Our tour was extremely well organized. We arrived 15 minutes before the start time as asked. Bob (the owner) and [his assistant] Wayne already had the bikes and helmets out and ready to fit us. After a brief intro on how to use the bikes (we were both given new Magnum Metro 48V e-bikes), we each did a loop around the parking lot to get the feel of the bike. If you can ride a standard bike, you'll have no problem with the e-bike. It's really pretty straightforward. We started off slowly and and stopped after a bit to make sure we were doing OK (we were - as I said, if you can ride a bike, you can ride an e-bike). We rode mostly on trails with a few road intersections before our first stop - Maximo park. When we road, Bob took the lead and we followed. Wayne trailed to make sure everyone stayed together and there were no issues. The guides had radio helmets so were able to talk to each other. When we arrived at Maximo Park, Bob gave us the fascinating history of the area and we climbed the park tower for a great view into the bay. After our brief stay at Maximo, we continued on to St. Pete Beach and the Don Cesar hotel. The ride was gorgeous and we really got to appreciate our e-bikes when riding up the steep causeway as if it were totally flat. Even more fun (for us) was passing a biker walking his bike up the steep hill as we easily pedaled our e-bikes at 10-15 mph up the hill!!! We were given the history of the Don Cesar (again very interesting) and went inside where Bob bought us ice cream which we ate on the beach. The ride back to our starting point was as pretty as the ride out. Overall, the tour was definitely worth it. You'll get some interesting local history (if you want it), ride some gorgeous trails, and hopefully burn off almost as many calories as the ice cream you'll eat. If you can ride a regular bike on flat ground, you'll be able to take this tour with no issues. Bring a windbreaker - if you don’t need it, it can ride in your pannier. Our [March] day was quite windy and we appreciated having them. Highly recommended, as a great way to see the local scenery that you would have missed if you were in your car.

It was really special to be able to see the area this way, stopping for pictures and enjoying the breeze and sun. Much different than through a car window. Bob planned a great route -- on my own, I never would have figured out how to access all the bike paths he took us on. He set a comfortable pace and showed us the best places for photos. I had never ridden an ebike before, and generally ride for the workout anyway...but I gotta say, I now see the value of the electric assist, especially going up the bridges and at the end of a long ride. I liked that you can choose exactly how much help you want. If you're used to a regular bike, start in a low gear and add increase the gear + the assist slowly, and you'll do great.

Fun experience on electric bikes. We got to see some areas of St. Pete that you wouldn't normally get a chance to see. The bikes were tons of fun, the tour guide was friendly and informative, and we felt safe the entire time. Thanks for a great time!
