This tour was the highlight of my trip to San Francisco. I had never ridden an electric bike before and it was so easy. Our tour guide was patient, fun, knew what he was doing, put me at ease and made me feel safe. I'll do it again next time!!!!Freda J., United States, 07-2010
This was the best way to see the golden gate bridge. Going over the bridge in a car or just walking would not have been near as fun. The electric part of the bike was perfect b/c it made it alot easier to climb hills.Melissa R., United States, 07-2010
Electric Bike tour was great! Yoni our tour guide was absolutely awesome and made the tour lots of fun. Looking forward to the trip to San Francisco to rent the electric bikes for a full day on our own!!!!Jon C., United States, 07-2010
A great, fun activity that allowed us to see a great deal of San Francisco whilst also undertaking an activity. Mike was a great guide, giving just the right amount of tour information and allowing us to make some decisions. Ride across the bridge was fantastic and the ride down into Sausilito was great. Ferry ride back finished off the day. Bikes were reliable and easy to use.Lauren J., Australia, 07-2010
FUN! This was the best part of my trip! You get to go bike to Salsalito on an electric bike. Don't worry about getting tired you can zoom past other bike riders and up hills when needed! Felt like I was flying!craig d., United States, 07-2010
This was a quality and informative bike tour. The electric bikes made the tour so much fun. And our guide was very personable and flexible. He was willing to stop when we wanted pictures or had questions along the way. We had so much fun on the electric bikes we went back to the same tour company and did the segway tour the next day.Debra S., United States, 06-2010
Outstanding! Fabulous guide! Want to do these tours every vacation and every where we go!!!! We were so very pleased. LOVED IT!Melinda M., United States, 06-2010
Would have liked a little more history or tour info on Sausalito - Perhaps another ride up the hills there or something like thatRoxanne H., United States, 06-2010
Great tour. I wish there would be a wider selection of electric bike sizes. It would be nice to have at least a smaller size bike size ( for shorter people like myself under 5'4 or my friend 5'1). It will be a lot easier/safer to operate specially whenever there is a need to stop. Nonetheless, great experience.Mauricio T., United States, 05-2010
Wallid was our guide. What a great guy. He was fantastic and extremely entertaining. He knew everything about all the local history,culture and attractions and made our tour a most enjoying experience. We have already recommended him to several other people and we will continue to do so.Thanks Wallid for a great day out on the bikes.Simon G., United Kingdom, 05-2010
We thoroughly enjoyed the electric bike tour across the Golden Gate Bridge, our guide was excellent and as we were such a small party he was happy to adjust the tour to suit us. The bikes were brilliant and the tour completed exceeded our expectations.Nicola H., United Kingdom, 05-2010
What a great electric bike tour over the Golden Gate Bridge. Walid, our tour guide was super! Not only was he knowledgeable in regards to San Francisco history, but was also extremely pleasant and humorous. I agree that it felt a little like cheating (by not actually pedaling), but I was on vacation and it was really nice not to have to pedal up some pretty steep hills. I would highly recommend!janelle s., United States, 04-2010
This was a great activity. I was sorry to see it end. The guide was awesome, knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. Highly recommend this tour.Sonia R., United States, 04-2010
The best way to see the Golden Gate Bridge. A very special experience. You get the freedom and engagement of a bike, but the electric motor means that you don't kill yourself on the many steep hills.Luz E., United States, 04-2010
Knowledgeable guide with excellent sense of humor. Equipment up-to-date. Tour time extended as we were having such a fantastic time. Enjoyed this tour immensely. "Electric biking the bridge" was a highlight of our time in San Francisco. Steven D., United States, 03-2010
A Super OKLarry M., United States, 03-2010
Having this experience of riding the electric bike over the golden gate bridge, down into Sausalito is the best. It was the absolute highlight of our trip, and we were busy!Barbara G., United States, 02-2010
Great way to see parts of San Francisco and a great feeling of going straight past other cyclists when going up hill!Lucy S., United States, 02-2010
My sister was visiting from out of town so I scheduled several activities, theater, cruise, jazz concert, etc. By far, the electric bike ride over the GG Bridge was our favorite. I highly recommend this activity and will be sure to put it on my "must" list when planning things to do when visitors come to SF!Gretchen S., United States, 02-2010
They were very knowledgeable about history along the ride. They were patient and also took pictures when we wanted to stop. Never felt rushed and the entire tour was the most fun I had since I had been to St. John's. They had extra coats, gloves, hats, rain gear. No pressure to ride in rain and had exceptional customer service skills.Connie H., United States, 02-2010
This tour was absolutely amazing! Best part of our San Francisco vacation!Callie L., United States, 01-2010
Yonni was an excellent tour guide. Friendly and knowledgeable,
You will be pedaling 75 pounds of bike across the Golden Gate Bridge without being able to use the throttle, as it is not allowed. Patricia B., United States, 12-2009
We enjoyed our trip but found the winter dates the tour was available to be very limiting.Rebecca S., United States, 12-2009
The electric bikes were so fun to ride! It was a great way to see the sites of the city! I would love to do it again some day!Anisa N., United States, 12-2009
Awesome one recommendation is to also visit the San Francisco bay model in Sausalito scale sized replica of San Francisco bay about 2 acres, have about one hour and is about one mile from boat back to Fisherman's Wharf.Doug j., United States, 12-2009
The best way to go over the Golden Gate. This is a must do.Wayne C., United States, 10-2009
We had a blast!!Nancy E., United States, 10-2009
This was a great tour. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Yoni, our guide (I hope I'm spelling his name correctly was excellent. He took the time to stop at key locations and point out different facts. He made sure everyone knew exactly what we were doing and what to expect. That was the best bike tour and a great way to spend the day in San Francisco. Joann G., United States, 10-2009
David H., United States, 10-2009

An excellent tour and a great opportunity to try the A2B electric bikes.Andrew M., United Kingdom, 09-2009
Would highly recommend!MARTIN L., United Kingdom, 08-2009
The trip was enjoyable and the electric assist bicycles made it very comfortable.Bob E., United States, 08-2009
I don't like going on site seeing tours but this was the best tour I've ever experienced. The electric bike was awesome and my guide, Whaleed, was great. I've been to SF twice before but the route/tour gave me a chance to view some of the most popular sites in San Francisco that I haven't been able to see previously. I would definitely recommend this tour to others and would experience it again the next time I'm in town.Angela S., United States, 08-2009
We absolutely loved waleed! he was great in keeping the group together, even though some of us scooted off occasionally...and the tour was just more than we hoped for!Jeff B., United States, 08-2009
Tour provided a good overview of the area and was a very pleasant experience. Local guide was knowledgeable and was very engaging. Emphasis on safety was appreciated...Carroll S., United States, 07-2009
A good and exciting way to get a tour of San Francisco. Over exceeds expectations on all levels.Yasmeen F., United States, 07-2009
The electric bikes were perfect. We got some cardio but had the ease of power when needed. Our guide was terrific and offered numerous times to take pictures of us. He made the ride quite delightful with his humor, friendliness, and knowledge of the city. I loved the entire experience.

Training Session, Bike Lane Route Info and Ferry Schedule
Riding a Electric Bike is similar to riding a regular bike with a few
differences - That's why the tour time includes 15 minutes of rider
training so you can get comfortable on the bike before we head out on
the route. During the busy Summer season training time may be slightly
longer.
The training session provides first-time riders with the skills,
knowledge, and experience needed to safely operate the bike. You'll be
guided through a simulated obstacle course of cones, turns, and an
emergency stop to ensure a safe, enjoyable experience.
Our routes in San Francisco and Sausalito are mainly on designated bike
lanes. These bike lanes in some places are adjacent to city streets. In
some places the bike lane is the full width of the city street. We are
in a busy big city and will be in some high traffic areas. There a few
uphill sections and a long downhill into Sausalito. You will be
pedaling!
San Francisco has more bike lanes per square mile than any other US City. Bikes are not allowed on the sidewalk. You will have to be aware of your surroundings and traffic.
