I was 10 minutes late returning two bikes rented for an hour, and they charged me for two full hours. When I asked if I could pay for an extra half an hour or get a discount, they flatly refused. The attendant rudely suggested I take the bikes back out but insisted on charging me the full price for 2 hours $80. The customer service was very rude, and I definitely do not recommend this place. read more

Beach Front Bike - Bike Rentals Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We rented two E Bikes on June 7th and had a blast! I don't know why they have a 2.5 star rating, because they were perfect for us! The bikes were in great condition and their prices were $30 per hour vs. $55 per hour everywhere else! They are conveniently located right on the Venice Boardwalk and there were super nice people working there. I won't rent from anyone else. Be sure to ride North all the way to Santa Monica Pier! When you get back, have lunch at the Sidewalk Cafe. It's a great way to spend the day! read more

Every time I go to Venice beach I rent a bike from them They have the best service and the nicest staff Very recommended read more

With 1 person dying every 10 minutes, I found it appalling staff is not wearing mask. There is no social distancing. Bike are not sanitized between rides. Would not recommend. read more

Took advantage of me when I had a flat at the beach. Charged $20 for a "new" - not so new - tube that was flat again the next day because they failed to check if anything was stuck in the tire. Beware. read more

BEWARE: FRAUD. This place will steal your identity, trickle charge your credit card for months and never pick up their phone (and can't leave a VM because the mailbox is not set up). I bet the bike rentals is just a front for credit fraud and identity theft. Don't EVER leave your ID w them or better yet, go find a legitimate bike rental place. This place is horrible read more

This place is a scam, they never once mentioned that they were taking a security deposit out of my card! I've been trying to contact them and still no answer. I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone especially if you are on a trip in LA and have a spending cap then this cheap ass company takes money out of your card. AND READ REVIEWS BELOW!! This isn't the first time it's happened read more

Beach Front Bike - Bike Rentals Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The best costumer's service ever!! They were honest and kind. I will definitely keep going there again.

SCAMMERS! They personally told me they only needed to hold my card until I came back from riding the scooters. We literally used the 2 scooters for 1 hr and 30 mins! And payed cash up front! This is ridiculous! Not only did they charge my card 700$ but a couple minutes after they charged my card 500$ almost like they wanted to see how much they can charge my card until it declined. Thankfully my credit card company is working on reporting them and taking care of my money situation. Go somewhere else !!!! HORRIBLE COMPANY! read more

SCAM! The guy charged me $200 dollars for 2 hours on the scooter. He told me I'd pay $35 after I went back to get my money back he was rude and denied it read more

BUYER BEWARE!!! First time renter. They say you pay for all day rental but do not let you know on the contract you sign or in person "ALL DAY" is a super limited amoumt of time when they release the bike. Then they refuse to provide with a receipt when you return the rental and ask you pay double the rate in cash or they will hold your ID and won't release it. SUPER SHADY. They operate 2 locations on Venice around the corner from each other read more

Beach Front Bike - SUPER SHADY SPOT, BUYER BEWARE!! - Bike Rentals Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Amazing Amazing customer service! These are the only bike rentals in Venice that I use when I bring visiting family! They are chill, kind, and are what's good and vibrant about Venice Beach. read more

These people are scum, they rented a bike to me at 7 PM and didn't tell me anything about closing time or what time to return it at...i came back at 10 PM, no one was there so I safely brought the bike back to my place I was renting on the beach safely....and I brought it right away back in the morning at 9 AM...the guys working it charged me $120 USD cash...ok sure ripped me off there, cool that's fine. but MAN, this guy charged my credit card $10,000 a few days later after I returned back to Canada and it was so hard to even reach them over the phone to tell them what the hell!! Please cancel this, it's bull****...the damn bikes are worth $300 MAX! I couldn't f***ing believe how low these people are...and now even 2 months later after my trip, they are continuing to charge my credit card randomly for $350...I now have to cancel my credit card because this fraud company has my details and I have to call Visa to dispute it. PLEASE go somewhere else, don't get f***ed like me. read more

Gracias Ernesto the best service and really good deals ..... thank you for the great service

STAY AWAY! The owner is a crook. The service is also very bad and the prices don't match the very low quality of the equipment. We rented a Tricycle and a Hover for one hour. After 30 minutes the Hover's battery was dead and the Tricycle had a flat tire. So we were stranded in Santa Monica. I called the owner who said he would pick us up. After 4 more phone calls and 1 hour of waiting in the sun he finally arrived. He said we wouldn't have to pay for the bikes, and I helped him carry the bikes to his car. When we came back to the store I told him I wanted to see him clear the credit card, but he flatly refused. "We don't do returns", was his only argument. Now this wasn't a return, but a refund for a total failure, but he wouldn't listen. Save yourself a lot of frustration and go anywhere else than this. It doesn't even deserve the one star. read more

Kirby was quick and very nice with getting us set up for bikes. He also gave us a ton of flexibility with time (starting us 10 minutes after we left). When we got back we were 5 over our hour and he said not worry about it! Great experience! read more

Great experience on 6/24. The manager was very hospitable to our group of 4. Two of us were from Texas and he made our bike rental smooth and effortless. He even hipped us to a remix of lil' Pump's Gucci Gang song by one of his favorite artists. The bikes were in good condition and very economical. No nickel and dime-ing us, or dinging us for being 2 mins over our scheduled time to return. If we are ever back we will hit him up again! read more

If you want to ride bikes along Venice Beach I strongly recommend to rent your bike here. We have a group of 8 ppl, and the owner offer us a good group discount for the two hour rentals. I'll definitely rent with them again next time. :) read more

The bike shop had really great prices and the service was good too. The people working there were super nice and gave us a discount on top of the already low price I really recommend. read more

These people are scammers they will overcharge your card without you having acknowledgement and then not even tell you about a deposit until after you notice the extra charge they were supposed to refund me the deposit back but never did they charged my card $80 extra and then want to lie now and say because of the damage to motor-pad but before I took off in the motor pad the fender was already loose I immediately brought it back to him and he said it was fine to keep riding it so I did then when I returned it he said the deposit would go back to my card and it has not that was now weeks ago read more

I love coming to Venice and renting bikes from Ernesto. He's always very friendly and helpful! I like that they have different sized bikes to fit me and my son. Definitely recommend renting from here! read more

This is the worst bike rental place on Venice beach. The owner is rude and the prices are way too high. DO NOT RENT FROM HERE. THEY ARE AWFUL AND VERY VERY RUDE read more

We had a bucketlist experience at Venice Beach yesterday because of Kirby and Beach Front Bike! Amazing service and cheap prices...forget about looking for a Bird scooter all over town...this is the way to go! Thanks Kirby....we might drive back next Sunday! read more

Owner is a crook. He attempted to charge me and the other members of my party for 3 hours even though we rented for 2. He also increased my hourly bike rate after I returned my bike, giving me a different rate than what was stated before the rental. To top it all off, the rental is located in a dangerous area off the main street where drug addicts hang around and even enter the premises (the owner doesn't seem to mind when this happens) read more

Kirby was awesome help us out and hooking us up on what we needed. They have a variety of boards, bikes, and scooters

Friendly, super chill, and very professional is the best way to describe these guys. Rented bike for two hrs. I received the same customer service of when I left and came back from the ride. I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Was charged without making a rental. Went back the next day to ask about it. Attendant was abrasive, stated they were closed while still under business hours. Attendant made fist-punching hand gesture while stating he was a computer genius when questioned about the charge. He later justified his actions by stating that black men had threatened to beat him up while he was working. If you would prefer not to deal with this kind of person, I wouldn't advise even consider renting here. read more

After going to 3 locations this shop had my size . I'm a size 5. I was very lucky to have a new pair of roller blades to use . Their shop is conveniently located in front of the basketball courts. (It's a bit to the side of the building but you won't miss it) The guy is super friendly and welcoming ! Their bikes and other equipment looked new as well !! I recommend this place read more

Great customer service! Accommodating and quick service. Would definitely rent from them again next time I'm in Venice.

Bad experience and I would not return again. The owner quoted me for $8 an hour and I came back after 4 1/2 hours. He charged me $40 for 5 hours and didnt offer an all day price like most other bike rental shops. Usually, after 3 hours it's considered all day and you only pay $20 as a deal, but not here. He then gave me a business card and told me to come back and he would hook me up..LOL! No thanks. read more

I would not recommend this place at all, super shady and taking advantage of tourist. Got stuck paying for a "damage item" although in my pictures you can see the "damage" was there already.Take pics of any of your rentals before you take off anywhere in Venice. read more

Just rented a chopper! Soooo awesome and relaxing. The customer service there is 5-star! Highly recommended. Would totally rent there again!

Very friendly staff willing to work with you on bikes. Good prices. I would definitely recommend these guys.

Had a great experience working with Kirby at Beach Front Bike's (aka Star) and renting three electric scooters to tour Venice Beach with the teenage kids! read more

if i could give 0 stars i would. i was told $8 an hour for a rental, i was charged $10. i also didn't even use my rentals for the full hour but was charged for TWO. not one. TWO HOURS. i was completely scammed. the guy told me we started at 1:45 but wrote down 12:45. horrible place. do not recommend. they also never made the $150 "security deposit" known. if i never said anything about the charge i wouldn't have been refunded. this is an infuriating experience. read more

I rented a electric skateboard $35 for 1 hour the skateboard worked for 20 min I came back pulling the heavy skateboard over 96 degrees in the store I complained for a refund and they start being aggressive they almost pepper spray me because no refund .It's a shame that people take advantage of your money would not recommend this is a huge ripoff don't waste your money here bad equipment and terrible customer service read more

didn't catch the name of the guy who helped me, all tatted, very nice guy! helped us out and gave us a great deal on the bikes and scooters we rented. will definitely come back here when i go to venice!! read more

Awful equipment and customer service. Rented a pocket bike first thing in the morning. Bike stopped working 25 minutes into ride. They would not pickup equipment. Had to walk bike back (too heavy to carry and so low that you cant walk back like a bike) pushing off with knees very close to ground. Took 30 minutes for that alone. They so were so not helpful nor sympathetic. Ruined morning since it took up so much time and frustrating. Charged us $17.5. The person claimed he warned us the battery could run out. Not only did he not warn us and lied about it, why on earth would a company rent out equipment which wasnt working properly?!?! Save yourself potential frustration and rent the BIRD electric scooter found throughout the path. Cheaper and more reliable. read more

This was our first time riding our bikes at venice beach, we come all the time but decided to do something different this time around and we're so happy we found Beach Front Bike! The guy helping us was a sweetheart and extremely helpful! Not to mention great price too!!! 10/10 would recommend read more
