Overview

This three-hour electric bike tour covers key spots along Santa Monica and Venice Beach, following the 26-mile bike path. The tour moves at a pace set by the small group of up to six riders, who can choose to pedal manually or use the electric assist. Riders begin by viewing the Pacific Ocean and Santa Monica Bay from Ocean View Park, then continue to the Santa Monica Pier and the Annenberg Community Beach House. Much of the ride takes place along Santa Monica State Beach. The route continues through Venice Beach and its boardwalk, where riders can see street performers and local sights. The tour passes the Venice Canals Walkway, Muscle Beach gym, Venice Skatepark, and the colorful Venice art walls. The ride also includes views of Venice Beach’s southern fishing pier and the iconic lifeguard towers seen in many films and videos. The group cycles along the shore of Santa Monica Bay, between Malibu and Palos Verdes, ending near Pacific Park, where the Ferris wheel frames a classic pier photo. Biking on the pier itself is not allowed for safety reasons. The company provides electric bicycles, helmets, and bottled water. The tour operates with a small group for a personalized feel. Participants should be comfortable riding a bike and meet the height, weight, and age requirements. The tour does not include hotel pickup or gratuities and does not run in rain.
