Pick up an electric bike at the Redondo Beach Pier and ride the coastline at your own pace for four hours. The shop sits directly above the beach bike path, and from the moment you roll down the ramp, you are on the Marvin Braude Coastal Bike Trail with a clear route north through Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and onward to Venice Beach and the Santa Monica Pier if you choose.
The Redondo Beach Pier is a natural starting point for the ride. You can explore the pier, boardwalk, and King Harbor before or after your rental, and the shop's location at the top of the pier parking structure means you are on the bike path within minutes of check-in.
This is a self-guided e-bike rental, not a guided tour. All riders must be at least 4'10" tall. Riders under 18 require a parent or guardian signature on the waiver. Two frame sizes are available: 24" wheels for riders 4'10" to 5'4", and 26" wheels for riders 5'4" and taller. Both are step-through cruiser frames. The e-bikes have a motor-assisted maximum speed of 19 mph. The Marvin Braude Coastal Bike Trail has a speed limit of 8 mph, and there are areas during busy times where bikes must be walked when lights are flashing. The battery provides up to 50 miles of range on pedal assist level 2. All riders must complete and sign an online waiver and rental agreement before riding.
This is a self-guided e-bike rental, not a fixed-route tour. The four hours are yours to use however you like. Below is a suggested route that many riders follow from the Redondo Beach Pier northward along the coast.
Check in at the Beach E Biking shop on the top level of the Redondo Beach Pier parking structure (Building 129, at the top of the main brick staircase where Torrance Blvd meets the Redondo Landing). Your host fits you to a bike, walks you through the pedal assist levels, brakes, and battery, and offers route suggestions based on how far you want to ride and what you want to see. Once you are comfortable, walk the bike down the ramp and you are directly on the beach bike path.
Before heading north, you can ride a quick loop around King Harbor at the base of the Redondo Beach Pier. The harbor is home to sea lions on the docks, waterfront restaurants on the International Boardwalk, and views of the marina's 1,400 boat slips. The pier itself, originally built in 1889 and reconstructed in the 1990s, is one of the few wooden-deck piers on the California coast and a good first stop for photos.
Heading north from the Redondo Beach Pier, the paved bike path runs along the sand through Hermosa Beach (approximately 2 miles), past the Hermosa Beach Pier and the restaurants and bars along Pier Avenue, and on to Manhattan Beach (approximately 4 miles from Redondo). The Manhattan Beach Pier, with the Roundhouse Marine Studies Lab and Aquarium at its end, is a popular stop. The path continues north along Dockweiler State Beach, past the LAX flight path (planes pass low overhead), and into Marina del Rey before reaching Venice Beach and ultimately the Santa Monica Pier, roughly 16 miles north of the Redondo Beach Pier. Most riders on a four-hour rental reach Manhattan Beach or Venice Beach comfortably and return with battery to spare.
The beauty of a self-guided ride is that you set the pace. Riders commonly stop for coffee or lunch in Hermosa Beach, walk the Manhattan Beach Pier, lock the bike and spend time on the sand at any of the beaches along the route, browse the Venice Beach Boardwalk, or ride all the way to the Santa Monica Pier for photos before turning around. The lock and basket let you leave the bike secured while you explore on foot.
Ride back south along the same bike path to the shop at the Redondo Beach Pier. The pedal assist makes the return leg easy regardless of wind or fatigue. Return the bike to the shop by the end of your four-hour window.
Pass-by highlights include: King Harbor and the Redondo Beach Pier boardwalk, Hermosa Beach Pier, Manhattan Beach Pier and Roundhouse Aquarium, Dockweiler State Beach with low-flying planes, Marina del Rey, Venice Beach Boardwalk, and the Santa Monica Pier.
Cancel or change at least 48 hours before the start time for a refund to the original payment method. If the operator cancels due to weather or unforeseen circumstances you will be refunded. No-shows are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled.
Beach E Biking shop is located on the top level of the Redondo Beach Pier parking structure, above the beach bike path. Park in any of the pier parking lots and walk to the top level of the structure. The shop is at the top of the main brick staircase where Torrance Blvd meets the Redondo Landing.
The Redondo Beach Pier sits at the southern end of the Marvin Braude Coastal Bike Trail, the 22-mile paved path that runs along the sand from Torrance Beach north to Pacific Palisades. It is one of the most scenic and accessible bike routes in Los Angeles, flat the entire way, with ocean views for nearly every mile. What makes this e-bike rental a particularly good way to ride it is the starting point. The shop is located on the top level of the Redondo Beach Pier parking structure, directly above the bike path, which means you are pedaling along the coast within minutes of picking up the bike. And with a battery range of up to 50 miles, a round trip to Santa Monica and back (roughly 32 miles) is well within reach on a single charge.
The Redondo Beach Pier and King Harbor give you something to explore before or after the ride. The pier, originally built in 1889 as a shipping wharf, has been rebuilt multiple times and now holds restaurants, shops, a Fun Factory arcade, and fish markets along the International Boardwalk. King Harbor at the pier's base is where you will find sea lions, kayak and paddleboard rentals, sunset cruises, and the glass bottom boat. Many riders spend time at the pier before their rental, ride north along the coast, and return to the Redondo Beach Pier area for dinner and a walk along the boardwalk to close out the day.
This rental is a strong fit for visitors who want to see multiple South Bay beach towns in a single outing without driving or parking, couples or families looking for a shared activity that covers ground without heavy exertion, fitness-minded riders who want to extend their range beyond what a standard bike allows, and anyone staying near the Redondo Beach Pier who wants to explore the coastline north toward Santa Monica at their own pace. The pedal assist makes the ride accessible to all fitness levels, and the four-hour window gives you time to stop, explore, eat, and still make it back comfortably.
This shop has clearly built a stellar reputation on incredibly friendly, helpful service and quality equipment. Staff members like Al, Carter, Mark, and Andrea consistently go above and beyond, offering detailed route suggestions, thorough bike tutorials, and even helping customers with assembly and adjustments on bikes purchased elsewhere. Multiple reviewers mention how accommodating and professional everyone is, creating an easygoing rental experience from reservation through return. The e-bikes themselves get rave reviews for their condition and battery life. Several riders made the journey from Redondo Beach to Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, or Marina del Rey without draining the batteries, and even converts who weren't previously cycling fans found the experience transformative. The location right at King Harbor pier makes it convenient to hit The Strand and explore the South Bay coastline. Travelers appreciate the competitive pricing and simple reservation system, with many saying they'll definitely return on future visits.
I did an e-bike tour in Feb 2026. We did about 16 miles round trip. Its was awesome. Very highly recommended if you want to see the fantastic shore lines of LA all the way to Venice beach, with a cool LA breeze through your hair. Our host was fantastic. Very friendly, knowledgeable, supportive. The Bikes are comfortable.
