We had a very upsetting experience at Wheel Fun Rentals in Solvang. We are Sikhs and my son wears a patka, a scarf over his hair. The employee referred to his as a "hat" and told me he could not wear it under a helmet because it was "state law." I explained that it is not an and that I will make sure the helmet fit properly and was fully buckled. Instead of listening, the employee kept repeating "it's a state law." When I asked him to show me where the law says a child cannot wear a religious head covering under a helmet, he said, "we don't need to show you anything," and "we are not going to rent you a bike. A 12 years should not have to stand there witness someone treated an important part of who he is as if it was a problem. We were not asking for special treatment. We were asking to be treated with the same respect as everyone else. Using "state law" as an excuse to deny service because my son wore something he didn't understand is racist, discriminatory, and unacceptable. read more

What a fun activity for friends and family to venture into in the morning, afternoon, and evening... riding through the small and quaint city of Solvang. There were 8 of us... 4 adults and 4 young kids. My brother's kids and my kids feet couldn't reach the pedals LOL. Guess who did most of the pedalling... my brother and I LOL. It was not easy especially when we had some slight uphill. It was very fun and neat to ride through town and residential area though. I think we had 30 mins of ride time if I recall. That was plenty of time if you ask me LOL. If you have never experienced it, give it a try. Just remember to have two or three people who will actually pedal the ride. Otherwise, it will be difficult to ride through the streets and get back. Nevertheless, enjoy the ride and have fun!!! read more

Wheel Fun Rentals - Bike Rentals Near Me - Solvang, California

Matt Morgantini you're disgusting! I'm extremely disappointed and frustrated by the experience my daughter and I had at this location. My daughter is 17.5 years old, and her friend is 18 -- both attempted to rent e-bikes on multiple occasions and were denied each time for inconsistent and, frankly, discriminatory reasons. The first time, they were told they needed a valid ID to hold. Fair enough. The second time, they returned with my California Driver's License (CADL), and were still turned away. On the third attempt, I went with them myself. A younger employee stated all that was required was an ID for someone over 18, which I provided. But when the manager came over, he looked me up and down and sarcastically asked, "You're going to ride a bike?" clearly mocking my appearance and weight. When I questioned him, he shifted the reason for denial again, now saying that all riders must have a CADL and be over 17. I clarified that both riders met the age requirement, yet he still refused to allow the rental. I've rented from this location many times before I have the receipts to prove it and never encountered these "requirements" until now. It's clear to me that the manager racially profiled and discriminated against us. His attitude was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. This kind of behavior is unacceptable. I hope this issue is taken seriously and addressed accordingly. read more

We rented 6 e-bikes all day this past Saturday and it was a 5 star experience all the way. Check out was smooth, the guys who worked there were so nice and accommodating, the bikes were well-equipped and easily went 18 miles an hour. Most of us had never ridden e-bikes before and it was all so easy. It was a hot day and no one broke a sweat. We went from the shop up Alamo Pintado road to several wineries, to Los Olivos then worked our way back. We're moms in our 40s and it was absolute best way to go wine tasting. I'll never hire a car in wine country again. Thanks Brian and team! read more

Wheel Fun Rentals - Biking through Los Olivos - Bike Rentals Near Me - Solvang, California

These folks were unbelievably responsive. Matt, the fellow who was delivering my scooter, was extremely communicative, on time, professional, and courteous. They were quick to help me with anything I needed and accommodate our schedule. I highly recommend Wheel Fun Rentals and Matt! read more

Renting a double row bike is so much fun! An hour is plenty of time to get a workout in and venture all around downtown; we even went geocaching a bit! Everyone under 18 has to wear a helmet but they offer them free with rental. I highly recommend renting here, it's mostly flat but you can find some fun little bumps and get going faster than you want! Also, even when it looks so busy, bikes are coming and going frequently! read more

**DONT COME**TAKES ADVANTAGE OF TOURISTS** The manager ruined the experience and I wish I had read these reviews ahead of time warning about Matt the manager because he was rude and even aggressive at times. The attendant brought out two bikes and my sister checked before we put the kids in that these were our bikes. He said yes and showed us how to use them. We had a nice time and returned 20 mins before the time on the receipt. The attendant that gave us the bikes said we took the wrong ones and was going to charge us more. When we reminded him he was the one that gave us the bikes and confirmed with him before we got on he still blamed us and refused to return our drivers license. We requested to speak to the manager, Matt, who came out agitated and literally was inches from my brother's face telling him that it was his fault and if didn't pay he wasn't getting his license back. Based on his aggression and we didn't want to drag this on any further we paid and left. read more

Honestly this was such a workout! You pay by the hour and ride it around downtown. It was a fun way to see Solvang considering how small the city it. The person the left does all the steering and braking, while the person on the right just gets a "fake" steering wheel. read more

Fast service. Good price. Centrally located in Solvang. Bikes are in great condition!

HORIBLE COMPANY trying to scam us for damage we never made!!!!!! And their was a small bug in the helmet my child chose just disgusting!

Rental rates were reasonable and are priced by single, double, or triple surrey by the hour. Our party of 5 (three adults and two kids) rented the double and had a blast cruising through the Solvang neighborhoods. Upon rental, the associate will hand you a map describing red and green zones. Obviously, the red zones are off limits but everything else is a go. It looks easy when you see other people riding the bikes in the passing but when you're the one who is pedaling, boy -- it's a lot of work (especially when you have to ride slightly uphill). All in all, it's one of those things that you have to try while in Solvang while the weather is bright and sunny. read more

I went with my friend to rent two E-bikes. They asked for Id we provided one as one of us was paying. They said we both needed ID and my friend stated she's 17, they then provided FALSE INFORMATION saying we both had to be 18 years old to rent bikes as the sign next to us clearly stated we had to be 17 years OR OLDER. We left as they were rude and unfriendly and noticed that there was two little kids riding e-bikes clearly under the age of 13. They discriminated us and were finding any excuse to not rent bikes to us. I had been here prior and they only asked for one persons ID and didn't mention anything about age so it was shocking for them to refuse us. read more

I'm a Solvang local and I had a friend in town so we decided to rent a couple of E Bikes and cruise around the valley. We had a great time! The bikes were in good shape, the rental price was reasonable (was given a local's discount without asking!), and both the guys who waited on us were friendly (I didn't get their names). Would definitely rent from them again. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. We got placed on a triple bike with a flat tire and they tried charging us $100 for the flat. We were only on the bike for about 15 minutes TOTAL of our 1 hour time charged. Owner and workers there were trying to blame us and saying WE drove off a curb and popped it when we never approached a curb. This is completely unacceptable. I don't recommend this place for anybody in Solvang. Try another place please. read more

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely come to Solvang again to get this type of scenery and workout.

Just rent one and be on your way to explore. You don't need more than an hour on the 2-6 person bike since there's only so many roads you can bike down, but what a fun family thing to do. Even the dog came. It's good for you and the environment too and you will have plenty of social distancing. The 4 person is $40 for the hour. $10 more or less for 2 more/less bikes. read more

Had a great time with 2 adults and 4 kids. Price was reasonable and 1 hour was plenty of time. You will get a leg workout if you venture on the slopes streets. Tons of fun! read more

Highly recommend! High quality and affordable We were a big group (15 people) and we got the Ebikes. The personnel were super friendly and patiently explained to us how the Electric bikes work. The bikes themselves were awesome, the pedal assists made it really easy, we biked about 5 hours, and we are not professional bikers. . They also give helmets and the bikes come with a small bag infront of them , as well as locks. I highly recommend anyone who comes to Solvang to go biking, the scenery and the mountains are breathtaking. And definitely get ebikes from wheel fun rentals, the price is super affordable and the bikes are highly quality. I compered the price with another place, and I highly recommend wheels fun rental, super affordable and high quality and friendly staff. This is the longer review I have ever written! I think this goes to show how great they are. read more

Wheel Fun Rentals - Electric bikes, biking near Solvang - Bike Rentals Near Me - Solvang, California

Smack dab in the middle of Solvang's downtown area, Wheel Fun Rentals provides the perfect way to explore Solvang-- on a bike! We paid around $20 for a tandem bike rental (...but can you really put a price on making your significant other ride a bicycle-built-for-two around Solvang with you?) The downtown area is quite petite, so we were done riding after a half hour. Would definitely do this again--it was a lot of fun! read more

It was a week of fun trip! Our friend we were traveling with started having issues with her leg. Wheel Fun Rentals had a brochure at our rental in Solvang. Near the park and easy to access via the parking lot we found Nick, Addi and Matt tending the store in the courtyard. So cheerful, accommodating and excited for our girls get away and the exploring ahead of us, we knew we were at the right place. Almost anything on wheels was available not only for our injured friend but to anyone in any family....road bikes, electric bikes, surries, for two or for the family, wheelchairs, scooters and more. Our friend chose the wheelchair but after an afternoon and evening of moderately long distances she thought an electric scooter would be a better fit. We returned the next day to see if we could do an exchange. No problem! Again, so accommodating and helpful. In no time we were on our way. Thanks Nick, Addi and Matt for your help and understanding. read more

Very nice thing to try when you want to see it all but not willing to walk it. My family and I enjoyed it so much! This was the highlight of our trip and the customer service was great. All kids under 10 must wear a helmet that is provided by them. They have a map on the cart of how far you can go and safest route to take. We had the 6 adults and a baby and it cost $50. They keep your ID but other then that (not a problem) it was a great thing to do. We look forward to going back and do this again. read more

A magical experience in one of the most delightful and whimsical towns in all of California. We had a great time on our Surrey Bike, peddling all over the beautiful little Danish village. So many unique buildings and scenes to see. The entire process was incredibly easy. We had the pleasure of working with Michellle who was very kind, helpful and clear in her communication. An absolute must while you are in Solvang!!! read more

Very slow service! The staff isn't fast and not informative one bit. Got there at 10:10 am the place should've been open for 10'min the guy wouldn't help us until 10:50 after he finished setting up the store! And still helped other people that came after us before us. Will look for another place not going back to them! read more

We needed to rent a mobility scooter for an hour for my husband who has a disability and the guy insists on keeping the handicap placard with him. How are we supposed to park our car in a handicap spot if we give away our placard to him for one hour? Does that even make sense? He is seeing that the person is disabled and we are ready to show the placard so he can record it and rent us a bike. Very disappointing that there is absolutely no reasoning and compassion for the disabled! read more

I wouldn't even rate this place with 1 star. The guy was fixing a bike, replacing a tube and we were standing there for over 15 minutes. He didn't seem interested to service us. As soon as another guy rolled up to return his bike, the guy was so eager to stop what he was doing to tend to someone else. Never felt so demeaned. I don't recommend nor would support this place with the name Surrey Bike Rentals. Our kids were disappointed we couldn't ride. read more

Wheel Fun Rentals - Electronic Bike, excellent for getting around Solvang and beyond. - Bike Rentals Near Me - Solvang, California

The people who work here are so awesome and helpful. The rates are fair! One of the employees here recommended reserving a bike ahead of time if one plans to ride during a busy day ie a weekend.My boo and I were utterly terrible on the tandem bike and a foxy white haired gentleman was so patient with us despite us changing our minds three times. He gave us good recs on where to bike and areas to avoid (lack of scenic views, fresh pie) and was so nice to answer our banal questions despite saying the same instructions to the 20 customers before us. The bikes we got were so high quality too- good shocks and comfy seats (frankly better than our own bikes). I tried tipping the helpful employees but they would not take it. Keep in mind that these people are risking their lives to run this rental. Grateful for the staff and the fun experience they facilitated during our time in Solvang. Tips: the surrey bikes aren't allowed outside of Solvang so no riding to nearby wineries. They do attach maps on certain bikes too! They also provide bike locks which is super awesome. PLS bring enough water. I was dry heaving while biking to other wineries near los olivos. There's a "downtown" esque center in los olivos where lots of vineyards cluster together so there's a chance for wine tasting there. However, the food is super expensive and didn't sound appetizing. Just to contextualize this: $13 for street tacos. Yuppp. Well probs not much if you're a ballin bro Fun bike path itinerary suggestions from Solvang: buttonwood farm (wine tasting but no food d/t covid; can bring own food though) clairmont lavender fam ride back to Solvang In the setting of covid, it's helpful to make reservations ahead of time for wine tastings/ even bike rentals but not always necessary. read more

Really fun concept - the surreys are pretty cool, and the guys who staff it do a good job of making sure riders are staying safe. There's a handbreak and two steering wheels on the front, but only the one on the drivers side works. They have surreys that seat up to 3 (with two additional little seats on the front for little kids) for $25 an hour, and surreys that seat up to 6 (also, with the two little seats on the front for dem young ones). The bikes are really fun but pretty tiring since the wheels are so small! You can only rent by the hour (but if you're particularly persistent you can try to convince them to give you a half price for 30 minutes) which is a shame because that is wayyyyyyyyyyy too long for a tiny place like Solvang. I swear we circled every single street about three times, and then realized that we still had 20 minutes left. Very tiring on a hot day, especially if you're used to channel surfing as your primary form of exercise. read more

Rents four-wheeled pedal powered vehicles but renter beware! If you're tall like me your knees will hit the front of the bars (I'm 6 ft 2 in). We rented for an hour and returned it in 15 minutes. No refund on the remaining time so rent the least amount of time possible. The default is one hour so you have to rent for less time. Try the electric vehicles instead. read more

Silliest and most fun thing we've done in awhile. Had a blast tootling through town and exploring the side streets of Solvang.

Came in on a quiet Friday and the gentleman there was friendly. $35 for an hr seemed ok but a little high so I hesitated. He provided a better deal and sold me. Bikes were well maintained and service very professional. Very much recommend for a tour of the Village. Be seeing you. read more

First time trying a surrey...with 7 other people on it! Good times. For those that are used to flying down streets with a traditional bicycle or tandem, it is quite a different experience overall. Single gear and surreys are heavy...which equals somewhat of a workout without going fast. The braking is definitely something takes getting used to....hand brake for the driver that doesn't stop the surrey on a dime. So plan your stops and don't hit any pedestrians! First off...there is a limited section of town you can ride the surrey due to its size, maneuverability, and lack of speed. Do don't get high hopes to see every corner of Solvang with surreys. We got a "4 pedaler" surrey - with a front basket-type seat for your belongings or children (they do have child straps like grocery carts) and 2 rows of seating for up to 3 people in each row. Make sure those on the pedal WILL pedal or you'll be doing most of the quad workout. Fun experience if you've never tried one. read more
