Avocado Bikes

• Rents: E-cruisers, fat-tire bikes and trikes
• Delivery: Free on two or more bikes
• From: $68 a bike

Avocado Bikes rents electric bikes from a shop at 807 William Hilton Parkway, Suite 100, the address Hilton Head E Bike Rentals also lists; Lowcountry e-bike Tours is listed at the same suite and number. The fleet is built around Avocado's own electric beach cruiser, in a 26-inch size for riders 16 and up and a 24-inch size, with fat-tire e-bikes, full-size and small electric trikes, and an electric cargo bike with a kids' bench seat. Add-ons run from Burley child trailers, tag-alongs and baby seats to dog and cargo trailers and a beach kit. Each bike has GPS tracking, a belt drive, hydraulic disc brakes, front suspension and a headlight. The motor helps only while you pedal and stops when you do, so first-time riders need no practice.

Delivery, Batteries and Help on the Road

Delivery is free when you rent two or more bikes, and a helmet and lock come with each one. The shop puts a charge at about 30 to 40 miles, depending on the rider, the wind and the tires. On a week-long rental, ask for a portable charger or a battery swap. If a bike gives trouble while you are out, call the shop and it will bring a replacement to you. Enjoying a one-day rental? Ask about crediting it toward a multi-day one.

Tours, Bike and Dine, and Sales

The Hilton Head History E-Bike Tour is a guided ride of two and a half to three hours past Gullah communities, a late-1700s cemetery and the island's plantation-era sites, with water provided and groups capped at 10. The Coastal Restaurants Bike and Dine package pairs a 36-hour rental with a $50 gift card for Coastal Crab. Avocado also sells e-bikes, services the bikes it sells, and supplies fleets to resorts.
