Reviews from Our riders
- What a great experience! Highly recommend renting e-bikes through Vista Trail Bikes. Not only is the bike path right next to the shop, staff are knowledgeable and friendly, making sure we were well equipped for our adventure to Sand Harbor. The views from the bike path were unbelievable?something you won?t see from a car. Be sure to pack a picnic and relax in Sand Harbor. Vista Trail Bikes made this trip of a lifetime a breeze!Jessica4/17/2021
- The reservation process was easy. The staff was super helpful and the bikes were very good quality. The bike trails are really nicely paved along Lakeshore drive and what can you say about the scenery? It's beautiful.Jack8/13/2021
- This was one of me and my wife?s favorite activities in Lake Tahoe. We rent the E bikes which were perfect, we could pedal when we wanted then we kicked in the throttle up the hills. Beautiful sites and really responsibly priced! Would 10/10 recommend.Jon4/10/2021
