Discover Puerto Vallarta at Your Own Pace with an Electric Bike Rental
Imagine cruising along the scenic streets of Puerto Vallarta, feeling the breeze as you glide effortlessly on an electric off-road bike. For just $75 per group, you get up to 12 hours of freedom—starting at 8:30AM and ending at 8PM—allowing you to set your own schedule and explore at your leisure. The meeting point at Blvd. Francisco Medina Ascencio puts you conveniently close to public transit, making it easy to start your adventure without hassle.
What we really love about this experience is the flexibility it offers. Instead of being tied to a rigid itinerary, you can choose your own route or ask the staff for route suggestions. The pedal assist, with two drivetrains—electric and pedal—means you can keep your effort light but still cover significant ground, even on hilly terrain. Plus, the bikes’ ability to reach speeds up to 40 km/h when using full electric power adds a fun, exhilarating element that appeals to thrill-seekers.
A small caution: because this is a self-guided rental, you’ll need to be comfortable navigating on your own or asking for local advice. Also, weather can impact your plans, but the provider offers the possibility to reschedule or get a refund if bad weather cancels your ride.
This activity suits travelers who value independence, love exploring at their own pace, and want to see more of Puerto Vallarta than a typical guided tour allows.
