Bikes and Segway Tours & Rentals
A South Beach rental and tour shop on James Avenue for cruisers, e-bikes, tandems, rollerblades, Segway tours and day-trip bookings.
Geprüft Oktober 2026
Good for first-timers who want to see Ocean Drive and the Art Deco blocks on wheels without hunting for a bike. The trade-off is the booking terms: full prepayment and a cancellation policy that gets strict fast.
Picking a ride
Beach cruisers are the default here, rented by the hour or the day with a helmet included. Ocean Drive and the Art Deco streets are a short pedal from James Avenue. Electric bikes are the pick if you want to reach South Pointe without arriving drenched. Tandems are for couples who trust each other's steering. Rollerblades are meant for the oceanfront path along Lummus Park, and the shop says all skill levels are welcome. The timing trick: rent between 1 and 4 pm and you get an extra hour free. That window is also the hottest part of the day, so bring water and plan your shade stops.
Guided rides
The Segway tour leaves from the shop and runs through Ocean Drive down to South Pointe. The guided bike tour sticks to small groups with a local guide, covers Ocean Drive, the Art Deco District and boardwalk routes, and finishes back at James Avenue, bike and helmet included. The electric bike tour runs about 1.5 hours and is limited to ages 16 and up, so it's out for younger kids. Beyond the rides, the shop doubles as a booking desk for Key West day trips, Everglades airboats, Biscayne Bay cruises, parasailing and helicopter flights. Handy if you'd rather sort the whole week in one stop.
The fine print
Every reservation is paid in full upfront. Refunds shrink quickly: full money back only if you cancel 30 days ahead, 50% from 15 to 30 days, 25% from 8 to 14, and nothing inside a week. Changing your date within 8 to 30 days costs $15 per person. Tours run rain or shine, with severe weather sorted out on the day. That's a lot of commitment for a bike ride, so book once your plans are firm. The service side seems solid, though: it holds 4.9 from about 900 Google reviews, and it's open daily from 9 am to 8 pm.
