Going to Santa Cruz next week, need EMTB rental recommendations

[Jasong911]

Local would be best but San Jose/cupertino would be ok, too.

Thanks in advance.

I know spesh has an experience center and Santa Cruz has a demo fleet, but wanted some other brand options if possible.

You can also demo IBIS. They are also in Santa Cruz

Specialized has a factory store in town, it's next to the Patagonia Outlet and it's close to good riding (UCSC). If you want to demo a Specialized ebike. If not, most of the shops in town have online reservations for bike rentals.

You can also consider Scotts Valley Cyclery. Good folk, local shop. They also have a Capitola Location as well. Really great crew.

I lived in Santa Cruz for many years surfing and mt biking . I didn't have an emtb then. There are like 20 bike shops. Im sure you will find something. Santa Cruz is the bike stealing capital of the world. Keep your bike in your site at all times.
out here in Colorado much more fun awesome trails no crowds.

Geez, KB, I’m leaving my shuttle AM at home here in Denver and going to the place you left…gotta be some fun stuff to ride even if we have to dodge some folks. Wilder ridge looks fun?

too crowed in California for me. Riding through the redwoods is nice. .Watch out for poison oak

Lived in Colorado all my life. Never seen poison oak. Stay out of the bushes, gotcha. Thanks man
