Top Jolt Cycle and Todd its owner are the best!!! Todd gave me a rental for the month and was very reasonable and accommodating to my requests the whole time, his service was always outstanding! He provided me a great bike and was always available for any questions I had. Having a bike to cruise around made my summer stay so fun as I was able to access the whole city. By the end of the month he was my friend in Ocean Beach and I will always come back to rent a bike from him whenever I am in the area. Thank you Todd!!! read more

ZERO STARS. I called ahead to ask if he had time to check a rear break issue - he said yes feel free to come by now. Upon arrival he acted like we were an extreme inconvenience. He barely looked at my bike, tinkered a bit with the handles, took my bike for a lap and then he was "too busy" to help fix (there was no one there). This entire time he was holding his breakfast in one hand and talking while chewing. Then as we were trying to get away from the bad vibes he adds in "that will be 30 dollars for labor". Extremely lame, awkward, and uncomfortable. Do not come here alone. read more

Great bike shop. Great gear. Great service. Will come back again and again! Just a mom looking to ride around San Diego with her daughter in tow - and couldn't be happier. read more

Absolutely 100% recommend Top Jolt Cycle for all your cycling needs - mountain bikes, beach cruisers, ebikes, more! Todd was an excellent guide assisting my two tweens and I in selecting bikes for our first afternoon in Ocean Beach. Top Jolt is highly recommended in the area and became a bit busy around when we stopped in, but Todd was attentive and helpful. We booked a 4-hour slot and the prices were fair. Location was perfect. The bikes were high quality and ready to roll! read more

Very disappointing experience at this bike rental shop. Do not recommend! Todd tried to charge us adult prices for the children rentals, pressured us to pay cash, and did not have the bikes advertised on his website. We had to ask him multiple times to find a bike with hand brakes for our daughter and he complained they were too far back to get. When we came to return the bikes, he was not in the shop and his work colleague would not take responsibility for checking the bikes back in. Overall very shady and sleazy and would not recommend to anyone. read more

Rented 2 E Bikes while visiting Pt. Loma. Great shop, owner (Todd) very helpful at choosing which bikes fit our purpose best & had great suggestions where to go. This was our first time & was the highlight of our trip. We'll definitely be returning. read more

It was the MOST TERRIBLE bike packing ever!!! These guys charged me $83.5 and told me to come back in 2-3 hours ...and what I've seen ..they guys just put the bike into the box without ANY protection.. and on top of that look jow the box looks outside ..‍‍‍ You guys need to change your mind about customer service and how to be in business! read more

Fast and friendly experience. They had exactly what we were looking for and multiple options to match our height differences on the bikes. Definitely a pleasant experience making for a good day of riding and fun! read more

Rented two scooters & two e-bikes to hop around the city and visit La Jolla. It was perfect, cruised along the shore and then bolted up into the hills along all the amazing bike paths. Saw so much more than traveling by Lyft and great bike paths going literally everywhere. The daily rental price was very reasonable. Pickup and drop off could have been better, long ride & lyft from the hotel. Delivery would have made it 5 stars. read more

Todd was very helpful and provided personalized service. Bikes were well maintained and perfect for a day of cycling!

We rented a couple eBikes for a day of sightseeing in San Diego. The owner was super nice, price for 24 hours was fair, and the bikes were in great shape and easy to use. He supplied us with chargers and helmets. A fun way to scoot around and much better than taking Lyft rides everywhere. Highly recommend Top Jolt Cycles for eBike rental! read more

Rented two electric bikes from this shop. Todd was very friendly and knowledgable. Helped us with selection of the bikes to fit our needs (and hight) . We rented for two days, so Tod provided us with the charge cords for our bikes, so we can store and charge them overnight at our hotel. Helmets were provided as well. We put quote a few miles on these bikes - they were very comfortable and charge lasted all day both days. Would definitely use this shop again next time we are in the area. read more

This was the first time that I rented an e-bike from Top Jolt (Todd). The bike functioned well, just as described before the rental. The cost was again, just as described before the rental. The deposit was refunded at the time that I returned the bike. From beginning to end the entire experience was enjoyable. I hope/plan to rent from Todd again. read more

Friendly service. The bike was in excellent condition and functioned well. Highly recommend!

Perfect place to rent an ebike, surfboards and more. Also regular bike repair. Todd is super knowledgeable and maked renting for 24 hrs super easy m. read more

Bought a bike from Todd this past weekend. Felt compelled to write a review today. Todd seems like a friendly guy but my buying experience was sketchy as hell. Also now that I've ridden a few times, my brakes barely work, which is so dangerous. I have to squeeze all the way down to even get the slightest halt, and even then, the bike never comes to a full halt. Forget going up or down any hills. I found him through OfferUp where he was listing bikes for sale that he imports and builds himself. Very very high demand as bikes are sold out everywhere due to the pandemic - online, in store, no matter where you look, they are either backordered until September, or upwards of $800-1000 even just for regular mountain bikes. We were referred to him by a friend and the prices were reasonable on OfferUp so we made an appointment with Todd on Saturday to look at the bikes. He said to swing by at 2pm so we did. The "store" which is a bike rental shop, is inside another shop selling Himalayan goods. You walk all the way to the back and there he is. Except he wasn't. I stood there and waited for a little bit before we texted him again through the app and waited for another 20 minutes. There was a woman who had a 1:30pm appointment with him that he missed as well. Frustrated, we all left. At around 4pm we received a message from Todd saying that he had to walk his dog. Ok for sure. Maybe don't schedule appointments with customers then? Or give them a heads-up at least? Then he asked if we could come now. We considered not going because, how unprofessional, but I really wanted to have a bicycle for the weekend. Begrudgingly we drove all the way back to OB to look at the bikes. I test rode 2 of them and ended up going with a simple black bike with 7 gears - Hybrid Bicycle "Columbia" Archer. One of the cheapest on his OfferUp listings. Before test-riding, I was more interested in the turquoise bike, but after chatting with Todd, he said that the black one was the closest thing to a mountain bike and the most sturdy of all bikes. When I asked how much it was, he said, "for you, $290." But on the OfferUp, the black bike is listed for $280. Uhhhh.... ok. We didn't realize that at the time because we had intended on buying another more expensive bike, so like a dumbass I ran across the street and withdrew the amount of cash that Todd asked for. It actually ended up being $300 cash, "with tax" I'm assuming. Even though I gave him cash and there aren't any credit card fees? I went inside the store/rental shop where Todd proceeded to try and sell me bike lights, locks, accessories, all which were marked up by a lot. There was a bike light that attaches to the handle bars that he was selling for $42 and I am pretty sure I saw it on Amazon for like $10. Then he showed me a flashing red light that I could attach to the back of my bike, which I thought was a good safety measure, so I bought it for an extra $5 from the cash I withdrew. When we went home and really looked at it, we saw that it was broken and literally taped back on (pictures attached here). Honestly it's my fault for buying a broken item. I was just moving too quickly that day (which is what happens when you waste an entire afternoon driving back and forth between 2 cities) and really regret not being more discerning. We met up with our friend who also bought a bike from Todd that weekend so we could go riding together. I asked him how much he paid for his bike, which was a white one that was actually more expensive than my black one on OfferUp. He said he was able to get it for $250 flat. Moral of the story guys - the way Todd does business is not kosher. Don't be an idiot like me, and stand up for yourself. Go ahead and bargain. read more

It was a great experience... as soon as we thought to call them! They are now ONLY mobile so don't go searching for a physical shop! Todd was extremely friendly and quick to respond and meet up at a local spot. It was a great deal and good quality bikes. Would recommend supporting this small business. read more

My person and I rented bikes from Todd at Top Jolt for a long weekend. He was able to set us up with bikes and equiptment that was perfect for our plans, riding a couple 40 mile loops around the San Diego area. We were able to pick up and drop off the bikes in Ocean Beach, it was really convenient. Be sure to contact him ahead of time so he can have your bikes ready to go. read more

Giant High Five to Todd at Top Jolt Cyclery !!! We had so much fun riding our E-bikes!! We rented 4 Mtn E-Bikes for our weekend in Idyllwild - elevation 5300 ft. Our VRBO was 2 miles out of town - with a steep steep elevation. There's no way we could have made it on our beach cruisers ! read more

Very satisfied with renting bikes with this company! Todd delivered them right to our door. He was on time and text before he came. He had bikes for me and my husband. He did see that my husband needed a taller bike. He called 10 minutes later, before we took off, and arranged to meet us with a great bike for my husband. Everything was seamless, good bikes, good service. read more

The owner Todd is very knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. He went out of his way to make sure that our e bikes were safe and just what we needed for our day trip. We highly recommend his bike shop for rentals or purchase. Karen and Keith read more

Cheap rental, good bikes, and a nice owner that helped get us set up and going. Would definitely rent there again if I had the opportunity.

Todd, is a cool cat. He helped me out and went out of his way to make sure the old Trek was running in tip-top shape. He regreased the bearings even though I didn't ask and offered great a price on some new parts. One of these days we will definitely be converting this bike to newer hardware. read more

It's 2020 and the pandemic hit. You go to Walmart, target, big 5, dicks to try and find bikes and they're SOLD OUT. Like I mean SOLD OUT. You can't even order from their websites. I slowly get discouraged and then I go on OfferUp and come across Top Jolt. I reach out and ask about the cruisers he was selling and he immediately responded and we connected. I came up on 2 beautiful cruisers and Todd the shop owner was very helpful. Get your bikes here! He also does rentals which is perfect for the summer time as they slowly start opening up beautiful SD. Thank you Todd and I'll be sending business your way! read more

We rented biked for our quick trip to Ocean Beach, and bikes were delivered within maybe a half hour of when we called! The bikes were in good shape and comfortable, exactly what we needed to get around OB but also to explore a bit. Owner was great, super nice guy and we'd rent from him again in a heartbeat next trip. Great prices, easy communication, and fast / convenient service. Thanks for making our OB trip great! read more

Bikes held up for our full day excursion from OB to La Jolla cove and back. Super friendly service, and, all around great time.

We came to Ocean Beach for a quick getaway, found this quaint local bike shop. The owner was accommodating and super friendly. He took care of us and bikes were in good condition. I definitely would recommend supporting this local business! Great value and great overall service. read more

Great customer service! There were a lot of bicycles TK choose from. Great location, close to the beach and 2.5 miles away from Liberty Market Place. read more

As the only bike rental in Ocean Beach, you don't really have a choice. And the good news is that the pricing is great, and there was a choice between a cruiser, road bike or electric bike. Helmets were available for free. And the owner is a really interesting and informative guy. What else do you want? If you want a top of the line place, or a place that looks like a top of the line place, then this isn't exactly that, but it's Ocean Beach, home of Crazy White People and the faint smell of urine everywhere, and the bikes definitely aren't in top shape, but they work fine. We biked the entire city of San Diego, well, most of it, and had no issues. Stop reading these reviews and go rent a bike already! read more

I rented an electric bike for one day, totally worth it. Todd was very nice and explained the different routes that I could take to see around.Im staying in Ocean Beach for the weekend and I wanted to make the most out of it. With the electric bike in only in charge I went all the way South to Cabrillo national park and descended to the tide pools. Then back up and rode to downtown San Diego. Biked by the airport, the harbor and through the Gas Lamp quarter and Little Italy. Stopped at the Old Town and came back to OB by the river. Total of 35 miles and I still had charge left! Provided you can peddle a bit this bike will assist you and get you further. I highly recommend renting from Todd and to experience San Diego on a bike - very bike friendly city! read more
