  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!

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

Renting a scooter from VanEcoRide made exploring Stanley Park a blast! The staff were awesome, the scooter was in great shape, and zipping around the seawall … More was the perfect way to see all the sights. I loved being able to stop whenever I wanted and cover so much ground without getting tired. Battery life was solid, and the whole experience was just easy and fun. Definitely recommend VanEcoRide for anyone wanting a unique and efficient way to see Stanley Park!
