Member Spotlight: Toho Bikes offers electric bike & trike tours along Kissimmee & St. Cloud trails.

Toho Bikes offers lakefront electric bicycle and adult tricycle tours and rentals.

When is the last time you’ve been to the Kissimmee or St. Cloud lakefront on a bike?
Now you can cruise along the 5-mile Kissimmee lakefront or the 7-mile St. Cloud downtown and lakefront on an electrified adult 3-wheeled trike! Each tour lasts 2 hours and will bring you up close and personal with Florida’s nature and aquatic wildlife. No pedaling required!

Each tour is offered with a personal guide, or if you’d rather go at your own pace, you can also pick a self-guided tour. A map of the lakefront will be provided for your convenience. Or if you’d rather explore other trails around the Kissimmee and St. Cloud area, you can rent by the hour, day, or even by the week!  You can even use one to commute to work or school. Free drop-off and pick-up is included within 10 miles of downtown Kissimmee.

Each adult tricycle is equipped with a water bottle holder and a large basket on the back. It’s great to carry a picnic basket for a lakefront lunch. You can operate the bike in full electric mode where no pedaling is needed, or you can utilize pedal-assist mode if you want to get a little extra
exercise while you ride.  And, yes, you can even turn them off completely and ride in full pedal mode if you are looking for more of a workout!

For a more sporty ride, rent an electrified mountain bike featuring instant torque and acceleration. These bikes are twice as fast as the adult trikes, and great to ride the grassy dog trail along the St. Cloud lakefront.

Bicycle helmets are provided with each rental at no extra cost. Rentals and tours are available seven days a week from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Reservations are required. For availability, please visit www.TohoBikes.com, and check out some images in the gallery below!
