About this tour
A two-hour pedal-powered pub crawl for groups of up to 15 people in Austin. You and your crew power the trolley together—with electric assist on hills—while bringing your own drinks and music. A certified captain steers you to top spots around town or follows your chosen route. It's designed for groups marking special occasions: bachelorette parties, birthdays, pub crawls.
Highlights
- Pedal-powered trolley with electric assist on uphill sections
- Book the entire trolley privately for up to 15 people

- Suitable for all fitness levels, not just athletes
What to expect
You'll arrive at the trolley, meet your certified captain, and get a quick orientation on how pedalling works—the group's combined leg power moves the vehicle, with an electric motor kicking in when hills get steep. Load your BYOB drinks into the onboard cooler, queue up your playlist, and start pedalling as the captain guides you through Austin's pub scene. You can suggest specific stops or let the captain take you to well-known spots. The experience lasts two hours total, including travel time and any stops you make.
There's no rigid itinerary: the pace depends on how long your group wants to linger at each location and how hard you're willing to pedal. The captain handles navigation and keeps things moving. At the end of two hours, you'll return to the starting point.

Good to know
This works best for groups celebrating something—hens' nights, birthdays, milestone pub crawls—or simply friends wanting a novelty night out together. Everyone pedals, so reasonable fitness helps; the electric assist makes it manageable for varying abilities, but poor cardiovascular health isn't advised. Weather is a factor: you're exposed on the trolley, so summer heat and rain will affect comfort. The trolley holds 15, so large groups are catered to but tight. All alcohol must be BYOB and stay on board (you can't carry drinks between stops). Ice isn't provided, so bring your own if you want cold drinks. Valid ID is essential. Gratuities for the captain aren't included in the price. Light snacks can come aboard to avoid multiple bar stops.
