    Scenic Truckee with e-bikes
    William E.

    We were SO happy we rented bikes from Bike Truckee! There is a few options in Truckee to rent bikes and this is by far the best one! We were able to get help from the staff, Rachel and Will, they were amazing. They helped fit us for the right bike sizes, gave us a full run down on how to use the bikes, and then gave us all sorts of tips on where to ride. They even told us about a little general store along the trail we could stop at and get drinks... which we did and was awesome. We felt so taken care of by the friendly staff, and the bikes were perfect for our ride. By far one of our best highlights from our time in Tahoe. Thank you Bike Truckee team! We will be back soon!

    I visited Truckee and Lake Tahoe area in late April/early May 2023. Trails in Lake Tahoe were still very icy and covered in snow, so I thought I had a better chance in Truckee, and I totally did. I went to Bike Truckee to rent a bike, and they were super knowledgeable about what trails were safe to ride on and where is most scenic. And they gave me a physical map explaining everything. The guy I talked to (maybe he's the owner/manager?) also gave me a little bit discount instead of fully charging me the half day price when I said I will only have 3 hours before I need to head out, which was really generous. Finally, the bikes were really well-maintained, so I felt safe riding it.

    My wife and I needed to rent bikes to ride in Truckee and they these gentlemen were very kind and very knowledgeable and very helpful. I highly recommend this bicycle shop for renting or buying. They also have a very large selection of E bikes, and are very knowledgeable of all trails.

    This was truly an incredible experience and we HIGHLY recommend this company! We rented electric bikes while on a trip to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday with friends. The location is perfect as you just cross the street to hop on the path. We rented 10 bikes and were out for 3.5 hrs but could have spent several more hours out on the paths. We just brought snacks but you could plan a stop at a restaurant along the way or bring a picnic. From the reservations to making tweaks to our rentals to making signing waivers simple for a group, the whole experience was simple and the staff were very friendly and helpful! The bikes were simple to use with no previous experience, had small packs to store water or a sweatshirt. Riding along the Truckee river was beautiful! Even going up the hills was simple because of the electric assist. What an epic experience!

    Friends and I spontaneously decided to give mountain biking in the snow a shot this past weekend and, thanks to Bike Truckee, loved every second of it. We rented the fat tire eBikes and were set up with detailed directions to the suggested trail nearby (Sawtooth Trail). The eBikes were super user-friendly and we were given all the information needed for a successful ride. Two of us forgot gloves and were generously taken care of so we wouldn't have to purchase gloves. 10/10 experience, we will definitely be back!

    Fantastic service from the well masked crew at Bike Truckee. We had reservations with another area bike rental provider, but when those plans fell through, Bike Truckee saved the day for us. They also provided excellent trail guidance which provided a memorable day for our family. For you out-of-towners with no means of transporting bikes, this location is very well situated for local rides with plenty of room to leave your car parked at the shop. They really were trying to help everyone they could during our hectic pickup of the bikes...a gentleman came in with a flat, and even though they were swamped, they helped fix the flat and get another rider out on the trails. What a great local shop.

    Great fun activity for our stay at Donner Lake. My wife and I did half day rentals on ebikes. We are both 67 and in good shape but getter no up steep hills can be tough. This was our first time on ebike and Wow! We loved them. They were so easy to use, shift gears and change the assist level from eco to high. Going up steep hills was a breeze and made our ride so enjoyable. Great service and instruction and directions from the staff before we left. The Truckee River trail is paved and about a 30-40 ride from the shop. After that we tried other paved trail through the forest. Really fun but pricey $60 per bike for a half day but so much fun it was worth it. Highly recommended. We may buy ebikes back home.

    Spectacular E-Bikes, made for a spectacular ride!

    Very easy to rent a bike and they were quick to get us on our way. They are located near a great bike bath which also makes it easy.

    So they pulled one off of their sales floor next door so my family of 4 can go bike riding on the Legacy trail.

    Our group of 8 rented bikes from Truckee River Bikes for the day. Noah and Tristen were very…read morehelpful helping us get our rental taken care of. There was another gentleman that helped us each choose a bike that best fit our needs. It was a simple and quick process and we were on our way! Unfortunately, one of us had a small fall and was unable to finish the ride around the river or even ride their bike back. Noah and Tristen were very concerned and offered to help. We were all so appreciative that they showed some compassion for our situation. It just showed that they care about their customers and really want them to have the best experience. I would highly recommend this bike rental company if you would love to see the beautiful sights of the Truckee River with a personable staff.

    This bike rental spot seems like your average place in a touristy area; however, we were surprised…read moreat the lack of communication regarding expectations in order to rent an e-bike from here. We expected to ride our bikes for a mere 2 hours and looked ahead at the prices per hour, which we deemed reasonable. It's only when we come back from our 2 hour ride that we see we have collectively been charged $1,000 for a "deposit" regarding two bikes. Furthermore, this amount was never shared with us verbally or can even be found online. They then tried to charge the actual amount of the bike rentals on top of the $1,000. This is a hefty deposit for two bikes, and I've paid less to rent a boat for more than 2 hours. I don't want anyone else to be misled like I was, so I am leaving this review. I will never be back and I'll be sure to tell my family who vacations here annually, to also go elsewhere. It only gets two stars because the bikes worked for the two hours as bikes are expected to, just didn't appreciate the lack of communication and the shady business practices at play here. We will be following up with a letter to the chamber of commerce at Tahoe as practices such as these are predatorial.
