I biked w/ my new book, "Planet Power," to each beach on Nantucket. "Biking is a renewable resource," said Jasper Young, co-owner of Young's
Stacy C.

Best bike rental shop on Nantucket. Service is great. Bikes and styles are abundant. Check out the bike trail guides on their website. This is a 4th generation family business located in the heart of town on Broad Street. I biked the entire island and loved my bike's ruggedness. It was the ladies tall hybrid and it is good on sand, roads, brick and pebbles. I stopped at every beach. A great way to remain a sustainable guest on the island! As Jasper Young said, "Biking is a renewable resource."

There aren't enough words to describe how impressed we were of Affordable Rentals! We had…read moreoriginally booked the little electric Beemer, but when we arrived to pick it up, the gentleman behind the counter (owner/manager, not sure?) Saw the 2 men in our party and figured the car was too small and upgraded us to a Ford Escape. (We didn't even ask. He just did it). We were advised to fill the car with gas before dropping it off to avoid paying even more than the already high per gallon price on the island. However, the gas station was closed on Sunday morning, so we were OK with paying the higher fee. But when we dropped the car off, he told us not to worry as it wasn't our fault tge gas station wasn't opened. On top of that, he offered to let us keep the car a little longer because it was pouring buckets when we dropped it off. We declined because we were only 2 hours from our scheduled ferry departure. So he recommended a restaurant near the wharf where we could get a bite and wait out of the rain. Then (and this is where "above and beyond" went into outer space) as we were waiting in the terminal for the ferry, my phone rings and its Affordable Rentals asking where we were because they found a backpack in the backseat. (In our rush to drop the car off in the torrential downpour, our travel companions forgot to grab it). I have never before had such a positive experience renting a vehicle. With the limited rental opportunities on Nantucket, they could just be basic and nobody would think twice. But they are a top-notch and classy organization. If you need a vehicle, they are the place to go!

Affordable Rentals has amazing customer service. I had a great experience renting an electric BMW…read moreduring my visit to Nantucket. The car was well-maintained and fun to drive, and the team member gave us tips for what to see during our day trip. We left an ID in the car and they went above and beyond to save our vacation--we were so grateful!

More like 'Wheels of Incompetence'. Avoid like the plague...a plague of ineptitude…read more I called 'Wheels of Idiocy' in March to reserve eBikes for July 4th week. They assured me that my reservation was taken and I would have the bikes I need for our family vacation. They took my credit card and I thought I was good to go. I called again 1 month later to double confirm. They again assured me that the reservation was intact. Finally, a week before my trip, I called again to provide more details about our heights and to again confirm that they would deliver. Again, they assured me everything was good to go. Then, silence. Silence on the delivery day. Silence the day after. Silence again the following day. Didn't return my phone calls or pick up their phone for days during the height fo the season. Finally, I went down to the store to find out what's going on. "Sorry, our bad. We got busy. No more bikes." Thanks for leaving me in a jam on the busiest week of the year. Thanks for not having the courtesy to call and let me know you didn't have any bikes left. Thanks for not picking up your phone for 2 days. Thanks for not having the wherewithal to check your voicemail. Thanks for making me spend my vacation chasing after you instead of enjoying myself. Thanks for offering no help in securing another bike. Don't trust these guys with anything. Go with their direct competitor Young's across the street. They were awesome and couldn't believe what 'Wheels of Ghosting Customers' had done.

This is a FANTASTIC bike shop. It's a few doors down from the new* Nantucket Bake Shop (which we…read moreturned into first by happy accident and of course took advantage of our mistake) and the Nantucket Meat and Seafood Market -- so it's a little ways outside of town, about halfway between town and the airport. * OK, new as in it moved sometime in the past 20 years. Island time elongates. Perhaps the slightly out-of-the-way location explains why (1) prices are so reasonable; (2) there's such a great selection of bikes for rent and for sale; and (3) the owner, who was on site helping customers, and staff are so friendly and helpful. Bikes seem to be well maintained. Staff were hard at work tuning bikes on our visit. We are not "real" cyclists -- we can remain upright on two wheels and that's about it -- but we have many family members who are extremely hardcore about the sport. All our hardcore cyclists rent from Island Bike when they don't bring their own bikes across on the ferry, and stop there for supplies or parts. So glad we bought our little one a bike here rather than from the bike shop much closer to our house where the used bikes they tried to sell us were badly rusted with loose bike chains -- AND literally cost twice as much. Yeesh. As of June/July 2023, helmets are half off. Get there now, friends.

The service we received from Island Bike during our recent trip to Nantucket was top notch.

I highly recommend Island Bike for their service, bikes, price and convenience of the free delivery and pickup.

There once was a man from Nantucket…read more.. We're on our Yacht Club Cruise through Cape Cod. Our first night event for the group and folks are all telling how we need to go biking across the island. We quickly realize that our group of 21 boats and 100 club members, all taking about biking, could lead to a shortage. I pull up Yelp and look for e-bikes in Nantucket. E-Ventures USA comes up to the top of the list. I link to their website to check their inventory. I'm able to book on-line. And they're almost sold out. I grab 3 big bikes and then 3 smaller. When I go to check out I screwed up and had to start over. When I did, only 3 bikes were available. We had 6 in our party. I grabbed the 3. And wrote an email about our need for 3 more. I figured when i screwed up, I offset their inventory and the other three were still available. Sure enough when I checked in in the AM, I was put through to Tamara. First, it was 15 min before the store opened and second Tamara had already ready my email. It's August in Nantucket. The place is over flowing with tourists and locals. Tamara was super chill with it. She had already grabbed the extra 3 bikes and put them aside for us. Scott is going to bring the bikes to us. We identify that we're staying in a yacht in the marina basin and that we could meet him at the Harbor Master office. Scott arrives. He can only transport 4 at a time so he runs back to grab the others. I'm on mainland and radio to the boat to give everyone the 20 min notice. Scott arrives. He unloads the bikes himself. We offer to help but he has a system so we watch. Bikes are super clean. Batteries are fully charged. Scott runs us through the bikes then waits to make sure we all test our bikes and that everything worked right. We head out. It's about 7 miles to Sconset beach. It's an easy ride out with a rolling trail. The beach is clean amd water is flat. We eat lunch amd hit the road back. We want to make it to Cisco winery amd brew pub. Cisco is a fun enclave with a winery and a brew pub. They have food and other goodies AND a fresh bar with top shelf selections. We hustle home as we have a cocktail party and dinner and we have to return the bikes. THEN I remember Scott said he would meet us "anywhere" to pick up the bikes. I text and ask if he can meet us at our restaurant at 7:15. Scott doesn't hesitate. We arrive. He is genuinely excited for us and how much fun we had. We offer a tip and he won't accept! Even after the second attempt. If you're in Nantucket I highly recommend E-Venture USA. They have great equipment. Provide exceptional service and genuinely appreciate that we're here to have fun and explore. 5-star
