EXCELLENT Based on 488 reviews Posted on Google Michelle Winberg We just rented two of the premium long range and LOVED using this company! The people inside the shop were extremely nice and helpful. The bikes were new and sturdy! My husband is over 300 pounds and felt totally comfortable on them! We had them for over 3 hours, using plenty of the electric features and the battery barely dropped! Will DEFINITELY do this again when going to Vancouver!Posted on Google Sissi Tang So funny tour with my best friend! Thanks Vanecoride for scooter rental!Posted on Google Krista Radford Great!!Posted on Google Aditya Pagar It was fun and the e-scooters were funPosted on Google Noorain Panjwani Absolutely the best guys to rent with. Reasonable price. And really kind! We got a rented a long range ebike. It lasted for a good 60km with a lot of juice left to go.Posted on Google Hanjin Park I visited this shop to rent a scooter because I wanted to explore Stanley Park and English Bay Beach, which were recommended by a friend while I was in Vancouver. They provide an instructional video for people who are new to riding scooters, and after I watched it, they took the time to explain how to use the scooter in detail once again. I tend to ask a lot of questions, and I had quite a few before heading out. They were extremely patient, friendly, and helpful, answering everything clearly and making sure I felt comfortable. The customer service was excellent, and I really appreciated their kindness and professionalism. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Posted on Google April Dale The e-bikes my husband and I rented here were awesome, easy to use and so much fun. This is one of best bike shops in town (I did my research) and they also had the best prices that I could see. The bike shop location was also ideal for us, close to where we were staying on Smithe which has a designated bike lane. We had such a wonderful time riding the bikes down to stanley park seawall (easy and fast to get to) and along English Bay & Sunset Beach. The guys there were so friendly and helpful, would definite recommend to check this place out!!Posted on Google Kazem Naeemy I had an amazing experience with repeating my ebike. I wanna thank to jasion for that awesome service and kindness.Posted on Google Seth Newman Super cool staff and great bikes. It was very quick and easy to rent and be on our way. We rented biked for 48 hours and the entire experience was excellent.Posted on Google Biniam Ansaw Great service + well maintained equipment Great way to see the sea side of vancover via bike or scooter
