A fleet built for easy island cruising

Choose from low-step unisex cruisers and classic Boardwalk-style single-speed bikes, step-through frames for easy mounting, electric-assist models, adult trikes, and scaled-down kids’ cruisers — options that make short excursions and errands straightforward.

THE FAMILY KIT

Child seats, trailers and kid-fit bikes

Wheelz stocks dedicated kid cruisers (16" and 20"), child seats that mount to the rear rack with a 50 lb limit, and trailers with up to a 100 lb capacity, accommodating families riding together.

THE CAPACITY

Weight limits and practical load hauling

Most adult models have a 250 lb rider limit and cargo solutions include flatbed and Nomad trailers plus a Tail Wagon for moderate loads, letting you bring beach gear or market purchases on a short rental.

The Daylight Bike Rental is set up for short, self-directed outings: reserve and pick up bikes in-store, fit riders to cruisers, specialty bikes or child equipment, then head out for a roughly four-hour window to explore island bike paths, run errands, or ride to the beach.
