About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- JessicaB80710 contributionsFun way to get around Central Park and adjacent areas!We reserved e-bikes for four, and we had a really great time! They tried to contact us the day before about starting earlier due to evening light, and we were able to start about 45 mins before our start time. They provided a very helpful demo of the bike functionality and helped us out with the NYC bike rules of the road. Basically, they answered all our 1000 questions! The bike power and lights were good and the bikes worked well. They took a great photo of us at the end. We had a really great time!Written 17 January 2025
- jemmamasters40 contributionsBest bike tour in NYCAn amazing trip. Learnt and saw lots in 2 hours. Brilliant tour guide. Good for all if the family. We had a lot of fun. Thank youWritten 19 December 2024
- Dr Urin F0 contributionsGreat serviceMark provided excellent service, thank you, and definitely recommend the company. Conveniently situated next to central parkWritten 19 December 2024
- heidiwJ3826JN0 contributionsAmazing personalized tour! don't be scared to go in winter!!My husband and I were in NYC for a few days and Central Park was definitely a must see. We thought about renting a bike or scooter on our own, but decided on a guided tour instead and I am really glad we did! The place is huge and having someone show you around and knowing where you can and cannot ride the bikes is clutch. You also get the most out of your time. I really wanted to see the Balto statue and our wonderful tour guide, JJ, made it happen. He was so kind and knowledgeable and made our time really enjoyable. it's so nice getting all the tidbits of history we'd never know on our own. If you're worried about a bike tour in colder weather, don't be!! there's never bad weather, just poor clothing choices! dress for the weather and DO IT!Written 10 December 2024
- RobfromThePas0 contributionsCentral Park Bike TourFriendly service, sturdy and reliable 3 speed bikes. Great for a tour of Central Park. The bell came in handy a few times. The only thing I could say is that I wished the bikes had a cell phone holder.Written 27 November 2024
- Richyboy_uk0 contributionsGreat time in the park! Bikes made it much easierLoads of bikes - easy to rent and we were out into Central Park in no time. Would recommend to anyone coming to Central ParkWritten 25 November 2024
- John K0 contributionsGood tourGreat location for bike pick up, right next to the park so little to no traffic concerns. The bikes were adequate for the tour, you can upgrade to electric bike or scooter for $10 per hour extra, I took the scooter and really enjoyed the experience, the wife opted for the bike and wished she had got the scooter. Our guide was a delightful engaging you lady who had good knowledge of the park and communicated very well on the numerous stops. However we could not hear a word she said when cycling along, unless you were right behind. I would recommend the tour and would use this company again. Didn’t feel like a 5 out 5 experience but pretty close.Written 16 November 2024

- yorkwhite210 contributionsToo much talking not enough cycling!We did the guided Central Park bike tour as part of our Sightseeing Pass deal. Their were about 8 of us on the trip. The guide was rather late turning up. Whilst it was interesting to learn about certain sights in Central park, we spent far too long at each stop, when a shortened explanation would have been more than enough, and we also spent quite a bit of time pushing our bikes where cycling wasn't permitted. Would definitely cycle Central park again, but definitely do it under our own steam.Written 13 October 2024

**Scooter Review: Exploring Manhattan on Two Wheels**
We recently spent an exhilarating four hours scooting around Manhattan, and it was an absolute blast! The scooters were fantastic—easy to handle and surprisingly stable, which made us feel safe the entire time.
As we zipped through the bustling streets, we were able to see so many amazing sights in such a short period. From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, the city came alive around us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore.
One of the best features was the ability to lock up the scooters at various locations, which made it easy to hop off and check out different attractions. Whether we were grabbing a bite to eat or snapping photos, we felt confident knowing our scooters were secure.
If you’re looking for a fun, efficient way to experience Manhattan, I highly recommend renting a scooter for a few hours. It’s a great way to cover more ground while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of the city!

Excellent service, you can negotiate the list price a little, depending on the number of scooters to rent and the time. Everyone who serves is very friendly. The scooters are in perfect condition, very easy to handle and very fun. I suggest that you rent at least 3 hours, I did it for 2 hours and it was insufficient.
They are very fun and addictive, they give you a map that helps you a lot if you want to go to Central Park, so you know the directions of the streets.

Simple transaction, booked ahead of our visit.
Electric scooters collected on the day with a refundable $200 deposit, after a quick demo given a map of Central Park and we were off on our way.
2hrs later scooters returned and deposit refunded 48hrs later.
Only notes…
riding on walkways can get the locals upset.
uphill the scooters don’t always have the power to get you there without some physical intervention.
Scooters don’t come with locks so you have to take them to the CP landmarks, they are pretty heavy so taking them up and down steps requires some effort.
Overall would recommend electric scooter hire from Fancy Apple.

We rented electric bikes, and cycled the entire sea side from little Island and over the Brooklyn bridge. Was incredibly delicious, and recommend electric npr it's hot, so you get a lot of wind when you cycle around. Tried regular bikes in Central park, also good, but it got really hot.

The store was pretty busy when we went in to pick up our scooters we had reserved online and the guys helping gave us our scooters and sent us on our way with no instructions whatsoever. They just wanted to move us out of the store.
I felt they should have given a brief tutorial because we ended up not using the scooters to their full potential in Central Park. Just a minute of instruction would have done wonders and made our rental much more enjoyable.
When we returned the scooters they pretty much had no response when we suggested they should do that with customers.
It may have just been a bad day there but we were not happy with our experience with this group and would not recommend them to others.

Wonderful experience. Friendly staff. Quick service. The scooter was of high quality and the ride was so much fun. The prices for rental are reasonable and insurance is cheap. They have helmets for free which I recommend given the number of people in the park. I highly recommend Fancy Apple

Helpful staff, and loved scooting around Central Park. One thing to remember, you need to leave $200, refundable when dropping equipment back or pay .$5.99 per person insurance. We had to pay the insurance as it was our last day and didn’t have that much cash.
Also you need photo ID.

My wife and I hired an e-scooter each and lapped Central Park twice stopping off on the way for pictures and coffee here and there. My wife said it was her favourite activity on our whole trip. It’s a fantastic way to see the whole park.
Was great fun, reasonably priced and very easy to drive the scooters. Locks are supplied so you can lock them up while you grab coffee or food.
Top tip - wrap up with hats, gloves, scarves and a warm coat. It can get very chilly!!

This is located in the middle of the city. You have to walk the scooter 2 blocks to the park in a very congested area. Even in Central Park, there are limited areas to ride in. We denied the extra insurance they offered but then we’re told we either had to get it or give them $200 cash to hold as a insurance deposit. Big scam if you ask me. They held my license. That should have been enough insurance for damages.
We had fun but wasn’t worth the money and headache.

The staff at the shop were fantastic especially Jamie. The scooters were amazing and it was such a great experience. The views of Central Park were stunning. We would have never managed to see everything we did on a bike. We highly recommend this company and want to say a big thank you to all the staff 😃
