Electric Bike Rentals in Santa Barbara
Taking out an electric bike rental in Santa Barbara is one of the top ways to explore our incredibly bike-friendly city. Most of the electric bikes we carry are pedal-assist as they’re the most requested but we do carry throttle e-bikes as well. We proudly hold the most electric bike rentals Santa Barbara county offers. Our ebike rental fleet consists of four different ebike brands. With hundreds of bikes in our shop our team is ready to accommodate groups of any size.
We carry the following electric bike rentals: Specialized Turbo Comos & Vado SLs, Electra Townie Go!'s, Rad Power EBikes, & Specialized Turbo Levos. The Specialized Turbo Como and TownieGo! are both pedal-assist ebikes that are great for all day riding around the city while the Rad Power ebikes sport a throttle but shorter battery life. The Specialized Turbo Levos are great for ripping up fire roads and coming down intermediate trails in the area.
Bikes come with:
Locks, Helmets, map, and baskets if available
No sand riding allowed. If you wish to ride on the sand please visit Cal Coast Adventures to book the beach electric bike tour!
Delivery Policy:
Due to the heavy weight of Rad Power e-bikes, we’re unable to offer delivery or pickup for these models.
If your order meets the $250 minimum, 1-day duration minimum, and is within a 15-mile radius, please choose either the Townie Go! or Specialized models on the second page of checkout.
Deliveries and pickups are available 10 AM–4 PM and must be requested in advance.
