Electric Bicycle Tour of Santa Monica and Venice Beach
Santa Monica, United States of America
Try something new on your Los Angeles vacation! See places you can’t get to in your car or on a tour bus as you try out a unique and fun activity – riding an electric bicycle! While you cruise the canals of Venice and along Santa Monica Beach, you choose if you want to pedal traditionally or use the electric power. It’s a bike tour with a twist that will allow you to see the best of Santa Monica and Venice Beach.
"WOW!" will likely be your first word when you turn on your electric bike during this bicycle tour of Santa Monica and Venice Beach. With the flick of a switch, you can turn your colorful Pedego beach cruiser into a more relaxing mode of transportation. It’s an alternative biking experience that allows you to see the best of Los Angeles, where you’ll want to be outside, enjoying the sunshine and warm temperatures, not touring in a car or bus.
From the comfortable seat of your bike, you’ll ride along Santa Monica's world-famous beach to the Marion Davies Guesthouse, past the Santa Monica Pier and through Venice to its picturesque canals. While you soak up the sun, sand, surf and ocean breezes, you'll be accompanied by a story-telling guide full of interesting information about the local art, architecture and history of the area.
The bike allows you to choose traditional pedaling with six gears or using the electric motor power (with the flick of your wrist), which puts the power completely in your control. Or use a combination of both. All bikes are equipped with state-of-the-art disc brakes, lithium ion batteries and a 500-watt motor to ensure that you’ll keep up with the group. Riders MUST be comfortable riding a bike!

We truly enjoyed our electric bike tour along the beaches of SoCal. The tour began in Santa Monica headed north past the pier and then we turned and rose south to Venice Beach. The related movie trivia and fun facts in addition to the beautiful weather AND view made this tour a Must do/see activity!

This was a great fun thing to do with our teenage children. Barbs was an excellent leader and had lots of interesting snippets to share with us.

No less than fantastic! Barbara, our guide, has a high knowledge of the area, and all of the stories that you could expect on a trip like this._br/_ We truly enjoyed the trip!

Our guide, Barbara, was great. Very patient with us, especially my 14 year old, in learning to use electrical part of bikes. It was a very nice ride through the beaches, with stops at pier, skate park, Venice Canals. My teenagers ages, 14-18, loved it.
Review by: Robin W, March 2017
Fantastic tour. Barb was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. Not to mention accommodating. Our daughter was not comfortable riding on the road, and changes were made to the original route. What an experience to see Santa Monica and Venice, from the perspective of a local guide.

The electric bikes are fun, but the tour was slow paced for my tastes.

Review by: Tripadvisor, August 2016
Very friendly staff, bikes worked as expected and it was a lovely afternoon.
Review by: Lisa G, July 2016
This tour was the highlight of our trip to Venice! Barb, our tour guide, was friendly and knowledgable. It was great to bike and get some exercise, while having the option to use the motor when needed especially near canals. We all want electric bikes now!
Review by: Kimberly G, June 2016
This is my second time on the tour and won't be my last. It's a great way to see Venice and Santa Monica quickly when I have guests in town and with plenty of time to stop and look around to see what you want to do next. Molly is a great guide and have enjoyed doing both tours with her. I love family owned businesses and try to support them whenever we can.
Review by: lou, April 2016
Loved the tour with Barbara. She made it a great day with lots of interesting stories and photos of us with the muscle men.
Review by: Lorraine611, April 2016
Great tour, really easy, relaxing and educational tour. Our guide was really friendly and accommodating. She took some wonderful photographs and was very informative. Truely great way to experience Santa Monica.
Review by: Ronnie C, April 2016
This was a wonderful tour! Hadn't ridden a bike in 35 years and was able to work that out before going on the tour. Saw some great sights and found out information that I never knew about Santa Monica and Venice, even though I am a Los Angeles native. It was a gorgeous day and Barbara was a wonderful tour guide.
Review by: Deng P, March 2016
it was really fun
Review by: Patricia S, February 2016
This was a lot of fun! I highly recommend it!
Review by: Rachael B, November 2015
This tour is so much fun, you don't need to be fit to do this, you can pedal if you want, but its more fun if you don't. If its hot, make sure you take sun lotion, the breeze from going fast can mask how hot it actually is. I would definitely recommend this, I would love to do it again!
Review by: Kay T, October 2015
This a great addition to a trip to Santa Monica. Steven, our guide, has a historical knowledge of SM and Venice which added to the fun and exploration of the area. The bikes are easy to ride and one can always use the electric option. Overall, a very fun event with a pro!
Review by: Kimberly C, October 2015
Barb was a wonderful tour guide. Lots of stories. My cousin and I had such a wonderful time. Thank you so much for a great day!
Review by: PIERRE D, September 2015
Don't miss this tour! One of my favorite time during my vacation!
Review by: Kurt R, August 2015
LOVED it!!! The tour guide was so knowledgeable and fun! We've been recommending this tour to all our friends!
Review by: Kim, July 2015
This was an amazing and really fun way to see Santa Monica and Venice Beach. The tour guide was great and the electric bikes are easy and a BLAST to ride! Don't hesitate to give it a try, I will definitely do this again if I return to the LA area. I loved it so much I am actually looking to buy my own Pedego bike. I also plan to seek out tours like this in other cities I vacation in. Fun, fun, fun!
Review by: Jamey W, June 2015
We spent 4 days in LA with our granddaughter and the bike ride on the beach was by far the most fun. A great tour guide, fresh air, and invigorating exercise--who could ask for anything more. This is something we will definitely put on our list to do again.
Review by: Samantha M, June 2015
This was lots of fun
Review by: Erika R, June 2015
This is a great tour to take if you want to see multiple landmarks without giving up precious hours or days. Our tour guide, Barb, was very knowledgeable on the area and was very friendly. She was willing to take time to explain all the different locales and was also willing to take personal pictures for you. The bikes were easy to use and amateur-friendly as well. The workers gave us a lesson before we were let loose on the tour. This is an easy tour since the ride is mainly on cement and you don't have to pedal if you don't want to. There are a few busy streets that you have to cross and you do have to share the road with other cyclists and peds at times but just follow the rules of the road and you're fine. The tour group tends to be small ours was 2 which is convenient if you don't want to get lost in a crowd. I would recommend the morning tour since the areas kept getting busier as the day went on. Take a jacket with you because the ocean breeze can be chilly. Also the bike had convenient saddle bags to store your personal items. The tour length was estimated to be 2-3 hours, but I'd recommend allotting around 3.5 hours in case.

This tour was amazing!
Review by: Sandra B, April 2015
It was a great way to be in the middle of the beach scene. The bikes were very nice and easy to ride. I thought there was too stopping to take pictures of us on our bikes. Most people may not mind that though. Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. If you're not staying near Santa Monica, I wouldn't recommend it. It took me 2 hours by bus to get there from Hollywood and then 2hours and 15 minutes to get back. A taxi would have been very costly so I chose the bus.
Review by: marla d, April 2015
The tour was awesome. The bikes were great allowing my daughter to cruise and my son to pedal. The route was amazing seeing the scenic Santa monica and the chaos that is Venice beach. We loved every second of it!!
Review by: Courtney P, March 2015
Amazing! Absolutely loved the tour and would reccomend this to anyone!! The guides were great and personable! Felt safe at all times! Beautiful tour of the areas! Thumbs up!
Review by: john m, March 2015
fun tour, easy ride, I hardly pedaled at all, Barb. our guide, was a lot of fun and full of interesting facts and trivia. We would do it again and will recommend to our friends. Thanks again Barb
Review by: Frank S, March 2015
Had a great trip seeing Santa Monica and Venice from the view of the electric bike. It was a lot of fun to do something different and a great way to cover a lot of ground first hand. Very happy with the service and tour. Would 'definitely' do again when in the area.
Review by: David A, March 2015
Having a electrical motor on a bike is very convenient and fun. Tour guide was very informative about Venice and its history. Kinda of wish we could have just gone on our own path instead of following tour guide the whole time, although tour guide did allow us to stop at a couple spots upon request.

Review by: Janet M, December 2014
Great fun! These bikes are awesome. Stephen was very patient and we had a great time on Santa Monica Pier.
Review by: Glenn O, November 2014
We took this tour in Mid-September 2014. This was the highlight of our Los Angeles trip. Steve took my wife and I out on a 3 hour sunset bike ride. We had such a wonderful time. It is definitely a MUST DO tour. Afterwards he sent us photos of our tour which was a really nice touch. We can't recommend this enough.
Review by: Nicole p, October 2014
