76
On this small, exclusive experience (6 riders max), guests will enjoy a super-fun musical electric bicycle tour on Coronado's most beautiful coastal bike paths, scenic photo hotspots, and areas of historical interest.
Inspired by the woody wagons of California’s surf culture, Fat Woody Beach Cruisers are artisan handcrafted e-bikes. If you’re looking for a truly unique & memorable southern California experience, take a ride on one of these incredibly unique beach cruisers!
Guests must have ‘expert proficiency’ riding skills and be 21+ years old, 16+ when accompanied by parent. Riders MUST be able to put both feet on the ground, a 29”+ inseam measured floor to crotch. Because these e-bikes weigh 90+lbs, shorter legs require riders to lean the bike to one side with all the weight on one leg, resulting in potential falls, injury and equipment damage. No exceptions to this requirement.
