“They have good electric bikes, smooth and easy ride specially on uphills (central park has great hills). Their bikes come with phone-holder, makes it easy to navigate. Also bike lock was handy, specially for bathroom stop. To explore whole park need about 2hrs on e-bike, it’s 6 miles & quite hilly, on foot takes about 10hrs :) Overall good & quick service at the shop, polite staff and great bike. Definitely recommend!”

“Reserved online so just had to pick up the bike. Bike was Trek, a step through which I requested. Easy access to Central Park just hang a left on broadway & stay in the bike lane until it dumps you in the park. Had to ask for a helmet & the map was not helpful but used my map app. Did the 2 hour rental & was able to ride the entire park & stop for photos & sites. Easy return, just dropped it off.”
