The experience

You'll ride a 2025 Specialized Kenevo Expert electric mountain bike, which means the motor handles the work on flat terrain and gentle inclines. You control the pace without fighting the pedals. The tour starts at Santa Monica and follows the coast north, passing the Santa Monica Pier and Muscle Beach before heading toward Venice. Along the way you'll stop to take in the Venice Boardwalk and its skate park, then continue to Marina del Rey Harbor, where you can watch boats and ships at rest in the calm water. Bottled water is included, and the guide leads the group in English or Spanish.

The route is built around ocean views the whole way, and the e-bike lets you actually enjoy them instead of grinding uphill. Two hours is enough time to cover the main stops without rushing, and the moderate fitness requirement means you're not training for a race. Just riding steadily along the beach. The guide sets the pace and picks where the group stops, so you're not navigating or making decisions about the route.

What happens if I've never ridden an e-bike before?

The Specialized Kenevo Expert is designed to be intuitive: the motor kicks in as you pedal, so you control how much assistance you use. The guide will explain how it works before you start, and the coastal route has no steep hills to worry about.

How long do we actually spend at each stop?

The tour includes several rest stops to see the Santa Monica Pier, Muscle Beach, and the Venice Boardwalk, but the guide determines the timing so the group stays together and covers all three main sites within the two-hour window.

What's the Venice Boardwalk like on this tour?

You'll ride past the Venice Boardwalk and get a view of the unique shops and the beach skate park beside it. The stop lets you take in the scene and snap photos before the group continues toward Marina del Rey.

Is this tour good for someone visiting the coast for the first time?

Yes, the route hits the major landmarks (Santa Monica Pier, Muscle Beach, Venice Boardwalk, Marina del Rey Harbor) in a single morning or afternoon, and the e-bike means you cover more ground than you would on foot without exhausting yourself.
