We had such an incredible experience renting bikes here, and it was all thanks to Gus. From the…read moremoment we arrived, he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. His attention to detail, genuine kindness, and willingness to take extra time with us made us feel truly valued and cared for. Gus made the entire process smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. It's rare to come across someone who takes so much pride in their work and goes the extra mile. Because of him, this will absolutely be our go-to place moving forward. We sincerely hope management recognizes Gus for the outstanding service he provides. He made a great experience unforgettable and so much fun! We highly recommend Balboa for all beach equipment rentals.

First timer in Newport Beach, so no better way to enjoy the scenery when you're on a time crunch…read more We rode the transport ferry (5 minute ride) to this side of the island, and for some reason we chose this bike shop over all the others. Great choice! We walked in and was greeted by a cute couple. They had a loving vibe, but I'm not sure if they were actually a "couple". The male was really friendly, and gave us great recommendations on the local eateries and scenic routes to travel on the electric bikes we were renting from him. They had a good variety of other bikes as well, just in case you're not into the electric craze. This place will definitely be our go to spot when we re-visit next month for our vacay.

Showed up on the day to rent bikes and they allowed us to try a few before deciding. The bikes could be in better condition, most of the fleet were showing significant wear. One of our e-bikes had low battery charge and even though someone was able to bike out to where we were to delivery another battery, the replacement was also low and wouldn't be enough for the time we rented. We also lost time waiting for the other battery. However, kudos to the staff and owner because they made it right for us when we returned the bikes. Spot has good staff and a great location. Refreshing the bikes with newer models would bump it to 5 stars.

Another bike shop had quoted me $150 to fix them, so I was expecting to have to spend quite a bit. Then I met sweet Steven at Olic's! He took a look at my bike, quickly figured out the issue, and fixed it for me completely free of charge! I was honestly blown away by his kindness and generosity. It's so refreshing to find someone who genuinely cares about helping people rather than just making a sale. Steven was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. I will absolutely be bringing my bike back to Ollie's for any future needs and recommending them to everyone I know. Thank you, Steven, for taking such great care of me and my bike!
