4-Hour Electric Bike Rental on 17-Mile Drive: Pebble Beach eBike Route
Charge up and let the eBike handle the hills while you take in coastal cliffs, the Lone Cypress, and hidden turnouts along 17-Mile Drive. This 4-hour rental is ideal for rolling through Pebble Beach’s most scenic oceanfront sections with time for food and photos.
The Experience
Before You Go
Start early or late for light and fewer cars
Traffic and parking ease up early morning and late afternoon; those windows give softer light for photos and calmer bike lanes.
Use the provided helmet and lock
Helmets are included but always fit yours correctly; lock up if you stop for lunch at Pebble Beach Market.
Plan for exposed wind and sun
Coastal winds can be strong—bring a windproof layer and sunscreen even on cool days.
Choose the right route for your comfort
If you prefer separated lanes, stay to the ocean-front bike paths; experienced riders can continue to Carmel and Point Lobos.

Conservation Note
The Monterey coastline is ecologically sensitive—stay on roads and trails, don’t disturb wildlife, and pack out all trash; marine protected areas offshore limit fishing to preserve kelp and marine life.
17-Mile Drive began as a private carriage road in the 1880s and evolved into a celebrated scenic route managed by the Pebble Beach Company.
