been downtown much. I expected the usual high points, just on a bike, and that would have been cool. What I got was a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide (Patrick) who took us on a tour that was an awesome combination of the usual high points and some fascinating side trips. (Dude knows a lot about all kinds of minutae, including chicken and tattoos and local plants and Texas history -- it totally didn't surprise me that he was a teacher in a past life!) We went places that I didn't know existed and had a blast. So, two thumbs up. And I would think this tour would be fine for almost anyone -- I drove because my mom gets nervous, but we were on easily operated, well maintained bikes and took safe, medium-traffic routes, and she totally could've handled it as well. Our fellow tour takers varied from college students on Spring break to, well, my mom. So anyone would enjoy it. And it's a pretty good deal for 2ish hours of really good guidance. Do it -- you'll be glad you did. More
What a great time! Such a fun and unique way to view Austin. The weather was not the best but the rain added to our adventure. Even though we weren't able to stop at as many places Cope made the best of it. Thanks Cope! Like hope not coupe. lol
We had an amazing tour today! Tyler was a fantastic guide. We saw the city, laughed so much and enjoyed the stop at the food trucks midway. Our guide was a true city expert, and very entertaining the whole time! You have to do this if you're in town. The bikes get lots of attention - people you pass will be waving and smiling at you. Check it out!
Tour operator was awesome, made the adventure both fun and educational. The electric bikes are a blast to cruise around downtown Austin on. I would definitely go back for another ride with them.
Great way to see Austin!! We had too much fun and our tour guide, Tyler, was great!! We also really enjoyed lunch at the food truck!
We had a ball and will do it again. A super fun way to spend a hot evening in Austin, Our guides were terrific and we learned about a few cool sites in Austin we didn't know about- (we live here). Would highly recommend.The electric mini-bikes are easy!
Loved getting to see the different “touristy” spots. Our tour guide got to know everyone and was super fun and enthusiastic, which made the whole trip. Bikes were fun, and cheap for 2 people. Loved it and would recommend to any visitors to Austin!
We loved seeing the town on these electric motor bikes. thanks for a sweet ride! I dont know about the food truck one but the one with a normal tour was great!
