All riders, not just the primary card holder, MUST present a valid ID and sign our liability waiver. No exceptions.

Closed toe shoes are suggested. We offer gloves. Our water bottle holders make great places for keys or phones if not being used for drinks.

We do not offer the ability to reserve less than full days. While we tend to rent out all of our bikes daily, if we have any that have not been rented by 1pm we offer a special rate of $50. Call/text/chat us to get your discount code so you can enjoy an afternoon ride on a same day rental!

What should I wear?
While it may be a beautiful day, at up to 20mph zooming along the beach with a potential headwind we recommend dressing in layers. Pants are suggested unless it's a very nice day for the best enjoyable experience. Closed toe shoes are suggested. We offer gloves. Our water bottle holders make great places for keys or phones if not being used for drinks.
Can I ride in the water?
NO!!!! What's wrong with you? Didn't anyone tell you that water and electricity are a bad mix? Not only that, but the squishy wet sand is not safe or fun to ride on. Stick to the hard packed sand between the soft sand and the wet sand. If water is kicking up, you are too close. If you want to play in the water get a surf board.

Yes, we have helmets and we want you to wear it while on our ebikes at all times. We also offer gloves if it's a little chilly or you just want to protect your hands.
Do your bikes have baskets?
Many of our bikes have a small basket for your items up to 35lbs. All bikes have a drink holder which functions as a small bag for your keys or other items also. It is prohibited to have an additional rider in the basket. If seen the bike will be confiscated immediately.
