    Exceptional experience from start to finish Big Sur Adventures absolutely exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived, Ruben, Valerie, and the rest of the crew were welcoming, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered questions without rushing, and made the entire rental process seamless. Service: Ruben, Valerie, and the entire team were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. You can tell they truly care about both safety and customer experience. They made thoughtful recommendations based on our needs and ensured everything was properly fitted and ready to go. Their warmth and professionalism set the tone for the entire day. Bike quality: The electric bikes were outstanding--clean, well-maintained, powerful, and incredibly smooth to ride. The motors performed flawlessly on inclines, the brakes were responsive, and the overall build quality felt premium and reliable. These are clearly not "cheap rentals," but high-quality bikes that enhance the entire Big Sur experience. Pricing: Pricing was very fair for the quality of equipment and service provided. Given the condition of the bikes, the location, and the level of support from Ruben, Valerie, and the crew, the value was excellent. No hidden fees, no surprises--just straightforward and honest pricing. Overall experience: Riding through Big Sur on these bikes was unforgettable. Big Sur Adventures--thanks to Ruben, Valerie, and the other gentleman (didn't get his name) -made it easy, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable. I wouldn't hesitate to rent from them again and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a top-tier e-bike experience in the area. Highly recommended.

    Very friendly staff. Allowed us to try the tandem bike before renting. The bike was well maintained.

The staff says he's just not a people person. This shop won't be here for long. Update - the response sounds good but it has nothing to do with the issue.

Passed that off to the battery company that no longer sells that battery. Epicenter tells us it was our fault to let the battery go dead. Wow! You knew about the battery issues, you knew about the battery that can't be replaced any longer. Where is my notification via email, that there is an issue with that battery??? Now I have a piece of equipment that can't be used. It would cost $$ to strip the battery components. They expect me to do research on line to find a used battery or a battery repair service. All these options require almost as much $$ as the original bike.

    Bet the amount of time I've spent on a bike all rolled together adds into years worth of time…read more Grew up on them in the city, was an NYC bike messenger before the internet killed them like it killed travel agents, weekend round trips from SF to top of Tam and back again later on which was brutal but perfect. So many hours and days on bikes. And then, after moving to a place where biking wasn't all that anymore and Oakland streetscapes turned into a screen from a super Mario game I gave the last bike away and didn't look back. But a few weekends ago we were all what shall we do why not head to Monterey and rent a bike and ride on that cool trail from downtown along the dunes to who knows where. And thanks to the friendly red asterisk searching tool we picked Workhorse as the provider of our two wheeled adventure and it was an excellent choice. Besides the bicycles themselves, which were tuned with good tires and brakes and perfect for the task, the entire experience was top shelf. Clean shop, many new and used bikes that I now long for again and need to move out of super Mario land so I can ride again. Professional helpful friendly staff. Their workbench in service shop area was so clean! Good mechanics take care of their tools. Price point for four ppl for 2 and a half hours less than a hundred clams and these days that feels like a super bargain. Fun for the entire family.

    Had a day trip to Monterey and the weather was so nice we decided to find a bike rental place…read more Although this isn't primarily a bike rental place, the service was top notch, it was quick, easy and affordable! We rented 2 standard bikes for 1 hour and 20 minutes and only paid $32. From here, it is a short walk to the wharf which is where you can hop on the coastal trail ( flat). We cycled to Lover's Point and back and stopped a few times for photos and to admire the gorgeous coast. I recommend walking in the area of Aquarium due to massive lines but otherwise, you just need to enjoy the ride and be mindful of people walking the trail and other folks on bikes. If you want regular bikes, or are into fancy bikes and accessories, this is a great friendly and local business to support!

It was so easy to rent a bike on this Friday. A QR code is present at the check in area. You fill out the information and provide your credit card data. You then fill out a simple waiver before you get your bike. The staff here are so friendly and helpful. You select your helmet and the staff provides the bike based on your build. You can then get a phone holder or a saddle bag for additional storage,if needed. It's all included in the price. We chose the $55 for 4 hours of biking. (It's $10 extra per hour over the 4 hours.) We were then provided a quick tutorial of the bike process and its functions to allow for a smooth and carefree ride. It was all so easy! Off we went for nearly 4 hours of exploring the area. I highly recommend this business for your an electric bike experience.

    Bike & coffee review!!…read more Let's start with the coffee. By far the best I had my whole trip to Carmel/Monterey. Absolute perfection. We actually all got drinks from their seasonal menu. Highly recommend using the pistachio milk! Presentation was gorgeous and service was SO good. Friendliest people fr. The space is so clean and so trendy, welcoming, and smells amazing. Don't forget a pup cup for your pup! DO THE BIKE RENTALS! Absolute highlight of our trip. BUT the team at this location recommended we actually rent from their Monterey location based on what we wanted to experience (literally biking on the coast / 17 mile drive route- hello!!!). They were also able to recommend what bikes we should book, etc. Only thing that wasn't cute was the prices on the flyer at the bike shop are inaccurate. Said $50 all day ride from Monterey but in fact it was $75. They said the flyer was out of date. Regardless, Mad Dog is so fab

    Super cute spot with fun decor…read more No line to order midday on a weekday. Employees weren't the friendliest, unfortunately. We asked what flavors they offered for lattes and they just pointed to the sign on the other side of the counter... Then once our coffees were made, we asked which one is which and we were met with annoyance and additionally were told the wrong drinks so we started drinking the other person's coffee. It was a bummer to feel like a burden and not a welcomed customer. The velvet noir latte was delicious, the vanilla cardamom was just ok.
