Highly recommend VanEcoRide in Vancouver! I had my scooter tire fixed here about two months ago, but unfortunately, I just noticed today that the tire … More was flat. I finally brought it in, and the team here did an incredible job fixing it up perfectly.Not only did they get it rolling again quickly, but they also took the extra time to give me excellent maintenance advice on how to look after the tires and avoid flats in the future. They truly care about their customers and know exactly what they are doing. If you need any e-scooter or e-bike repairs, this is absolutely the place to go!

I recommend this shop specially for scooter concerns as mine. I booked, get qouted and fixed. I also appreciate how they want customer satisfaction, I … More sent the unit in the morning and when its done they gave me a call but I still on my work that time and ask them if its possible to pick it up through Uber and they assist me smoothly. Good job VanEcoRide will definitely choose you again next time.

We rented 2 premium e-bikes from Vanecoride and had a fantastic day. The bikes are solid, comfortable and easy to ride, with a phone holder on the handlebars, … More strong batteries and smooth electric assist that makes the hills feel like nothing. Locks and helmets were included.The staff were super friendly and helped us plan a great route.Vancouver is a dream city for cycling, especially along the water.Prices are very fair. Honestly, for bikes this good they could charge a bit more.We're really glad we skipped a group tour option. No stopping every 5 minutes for a guide who enjoys his own jokes more than you do.Just two bikes, a good route and the whole day to ourselves.Highly recommended for anyone who wants to discover the city at their own pace.

Looking for e-bike or e-scooter rentals near PARQ Casino, False Creek, or Granville Island? Check out VanEcoRide Rental & Repair Shop!We rented e-bikes … More from another shop closer to Stanley Park on our first day in Vancouver, then tried VanEcoRide on our second day — and the difference was huge.The VanEcoRide bikes were more robust, better quality, and actually cheaper. Their customer service was also on another level. They took the time to make sure everyone had the right equipment, everything fit properly, and we were comfortable before heading out.We had such a great experience that we came back the next day and rented e-scooters — and the experience was just as good.Quality e-bikes and e-scooters Very reasonable prices Excellent, personal customer service Phone holders included on the bikes and scooters Routes provided that you can follow right from your phone Conveniently located near PARQ Casino Easy nearby parking Quick access to False Creek and Granville Island routesIf you’re staying around PARQ or exploring False Creek, Granville Island, or downtown Vancouver, VanEcoRide is absolutely worth checking out.Better equipment. Better service. Better value.We’ll definitely rent from them again next time we’re in Vancouver!

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 … More 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!

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 … More 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!!

I had a great experience here! We rented two snowboard clothing sets and one helmet, and everything was in excellent condition—super clean and well maintained. … More You can really tell they take good care of their equipment.The staff were also very kind and understanding. Our return time was originally 11 AM, but they kindly allowed us an extra hour without any issues, which we really appreciated.Overall, amazing service and high quality gear. I would definitely recommend this place and will come back again!

I rented a snowboard complete set last year for a trip to Whistler and fell in love with it, so I ended up buying a 5 day epic pass this season. Thankfully … More they had a prepaid promotion for 5 rentals which worked out perfect for me! Once you set up your profile/info everything is ready to go for future rentals, super convenient. If you're thinking about going multiple times check out their IG!The staff are always nice and friendly, and they really make an effort to prioritize your safety. Very reliable team. Also it's just really great that they allow pickup the day before and return the day after, it's perfect for a day trip to Whistler. No doubt they are the best rental shop in Vancouver! And personally I just feel a bit attached since I've improved so much with the board ... hehe huge kudos

They really take the time and care to make sure you have everything you need for your trip. Will definitely be renting from here again!The jacket and pants we rented were super warm! And the board was freshly waxed! I am very impressed
