Like many, I used to think electric bikes were… well, a bit tame. As someone who thrives on the thrill of dirt biking and off-roading, the idea of an electric bike rental didn’t exactly rev my engine. That was until a trip to Grand Lake with my wife completely changed my perspective.
Seeking a break from our usual business hustle in Estes Park, we stumbled upon a hotel offering Electric Bike Rentals. The bikes weren’t top-of-the-line, but curiosity got the better of us. Thirty minutes into our ride, and I was a convert. Cruising around town and exploring back roads became an unexpectedly fun and relaxing experience. It was a different kind of enjoyment, a slower pace that allowed us to truly soak in the scenery and each other’s company. This newfound appreciation even sparked a business idea. Initially hesitant to offer “tame” activities like scooters and ebikes alongside our exhilarating Razor and Jeep tours, I realized I was missing out. Electric bikes weren’t just for leisurely rides; they were a fantastic way to experience the outdoors in a whole new light.
One minor detail from that first rental experience stuck with me – the less-than-stylish helmets. I vowed that if I ever offered electric bike rentals, cool helmets would be a must! And when we decided to dive into the ebike business, quality was paramount. We researched extensively, testing bikes from Trek, Giant, Specialized, and more. Ultimately, we chose Aventon folding bikes for their versatility in town and light trails, and Luna X1 Enduro bikes for those seeking more adventurous downhill mountain biking experiences. You can explore our selection at Ebike Rentals. We’re even considering adding the new Husqvarna Electric mountain bikes to our fleet.
