Reviews From Real Customers
My friend and I rented e-bikes from Meat Machine and it was our first time riding e-bikes so we were a little nervous, but it was super easy to get used to and now we never want to go back to riding our regular bikes. The bike shop guys were friendly, had a nice selection of e-bikes, and were very helpful getting us set up and answering any questions we had…

Perfect place to rent E-bikes on San Juan Island! Every step was easy, and the bikes are great!
-Stephanie S
These guys were great!! Super friendly, great service setting up a road bike rental and great service doing a repair on another bike in our group that had an issue come up during our trip. The rental bike was in great shape and well maintained. Had a lot of confidence that these guys knew what they were doing, you could tell by how quickly and easily they worked on the bikes. Would recommend this bike shop any day, wish there was a place like this on every bike trip I do.

We rented ebikes for the day from Meat Machine and we were very pleased. The bikes ran perfectly and were in great shape. The service is outstanding. They let us return the bikes until 9pm. We ended up back way sooner but it made the whole day very relaxing not worrying about when we had to get back. Highly recommend these guys.
-J G
Super accommodating and the bikes were in outstanding condition. Seth was also most happy to provide us with suggestions of places to go and things to do, providing us with a map to ensure we remembered it all. You can return bikes as late as 9pm, which is also 5-star.

This is the third time that I have rented from Meat Machine , and each time the service has been excellent, and the equipment is in perfect working order. This was my first time renting an e-bike, I selected the Cannondale. It was a great experience. Seth and John were also able to help with overnight charging, when needed, as my accommodation did not allow any bikes inside. You can’t go wrong with Meat Machine!

The guys at Meat Machine are knowledgeable and fun 🚲. I highly recommend renting or buying a bike (or two) from them. They will be your friends for life.

Seth and John were knowledgeable, helpful and cool. They helped me shift my rental from a week to four days in most cost effective way and gave me pointers for getting around SJI as well as planning an Orcas bike trip up Mt Constitution. They also have after-hours drop-off and help # if you need it. Oh, and the bike was SO much fun to ride. I highly recommend!

We rented e-bikes for 3 days. Seth and John were terrific. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We dropped off the bikes at the end of every day and returned in the morning to find them fully charged and ready to go. Bikes were perfectly suited for the terrain and well maintained. Set up was excellent, pride of workmanship was apparent and the e-bikes made effortless work of the hills and the occasional gravel. Will return for future rentals. Highly recommend.

The best way to tour San Juan Island is on an e-bike from Meat Machine Cycles in Friday Harbor. We received friendly service that quickly fitted our bicycles and instructions on how to use them, and then we rode off to explore the island. We planned a full-day tour from Friday Harbor with time to explore San Juan Island National Park, including Cattle Point Lighthouse, watch for whales swimming past Lime Kiln Point State Park, and explore Roche Harbor before returning to Friday Harbor.
-Robert S
Excellent bikes, easy booking, friendly owner. We took 2 ebikes for a day around the island and it was perfect.
-A T
We loved everything about our meat machine experience- the bikes, the staff, the advice, the island vibe. Seth helped us with the rental- he was the best! Highly recommend!
