"electric" and bike sounds oxymoronic, but it works. This is a great tour and a unique way to see the city and surrounds, all without sweat. Up hills, into head winds, no problems. Our guide, Gunnar, was especially knowledgable about the city and its history and we covered more ground in the three hours than could be possible by foot or pedal. If you want to see Reykjavik and see what most tourist don't see then this is the tour for you. Highly recommend.
Brilliant: do this! Friendly, fun, informative.

We decided to take a scooter tour of the city, and it was the best thing we did in Iceland! Our guide, Tyffi, was a really friendly, interesting and pleasant guy and he ended up tailoring our 2 hour tour to even longer, staying longer at places we hadn't been and tailoring it to what we wanted to do. The scooters all look really new, as are the helmets, and are easy to ride. I would never do this sort of tour normally, as I find the idea quite scary, particularly given that I'm used to driving on the other side of the road - and have never ridden a scooter before, but any fears I had went very quickly - safety is taken seriously and following Tyffi meant that I wasn't scared about what side of the road to be on! On top of it all, the tour itself was really interesting, as Tyffi seemed genuinely enthused about sharing his knowledge of his country with us - and I definitely learned more than I would have in any of the many guide books I'd read about Iceland. Some people say that Reykjavik is easy to walk about in - and it is, but there are several attractions that I wanted to see that are further out...such as the Perlan, the geothermal beach, the lighthouse etc so it's a great way to see things. We're pretty fit, but we were really tired after walking around Reykjavik for a day so this was a perfect way to see places.

Electric Bikes!

Bikes are the best way to see Reykjavik. In a few hours I was able to see what would have taken me all day or possibly two days to see on foot. And these are ELECTRIC bikes! They are fun to ride. If you have never experienced an electric bike you should definitely try. They are like electric motorcycles. No noise. It is like someone is pushing the back of the bike. I just like the idea of electric bikes and I think they should be more widespread. The tour is a great introduction to the city. I'd been in the city a few weeks but went on the tour anyway and it took me to new places that I had not been to because I didn't feel like walking that far. On the bike it was effortless. Highly recommended.
On El-bike around Reykjavik
Reviewed by RagnaOlafs on May 3, 2010
Season Tours started the tourist season on the 10th of April 2010. They offer a three hours guided tour on el-bikes around Reykjavik.
I was one of the lucky ones that day - joining the first tour.
We started the tour from the Season Tours headquarters at the old harbour in Reykjavik (city centre) and that location reminds us of the importance of the sea for the Icelandic people through the ages. The first stop of the tour was at the Ingolfur Arnarsson statue who was, according to the Icelandic Sagas, the first settler in Iceland. Then we biked along the sea shore, having a wonderful view over the sea, small isles nearby and big mountains more far off away. We stopped next at Hofdi, the official residence of Reykjavik City, most famous for the meeting of Gorbatsjef and Reagan in 1986.
On we went up and down hills, without much effort, thanks to the el-bikes, seeing much more and getting a good feeling of the charming city with its varying architecture.
This is a splendid way to explore Reykjavik in three hours. No one gets tired but is eager to see more!
