Electric Freedom: Pedal‑Assist E‑Bike Rental to See Austin on Two Wheels.
Glide through Austin’s neighborhoods on a pedal‑assist electric bike and cover far more ground than a standard ride. Barton Springs Bike Rental & Tours outfits riders with everything they need—helmet, u‑lock, a bike map and roadside assistance—so you can focus on the city’s pulse rather than the pedals.

Pedal‑assist speed with minimal effort
These e‑bikes provide pedal assist so riders can zip between Austin’s sights without expending the effort of a conventional bike—letting you spend energy on exploration rather than climbs.
All the basics are included
Rentals come with a helmet, u‑lock, a bike map and roadside assistance at no extra charge, simplifying logistics so you can be on the street quickly and confidently.
Walk‑in friendly and hourly options
The shop keeps a steady supply of bikes and welcomes walk‑in rentals; for hourly bookings (1–3 hours) you can call ahead to reserve or simply arrive and be fitted.

With a map in hand and roadside assistance included, the outing feels less like a rental and more like a short urban expedition—efficient, immediate and freeing.
