Jonas, the owner, clearly makes this operation shine. Reviewers consistently praise how he takes time to get to know each group, provides thorough instructions on the e-bikes, and shares insider tips on the best photo spots and places to stop. He's gone above and beyond in memorable ways, including making a special trip to pick up a tired rider who couldn't tackle the last hill. The Gazelle e-bikes get high marks for quality and comfort, with multiple assist levels that make even steep Vermont hills manageable for riders in their 60s who haven't cycled in years. The curated routes are a standout feature. The Farm Stand tour seems especially popular, winding through beautiful rural areas with stops at local stands, King Arthur Bakery, and ice cream shops. The GPS app makes navigation easy, and routes mix paved and dirt roads with minimal traffic and courteous drivers. Groups ranging from couples to 16-person family reunions have had seamless experiences, and families with young kids successfully used the Burley trailers. The consistent enthusiasm is striking, with many riders already planning return trips or even considering buying their own e-bikes after the experience.
This event was super easy to do! Bikes are great and the app for route makes the ride a smooth outing. Most fun day of our trip! Ready to go again.
