Yes and No. The Pedal Pubs are equipped with electric pedal assists that kick in when you are pedaling.

Each Pedal Pub can accommodate 15 passengers. There are 5 pedaling seats on each side and one non-pedaling seat over each rear wheel. There is also a bench in the back that seats three people. For larger groups, we suggest the following options: (1) Reserve two or more private party bikes. (2) Reserve one private party bike for 15 and purchase additional seats on a Public Tour. (3) Split your group in half and purchase seats for everyone on two Public Tours. In all instances, the bikes will remain together. Please note that larger groups requiring the use of more than one bike, in any way, are subject to a 20% prepaid driver gratuity. Please contact us for assistance.

Private tours are great for groups of 5 or more that prefer to have the Pedal Pub to themselves. Public tours are great for smaller groups or those that just want to join in with another group.

A minimum of 4 people are required to operate the Pedal Pub. If a tour does not meet the minimum, you will be contacted to reschedule or receive a refund.

There are several ways to pay for your tour. You can pay in full with a credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay at the time of reservation, or you can reserve with a deposit (the balance will be due 7 days prior to the tour).

As with any activity, there is risk involved, so passengers ride at their own risk. Every rider is required to complete and sign our liability waiver before the tour start.

The driver. If you fail to comply with our code of conduct or you act in a dangerous manner, you’ll be removed from the tour.

We run rain or shine – hot or cold; however, if severe weather becomes a factor, we will contact you to cancel or reschedule. Please plan and dress appropriately for predicted weather conditions. We recommend you bring plenty of water to stay hydrated as this is an outdoor activity.

If for some reason you really need to cancel (we can’t imagine why!), the renter will receive a credit toward a future tour or a full refund as long as the cancellation is made at least 7 days prior to the scheduled tour date. Cancellations made within the week of the tour will not receive a refund or a reschedule credit unless we are able to rebook your tour time. Cancellations made within 24 hours will not receive a refund or credit and renters will be responsible for the full cost of the tour.
