Electric Bikes Roll into Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone

For Immediate Release:
January 19, 2017

Let’s get rolling! Wheel Fun Rentals of Santa Barbara is excited to announce the addition of electric bikes to their Mason Street Location. Wheel Fun Rentals’ latest offering gives riders a new way to enjoy Santa Barbara’s World Famous Bike Path. Located in the heart of the Funk Zone, riders can follow the boardwalk through Santa Barbara, past beautiful sandy beaches and on to the bird sanctuary. These premium electric bikes boast a robust battery life, providing enough power to ride over 20 miles without breaking a sweat. Conveniently located at 24 E Mason Street, this location is open 7 days a week from 8am – 6pm.
“Wheel Fun Rentals of Santa Barbara has been renting specialty cycles for over 35 years. We are eager to announce the addition of electric bikes as a permanent fixture to our fleet. The addition of the e-bike will provide both locals and visitors even more recreational options, and the opportunity to ride longer and farther,” said Teddi Drew, local owner and operator.

One-hour electric bike rentals are $20 an hour, while half day rentals are $59, making their rates for electric bike rentals some of the lowest in Santa Barbara.  Wheel Fun Rentals at Mason Street offers a variety of specialty cycles, traditional two-wheeled bikes, and now are thrilled to bring e-bikes to the area.
