-          Bikes MUST be picked up from 9am – 12pm. Return is anytime before 6pm. We are closed Tues & Weds.

Why electric bikes vs. regular bikes?

We see regular bike riders all the time – you know, the ones sitting under the shade on the side of the road trying to catch their breath or trying to seek salvation from the heat and from long periods of bike riding. For people who are VERY familiar with Napa Valley afternoon winds, our bike riders tell me that the motor “saves” them and they get to see sooooo many different things in a shorter time period by going a little bit faster with more strength! Our bikes can actually go up Atlas Peak and Mount Veeder. Trust me, I’ve done it before (and even rode with “real” cyclists for a few miles).

It’s VERY rare that we get a complaint on our bikes and our service, but yet we hear horror stories from our partner wineries about “bike renters being ‘too hot’ on a regular bike and are too bitter to enjoy their visit.” Last week, I heard about a woman who demanded someone from “X Bike Company” to pick her up immediately because she was too exhausted and could not pedal anymore to return the bike. Don’t let this happen to you!

Check out our reviews on Yelp – we are currently at 27 reviews at an average of 5-stars! Woohoo!

We are also listed as “9 New Reasons To Love Napa Valley” for 2011.  We could possibly be dubbed as “the best time you’ll ever have on a bike!” So what are you waiting for? Get out of your car and onto these amazing bikes! Woooooooohooooooooo!

I’m looking forward to seeing you this year in Napa Valley!

Are you thinking of biking in this lovely wine valley? Here is something that most people do not consider and that is…

headwind.

It usually occurs quite often in the afternoons around 3-5pm more or less and it’s completely unpredictable. Today the winds were at 23mph. The trees start shaking and leaves tend to swirl around in the parking lots. The dust starts to swirl in the vineyards so don’t forget to bring your sunglasses for your bike ride. On the way home from work on Hwy 29 going South, my little Nissan Cube tends to sway. A few days ago, someone almost hit me as his car rolled into my lane.

Most of my bike riders tell me that our electric bikes “saves” them against the wind on their way back to the finish point. It also helps with climbing the hills of Napa! Woot! Woot!

Last weekend I saw a couple off the Silverado Trail with “regular” bikes. I could tell she was on vacation because her bicycle was a rental. Well guess what she was doing? She was WALKING her bike and I’m sure little did she know that she was about to go up a hill. I could tell she was exhausted too. Poor thing!

Some people may balk at electric bikes, but don’t knock it until you’ve tried it! We’ve even had a hotel guest INSISTING another guest that they do not want to ride a regular bike on their vacation. She yapped, “If there are electric bikes around then TAKE THEM… NEVER do a long tour on regular bikes! I will NEVER do a bike tour on vacation ever again unless it was with an electric bike!”

(For the record, she was never a client of ours – she was talking about her bike tour in Washington. She claimed it almost ruined her vacation from exerting too much energy).

We weren’t listed as 9 New Reasons to Love Napa Valley for nothing ya know!

This awesome pair loved their ebike tour! They spent the entire day on the egreenery bikes and Joe is reeeeeaallllly interested in purchasing one now! He even sent me a fantastic email stating how amazing the bikes were and Jane told me that it was the most fun they had on their 4-day Napa vacation! We’re glad we can assist (pedal-assist that is!).

I just booked a party of 4 for later this month for guests (a beauty queen) staying at The Napa Valley Marriott and Spa. It turns out she has represented a southwest state! She’s a complete stunner! I can’t wait to meet her. I hope she’ll let me take pictures and post them on this blog. Stay tuned!

In other news, it turns out that next weekend, Napa will be packed due to NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at Infineon Raceway so it should be a very packed Napa Valley on top of the GayPride Festivities! Make sure you reserve your electric bike before they’re all gone! Remember, you don’t have to be a guest at the NV Marriott to rent our bikes. Everyone is always welcomed here!
