Mountain Tour Puerto Vallarta Electric Bikes

Hugo is a great tour guide— professional, personable, fun and witty. We had tons of fun on this excursion and would highly recommend it! I also enjoyed the stops along the way for photos and food. The path/roads can get bumpy so be prepared for that. You may hit a muddy area or two as well. Fun, fun, fun!

Alex and Ryan were our guides and were fantastic. The stop at the top for lunch and tequila mescal tasting was really wonderful.

Let me first say that the all the people that we spoke to or delt with were super; all were helpful and friendly. This is the only reason they are getting 2/5 instead of 1/5! The bikes that they had look to be 5+ years old and not well maintained. They are fat tire bikes with a front hub motor (uncommon). With a front hub motor the front wheel will slip on loose gravel going up hills as all the weight is in the rear. Also, with the front hub drive, there was no E-assist, only a throttle. It appeared as though they picked the best bikes that they had available for us to ride, my wife's bike from the start wouldn't shift to any higher gear than 3rd and mine had a very loose front end that I pointed out before we left. It seemed like everything on the bikes were a little "loose". My bikes brakes (cable disc brakes) somewhat worked when we left the business, however, during the trip they became less effective with each use until finally on the way back, I had to stop and tell the guide that I wasn't going to ride this bike back as it was too dangerous. I was squeezing both brakes so hard and so long going down the steep hills that my hands hurt. By doing this, it just had me going slow enough to not loose control. There was no way I was going to actually stop the bike if I really needed to. My wife's bike's brakes worked better, but not like they should have. I actually work at a bike shop and had any of their bikes come in for a tune up or repair, our technicians would have told them that they weren't worth repairing. Honestly, there wouldn't have been any components on their bikes worth saving. When I say that the bikes were junk, that's really not describing how bad they were. In spite of the crappy bikes, we had a nice time on our outing, however, it could have been a great day had we even had decent bikes. I cannot recommend this trip until they replace their ageing equipment.
