There’s a distinct pleasure in letting an electric motor shoulder the climbs while you steer — a short, liberating way to relearn a familiar coastline or pick apart a new neighborhood. The Cyclist Bike Shop’s Two Day Rental puts battery-assisted bikes in your hands for 48 hours so you can sample the ease of assisted riding and map your own route through Costa Mesa’s streets and waterfront.

THE RIDE

Battery-assisted cruising

The core appeal is the E-bike’s battery-powered assistance — pedal-mounted power that smooths hills and broadens how much of Costa Mesa you can cover in a weekend.

THE FREEDOM

Explore on your timetable

A 48-hour rental gives you the freedom to set your own pace: slow morning rides, an afternoon loop, or a sunset run — all without a guided schedule.

THE BASICS

Essential add-ons and safety

Simple extras — a helmet or a bike lock — are available to round out the rental and keep your brief e-bike experiment safe and practical.

What the day feels like

What the two-day rental feels like

You collect the bike at the appointed pick-up time, take a quick orientation, then have 48 hours to ride as you please. The electric assist turns mundane errands into an easy spin and opens longer loops without exhausting effort — an invitation to fall in love with biking on two relaxed days.
