San Francisco EBike Rental Golden Gate and GPS Routes
Overview
Start in Haight-Ashbury, one block from Golden Gate Park, and explore San Francisco at your own pace on a premium pedal-assist e-bike. Choose up to 4 hours or a full day of up to 8 hours, then select the bike and fit range for your party.
Every rental includes a MIPS-equipped helmet, U-lock and cable, phone mount, front and rear lights, basket, full charge, a quick operating walkthrough, local tips, and turn-by-turn GPS routes. Depending on time, riding ability, and pace, explore Golden Gate Park, Ocean Beach, the Presidio, Golden Gate Bridge, or Sausalito.
Original is the simple city-and-park choice; Comfort adds gears and front suspension for bridge and Sausalito routes; Performance adds smooth torque-sensing assist for longer or steeper rides. This is a self-guided rental, not a tour. Please lock up when you park. Return bikes and gear to 622 Shrader Street by the end of your 4 or 8 hours, or the shop's last return time that day if sooner. Shop hours are shorter in some seasons.
