Please Note: This tour includes biking on city streets alongside vehicle traffic, including stretches with and without designated bike lanes. During the summer and on weekends, traffic can be heavier, especially along the frontage road between Shell Beach and Avila Beach. Riders should be comfortable sharing the road and making turns across traffic when needed.
Electric bikes are heavier and faster than traditional pedal bikes, so good balance and basic bike-handling skills are essential for a safe and enjoyable experience.
What To Expect
Pismo Beach
We'll cruise on our electric bikes along California's iconic coastline going from Pismo Beach to Mulligan's in Avila Beach and back. We'll ride along the Pacific Coast, taking in amazing views of the coastal bluffs and passing through the charming town of Shell Beach. Next up, we'll hit the tree-lined Bob Jones Trail, where you'll be serenaded by the babbling San Luis Obispo Creek and catch glimpses of native plants and wildlife. Trust us, the coastal scenery is some of the best in the world! As we reach the top of the hill, prepare to be wowed by a spectacular view of Port of San Luis. We'll stop at Mulligan's where you can purchase your favorite snack and beverage. Maybe even play a round of corn hole. It's a great place for amazing pictures. After our quick stop, we'll make our way back to Pismo's iconic pier for some selfies, and then back to Pedego Electric Bikes in Pismo Beach.
Dinosaur Caves Park
With breathtaking views of the coast, you’ll get to see beautiful sea birds soaring over the ocean and resting on nearby cliffs. Who knows, you might even spot a whale or dolphin swimming by! If you’re lucky enough to be on tour with us between June and November on the first Sunday of the month, you’ll get to experience the Art in the Park festival. It’s a fantastic opportunity to witness some amazing art and culture while enjoying the stunning scenery.

5.00Our family had so much fun! We enjoyed the electric bikes and the tour guide guiding us through the route to tour the coast. They were very informative on how to use the bikes and made sure the bikes all fit us well. We would highly recommend this experience!
Great Overall Experience

5.00I booked a guided tour for the afternoon. However, that day it was supposed to rain in the afternoon, so they suggested I reschedule for another time. I decided to go earlier in the day, although unfortunately the guide couldn't make that time. Long story short I got a discount, and they showed me how to use the bike, etc. It was a great little trip, and while I think a guide would have been nice, it was still a lot of fun. I managed to get back just as the rain started to come in, so it all worked out in the end. The customer service was very friendly, and the bike route was very scenic and a lot of fun.
Awesome afternoon!

5.00My wife and I did the 3 Beach e-bike tour with Pedego e-bikes. The entire experience was an 11 out of 10! Great staff, cool bikes, beautiful views! This was the first time on e-bikes for both of us and our tour guides had us riding like pros in no time! I would highly recommend this tour. Thanks Toby and Andy for a great Pismo Beach+ adventure!

5.00Perfect tour with awesome guide. My first time on an EBike. Took me about 20 min to feel totally comfortable. Rode all around and enjoyed lunch on pier in Avila. Was amazed by how much ground we could cover in a few hours. Say hi to Rowdy (the friendly shop dog)!

5.00We had such an amazing time on our e-bike tour with Josh! 🚴♀️🌊 From Pismo Beach to Avila Beach, the whole ride was beautiful and full of fun stops. We cruised along the Bob Jones Trail, took in the views at Dinosaur Park, and even stopped for food and drinks at Mulligan’s Pub and a great spot called the Secret Garden for some Woodfire pizza along the Bob Jones Trail. Josh was a fantastic guide—super personable, easygoing, and always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The tour had the perfect mix of sightseeing, adventure, and relaxation. Highly recommend this experience and especially Josh if you’re looking for a memorable way to explore the coast! 🌟

Warning not for everyone

2.00The trip ride wasn’t clearly advertised in the description. These bikes have a throttle that requires explanation, especially when stopping. I own an e-bike and haven’t had any issues with it. However, this bike and the route are not suitable for seniors or beginners. We spent half of the ride in heavy traffic near the pier. I had a hard fall due to the throttle at a stop, and my sister had three falls. Fortunately, someone on the ride was more helpful and provided us with additional information about the bike. The ride was extremely dangerous and stressful.
Dangerous for the inexperienced e bikers.

1.00Debacle. The trip is falsely advertised. Please warn folks that they need prior e bike experience and skills to handle such a heavy cumbersome bike and powerful throttle. The owners took me to a small busy and crowded parking lot to jump on the bike and twist the throttle without peddling the bike or practice balancing. I was jerked quickly forward and immediately lost control. I screamed as I felt myself about to crash and fall. The owners said many people can’t ride them. They refused to refund any of my $95.
