Take an Austin food tour on electric bike with Rocket Electrics
What to Expect From an Electric Bike
Taking a ride on one of these e-bikes is a treat in itself. You can go as far as 20 miles on a single charge, at speeds up to 20 miles per hour, so it makes for easy travel. If your feet get tired from pedaling, all you have to do is twist your wrist lightly to activate the throttle, and you’re in business.
Rocket Electrics also sells these bad boys if you’re looking for an alternative (and FUN) mode of transportation. In addition, they have an in-house repair shop, which is nice, especially because they’re able to work on any type of bike you may own.
All of their tour guides are super knowledgeable and friendly. On Austin food tours, they regularly accommodate special dietary needs or requests. Their private tours are perfect for any celebration or company event. They’ve taken up to 30 people in one group and, over the years, their tour guides have shown thousands of locals and visitors around Austin.
The popularity of e-bikes has spread worldwide. In fact, Rocket Electrics has been featured in publications such as The New York Times, Austin-American Statesmen and Austin Magazine.
