“I had the opportunity to rent an electric assist bike from Escape last weekend. I had a wonderful bike in perfect working order. A helmet, lock and panier were all included in the price. The staff were very helpful and everything was well organized. I highly recommend this company and touring Ottawa by bike. There is an extensive trail system and biking the canal is lovely. Thanks Escape Tours and Rentals!”

“Had a wonderful time in Ottawa – and this e-assist bike I rented to take a gentle trip across the river was a highlight of my trip. Quick service, and an easy e-assist device allowed me to truly enjoy my trip, by ensuring I was not winded or stranded at any point. Would be glad to Escape with Escape Tours again on one of their great bike options.”

“needed to rent an electric bike for a week to commute while I was without a vehicle. Excellent service, painless transactions and fully outfitted with quality equipment and accessories.”
