Truckee River Bikes

We (my 72 yo husband and 68 yo me) had so much fun renting comfort electric bikes here and heading out to Lake Tahoe for the day. The bikes were VERY comfortable and the dedicated paved trails were smooth and with amazing views of the river, the lake, and the amazing Lake Tahoe homes. We brought our own picnic in our backpack which we enjoyed in the forest along the west side of the Lake Tahoe trail, then we rode into Tahoe City for garlic fries and drinks at Jake’s on the Lake. Superb! The staff here at Truckee River Bikes recommended the path for us to take. I read in another review someone complaining about their credit card being charged as a security deposit; Of course this is normal! These bikes are expensive! Once you return them, the credit card fee is reversed. Great location for bike rentals.

This is a full-service shop with very knowledgeable staff. From flat tires and tune-ups, to rentals and probably even full-rebuilds, if it's a bike thing you need, they can probably handle it. When I showed up, they had a big shipment of parts, so they also have that stuff. When I rode down into Tahoe City, I met a lot of riders who rented here and were quite satisfied with those comfort Giant bikes. It's a perfect cruiser/mtb style with a downtube that makes it all easy.

Truckee River Bikes is definitely a 5-star operation! They rented me a very nice Giant e-bike and directed me to a fantastic bike path along the Truckee River. The staff was professional and friendly. They took the time to make sure I was comfortable with the bike and educated on where to ride. I will be back here again! I recommend this business without hesitation.
