RIBB - Santa Monica is a Santa Monica-based rental business focused on providing clear, family-friendly options for exploring the coastal bike paths. The business offers a variety of vehicles including Levy Plus electric scooters (up to 18 MPH, 20-mile range), Jax Rev electric bikes (up to 20 MPH, 46-mile range), Valen Rev+ fat-tire electric bikes (up to 28 MPH, 68-mile range), and multiple Retrospec beach cruisers in 20", 24", and 26" sizes suitable for kids and adults.
Rentals are available in short and long windows—one hour, two hours, and full-day options appear across listings. Several trips explicitly note complimentary accessories such as helmets, baskets, locks, and kid-friendly trailers where indicated. Summer deal listings advertise discounted rates on selected Levy scooters, Valen and Jax e-bikes, and Retrospec cruisers.
The product descriptions emphasize safe, legal alternatives for Santa Monica’s bike paths: Levy scooters are offered where traditional rideshare scooters are restricted, while pedal-assist e-bikes provide extended range for longer coastal trips. Clear performance details and visible accessory notes help customers plan family outings, Venice Boardwalk rides, or longer e-bike excursions with confidence.
