About
On this experience, you’ll take out a new Rad Runner 2 and enjoy the city from an electric bike. E-bikes, for the newcomer, are bicycles with motors that provide a boost, also called a pedal assist. Whether you want to cruise all the way to Delaware Park, to the East Side Train Terminal, or for the ambitious, head all the way up to Niagara Falls, I’ve got you covered! Great for families and sightseeing during your stay of Buffalo, NY.

- N0dell0 contributionsRode the Erie Canal to AlbanyWe rented bikes from Buffalo Bike Tours in order to ride the Erie Canal from Buffalo to Albany. The bikes were great. The batteries allowed us to ride as far as we were able each day. We did have to rent a Uhaul truck to return the bikes to Buffalo, but overall we were really glad we had the ebikes. Marc at Buffalo Bike Tours went out of his way to make picking up and dropping off the bikes as easy as possible.Written 6 September 2024

- peggymcdonnell0 contributionsWaterfront bike tourWe did this tour today and had a fabulous time! Tour gave us the opportunity to use Ebikes for the first time. Highly recommend!!Written 13 August 2023
- savvy_traveller1750 contributionsGreat tour!We had a great time on the tour with Sarah. She was enthusiastic and was engaging with us as participants. It was only our group of four with her. You do bike on a mix of roads, bike lanes and sidewalks, but it's pretty safe. We had a few people do the e-bikes and a few on the road bikes. The bikes were good quality. They are easily found on the commercial slip in canalside. Sarah went through just enough history for a casual tour. Sign up for their newsletter as I was sent a promo code after I already bought the tour and the tour was not refundable. It could save you a few bucks. Overall great tour!Written 7 August 2023
- pegs20140 contributionsCould not have been better way to experience Buffalo!We are a small women's bike touring company and contracted with Buffalo Bike Tours to create a unique tour for our customers. It included architectural highlights as well as neighborhoods, a lovely park and wings for lunch! Sara was a wonderful guide and we all enjoyed it very much...plus lunch was delicious! This was the kickoff day for our tour up to Niagara Falls and Canada and it couldn't have been better! Highly recommended for anyone. Buffalo has so much to offer and this is an awesome way to discover it!Written 3 August 2023

Fun, with caveats
Aug 2023
Appreciated the opportunity to ride an ebike and see how they work. Wish the instruction would have been more complete, including how to use the kickstand and to turn the bike off when you get off to avoid it accidentally taking off.
Tour leader should carry a basic first aid kit: someone fell, and needed to clean and bandaid a wound, but he had nothing. Other riders had supplies.
Would have preferred a longer ride and less history, especially at the first stop.

Dear K,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent experience with Buffalo Bike Tours. We genuinely value all forms of input as they help us continually improve our services. We would like to respond to some of the concerns you mentioned in your review.
We apologize if you felt that the instructions on how to ride an e-bike were not clear enough. Safety is of the utmost importance to us, and we did spend approximately 10 minutes before the tour briefing all participants on the proper operation and safety measures for the e-bikes. Additionally, we included detailed instructions in the customer portal, which was emailed and texted to all participants prior to the ride. We understand that everyone's learning style is different, but we fully expect participants to pay attention to in-person instruction and review the provided materials to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. I don't know much more instruction we can provide.
Regarding the first aid kit, we assure you that we did bring a fully equipped first aid kit on the tour. In the unfortunate event of an accident, we are prepared to provide immediate assistance. I'm not sure if you saw but Maria actually got a bandaid from the first aid kit and the participant took the bandaid and put it on her leg. I am not sure how you experienced something differently but the participant used our first aid kit and we are always prepared to handle a range of situations and administer appropriate aid when necessary.
We apologize if the historical aspect of the tour did not meet your expectations. The tour you participated in was specifically designed as a historical exploration of the canals and waterways in Buffalo and was marketed as such. We received funding to provide this unique historical perspective, and it was indeed mandated by our contractual agreement with New York State. We understand that historical content might not appeal to everyone, and we do offer a variety of other tour options and opportunities for self-guided adventures on our e-bikes. As an option, you can rent e-bikes from us anytime and design your own ride.
We genuinely value your feedback and encourage you to explore our other offerings or consider renting an e-bike to design your own personalized experience. If you have any further concerns or questions, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We are committed to continually enhancing our services and ensuring that every participant has a safe, enjoyable, and informative experience on our tours.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a different adventure in the future.
Best regards,
Tour Guide Marc (and Maria)
