About Catalina Electric Bike Tours
Catalina Electric Bike Tours is a family-owned e-bike rental business operating from 101 Pebbly Beach Road in Avalon since 2007. They were one of the first operators on the island to focus exclusively on electric bikes, and their fleet of pedal-assist models makes conquering Avalon's notoriously steep hills effortless for riders of every age and fitness level. Rentals are available by the hour or full day, with walk-ins welcome alongside online reservations.
Their guided tour options take riders through Avalon's charming downtown streets, past the iconic Catalina Casino Building, along the waterfront promenade, and up into the hillside neighbourhoods where panoramic views stretch across the harbour to the mainland on clear days. Self-guided renters receive a detailed route map with suggested loops ranging from a casual one-hour harbour circuit to a half-day interior exploration using the Conservancy's bike trail network. Helmets are included with every rental, and the staff walk each rider through the pedal-assist controls before departure.
What makes Catalina Electric Bike Tours a standout is their nearly two decades of island-specific experience. They know which routes are best at which time of day, where to catch bison sightings from the saddle, and which hills to avoid when the marine layer rolls in. Their consistently high ratings on TripAdvisor and Yelp reflect a simple philosophy: well-maintained bikes, clear instructions, and genuine local hospitality that turns a rental transaction into a memorable island experience.
