We rented two old-school (non-electric/hybrid) bikes from Top Jolt Cycle for 2 days. The owner was friendly and helpful, and our bikes got us all over the Ocean Beach area! I would definitely recommend renting from Top Jolt!
This is the place! Excellent communication, I had left my bikes in San Diego after a move and needed to get them to me in SF ASAP! I called one bike shop who actually referred me to Jolt Cycle. The owner is an amazing guy very kind and knowledgeable. Updated me throughout the whole process, And was able to ship my bikes to me same week 🙌🙌 I will recommend to all my friends and family! 5 STARS!
We rented e-bikes late in the day and Todd was very helpful to get us out the door quick so we could enjoy the bike ride before the sun went down. Prices were affordable and bikes were in excellent condition. We would definitely recommend this place!
A hidden gem in Ocean Beach for bike repair and tune-ups! I needed an old bike tuned up and made functional in a hurry. Another nearby shop wanted me to wait a month for an appointment.Todd was able to do it within 3 hours!Both inner tubes and liners replaced, a bent allow wheel straightened, everything lubed and cleaned, a kickstand put on.Todd, the owner, was very friendly and fair.The bike shop is in the back of the Himalayan store, and you can also rent electric bikes there.Highly recommended!
Todd has good vibes and is friendly. Great prices and smooth transaction process. He is genuine and cares about your needs and asks questions to suit you with the right bike option.
Great bike rentals - had hybrid bikes to tour the area (with great suggestions of good bike routes around the city) and road bikes on offer for longer rides as well.
Prices were good. Had the electric bikes for 24 hours and rode around San Diego. My husband and I had a blast. Definitely recommend as we didnt have to pay for parking where went. Todd was great to work with and it was easy to get the bikes.
Super helpful, flexible and friendly service. We enjoyed our experience and would absolutely rent from Todd again!
Great service. Good bikes with directions around the city.
Great experience. My e-bike is shifting cleaner, gears are holding tighter, and the brakes are more responsive after a tune up with Todd. He was thorough and very communicative. Will be back for future ebike needs.
I recently rented two electric mopeds from this shop. The mopeds were brand new and would highly recommend renting them from top Jolt. I couldnt have picked better way to get around.
Todd was quick and thorough. I needed a bike assembled and he got it to me in a few hours when other shops around were saying a few days. His pricing was the same as all the other shops. Highly recommend.
Todd was great. I was looking for an innertube for my bike and said he wasnt at the shop at the moment.He then made sure to give me a call when he was there and gave me some options to fix my tube and offered another innertube type that did fit my bike.He was easy to work with and fun to chat with. Would recommend this place.
Rented a pair of bikes from Todd, he was very kind and informative about where to ride. Also asked him to assemble my bike as I had just moved and it was in a box. Dropped it off on Sunday in pieces and picked it up Monday put together and running smooth.
If you are looking into renting beach cruisers in OB and a super friendly service, then Todds shop at just 2 minutes from the beach is the place to go!
This shop is awesome. Great bikes, great prices.Every time I come to OB, Top Jolt is my first stop, and he has me out the door, with a bike in hand in about 5 easy minutes.
My wife and I rented 2 bikes for 4 days. Tod generously dropped off two bikes at our hotel and brought over a faster bike the next day for free. Super reliable bikes, rentals price was super reasonable and Tod was friendly!
Went in to get my tire innertube changed, Owner had a bad attitude, went flat the next day.. he refuses to fix it! Boycott!!! Go to Bernies Bike Shop next door. Or anywhere else ..0 stars if could..NOT OB Cool
I rented a bike from here for two days while in SD and it was perfect! The price was very responsible, $50, and he gave me good tips on where to go and how to get around and how to avoid the worst hills haha. SD is very bike friendly, so I highly recommend renting a bike to get around.
I called to rent a bike for the week and they quoted me $100 for each bike. The pricing on their website says $60 for a week. They said due to COVID they don’t have a lot of bikes left. So you are going to almost charge double?! You need to update your prices on your website or honor the prices you have on your site. It says this is the friendliest bike shop in the area- not if you are going to rip people off and try to price gouge then.
Todd was very helpful from answering all of my questions to making sure the settings on my bike were perfect. I also appreciated the wide range of different bikes to choose from to buy. Thank you!!
Had an amazing time tandem biking. Todd is so personable and you can’t beat the price! Excited to go back again !
Affordable. Great service and selection!! Would definitely recommend
Spent a great saturday afternoon riding e-bikes around Mission Bay. Easy to find, great bikes, and a helpful owner. Thanks!!!
Super great service! Let me test ride and answered all questions I had. I feel really great about my purchase, thank you!
Friendly, knowledgeable great bike selection. Very happy with my purchase.
Great service, quick and easy process. Highly recommend this place, the SD native owner was kind and welcoming. Gave us some great places to explore!
I rented a road bike for a day exploring the coast. Todd @ Top Jolt provided a top quality bike, and delivered to my hotel - great service. Thanks!
The bike I rented here was in perfect shape mechanically, with brakes and shifters properly adjusted, and I got a good suggestion on a route. I often rent bikes when I travel and I often find rental bikes are not well maintained, so I really appreciated getting a bike that was in good shape, especially going up and down the steeper hills in that area.
My buddy and I had a great experience renting from Top Jolt! The owner (Todd) was friendly and flexible, as we contacted him for a rental an hour before we needed bikes. He also made sure provide us with well maintained bikes he lubricated the chains and checked them for safety and fit prior to our arrival. Finally, we were provided with helmets, a lock, directions, and affordable prices for a great day of riding along San Diegos beaches! I definitely recommend renting bikes from Top Jolt Cycle!
Went just dropped the bikes off just a little bit ago and the owner was a sweetheart. He is tucked in the back of a small clothing store, and a little hard to find but when you do find it, it’s clean and the owner is very eager to help and get you on your way!:)We had a great experience with Jolt Cycle! We are definitely coming back! Thank you!
Three of us had a very enjoyable 4 hours on e-bikes from Top Jolt - comfortable to ride and in very good condition. The owner was very friendly and helpful and made sure we knew everything we needed to know before we left on our ride. Would definitely recommend.
We bought an electric bike there last week so I can commute to work with the hills and a 10 mile ride each way... the bike is soo much fun and my commute is awesome. Bye, bye gas prices and hello doing good for the world and me. My kids think its great too. Top Jolt Cycle was great. Great customer service and working with us and a good deal on the bike! P.S.They also rent scooters/ moped there! I think the only place in San Diego. Thanks so much Top Jolt for making it happen!
They gave me a really good price on a bike with kid seat. The bike worked great! Very friendly and good service. Top Jolt Cycle is a very good place to rent a bike in San Diego!
Todd was so nice, helping our family take a lovely bike cruise with two kiddos. His bikes and trailers were in excellent shape! Super easy pick-up and drop off :) Thanks! Will be back soon!
Beauty owner go with a multi speed bike if you want to head to Cabrillo/Point LomaEmbrace the climb it’s worth it
I went for a weekly rental on a hybrid. The bike I received was patently unsafe and in terrible condition. The rear wheel was severely warped. The tires were underinflated. Both brakes were so soft that stopping quickly was impossible (the warped rear wheel makes functioning brakes impossible). The derailleur was not functioning properly, gears did not stay in place and would rattle loudly. The entire drive train looked like it hadnt been lubricated in a year.This was the only hybrid they had in my size, so I went and found a much better hybrid at another shop for only a few extra dollars. I returned the bike after a few hours on the first day. Out of a $72 rental, I received only a $33 refund. I wouldnt mind a nominal fee, but charging me nearly $40 for an unsafe bike is terrible business practice.
Great price and great service. Bicycles we rented were in good condition and easy to ride. Thank you to Todd for the recommendation of riding along sunset cliffs to Cabrillo National Monument. Great views down to Mexico!
Im from out of town and wanted to ride the Dog Beach/San Diego River area. Top Jolt is in the epicenter of OB and had expert advice and service. I will be a repeat customer. Im a guy that hadnt ridden a bike for 20+ years so I found a comfortable cruiser and had at it. Perfect day!
Todd was great, hooked us up despite being in China, and the rides were awesome!
They gave us great suggestions on where to ride and how long it would take. Rented 3 cruisers. Were in pretty decent condition.... especially for rentals. Definitely recommend!
Really great bike rental! The bikes we had were very well maintained and were very fun to ride through Ocean Beach. Very affordable rental rates. Business Owner is very friendly and will give great ideas of places to ride.Definitely will come back soon!
Great shop and bikes! My sister and I had a blast :) Todd was super helpful and even gave us suggestions of a great place to go. I definitely recommend!
Very friendly and helpful. We had reserved road bike rentals for our upcoming trip but had to cancel due to illness a few days in advance. They were friendly and prompt with the cancellation and refund.
If the shop isnt open, be sure to call the number on the door. We were able to rent a couple of bikes over the phone without a problem, once we actually read the sign!
Had a great experience at Jolt. Provided a good rate on renting the bikes, was helpful, and offered a wide range of solutions. A good assortment of different bikes (and E bikes!) I strongly recommend!
Small shop, family owned and run. Super helpful staff. Would return again.
Awesome personal care with well maintained bikes.
Todd helped our group of 8 on very short notice- found bikes for all sizes and even extra helmets for bikes that we brought along. $30 for all day seemed like a good deal to us- wed definitely rent from Top Jolt again!
Todd was great got my bike looks awesome good deal. Great people
Good service and guidance from a very friendly owner. The bikes were in good condition for a good price. Absolutly recommandable.
Took a road bike out for the day and really enjoyed it. Todd was great and Ill rent again.
We paid 20$ for a bycicle that was technically not able to go forward. Bad service and very expensive.
Cool owner, good bikes. Flexible!
Todd was an awesome guy; we were able to have a fun time riding around the area
Todd is the man! We had an amazing time riding in OB. Id highly recommend renting from his shop.
Great place! rented a mtn bike for a week, perfect to get around town in. Highly recommend.
Wide variety of bikes, friendly service.
Rented a bike here. Good service, nice bike and very affordable.
Best Place in town to Rent Bikes!
Nice guy, good bike, excellent location.
Great service!
Very good service! The bikes are in good condition, the brakes and gears work great. Rental is a bit more expensive than other places in San Diego, but it was closest to our location. $ 10 / hour
