Electric Bike Rental Frequently Asked Questions

What are electric bikes and scooters?

Electric bikes or scooters are simply equipped with a small and quiet electric motor. No fossil fuels are required and therefore are extremely quiet, clean, and green! Instead of a gas motor, electric bikes or scooters use a battery to supply power to the motor.

Do I have to wear a helmet?

Riders under the age of 18 will be required to wear a helmet. We encourage everyone to wear a helmet but you do have the option to waive this offering if you choose to. Helmet laws are not required in Arizona and we want you to be able to create your own experience.

Will I have to pedal?

Electric scooters are ride and smile. Pedaling not available. The electric bikes use two types of power assist.

1. Pedal Assist: Pedal Assist Mode is a great option for those looking to treat their electric bike as a traditional bike with a little help (or a lot) from the motor. In this mode the motor kicks in when the rider pedals. You can select different levels of power assist to allow for more or less help from the motor.
2. Throttle & Go: This mode it is not necessary for the rider to pedal. Just twist and go! We love this mode when riding in town.
   The more you pedal the further you can go on a charge. It is also worth noting that our electric bikes have gears and are easy to ride without the help of the motor. If somehow you do run out of battery, you can still get home!

Can I split the bill in a group?

Absolutely. If you are in a group, you will be able to pay separately for your rental with your own payment method.

What’s included in the price of a tour rental?

Tours and rentals come with an electric bike or scooter equipped with a fully charged battery, bell, cell phone holder, adjustable helmet for safety and we offer lightweight backpacks if needed. We provide bottled water and snack options and strive to make sure your ride will be comfortable. If you’re underdressed we’ll loan you a jacket, and if it’s sunny we’ll offer sunscreen!

Guided tours are led by a professional tour guide. If you are looking for an educational experience this tour is not for you. WE RENT FUN AND SMILES. Our guides’ are entertaining and our goal for each tour is to create an extraordinary experience that is fun, safe, and unforgettable!

What if my scooter is stolen?

You are responsible for the bike like if it was yours. We provide locks for free to all rentals and we will give you tips on how and where to lock your bike properly.
