On vacation from the Bay Area, I rented a RadRover e-bike from Cal Coast Adventures in Santa Barbara the day before Thanksgiving 2020. It was an outstanding experience. Based on advice from extremely helpful Connor, I & my wife (on her Trek Verve+ e-bike) rode from the shop to the Cabrillo Bike Trail, to the Obern Trail, to Goleta Beach Park, then all around pandemic-deserted UCSB & Isla Vista, had excellent take-out cheeseburgers for lunch from Kyle's Isla Vista, then rode back to Cal Coast Adventures. It was a very fun & beautiful ride, made even more so by the perfect Santa Barbara fall weather. The RadRover made it much easier for a 68-year old such as me to tackle the various hills on the route and to complete the 36-mi roundtrip. As a great bonus, the RadRover’s throttle made starting from a standstill, especially on a hill, much safer for me. In fact, the experience convinced me to purchase my own e-bike — the similar RadCity e-bike from Rad Power Bikes. I highly recommend Cal Coast Adventures and Connor!

Sounds like y'all had a stellar time! I LOVE that ride all the way to UCSB and back via the Obern Trail. I use to be a regular at Kyle's when I went to school up there! I sure wish I had a rad rover while attending UCSB though. So glad you enjoyed your ride and experience with us. Reviews like this always get our spirits up on the slower days here in the shop. We hope to see y'all again soon! Take care.
