A salty wind tugs at your hair and your dog’s ears as the group rolls out from a small shop at the corner of Ocean and Mission in Carmel-by-the-Sea. The first downhill coasts toward a leash-free stretch of sand where dogs vault and splash, then the fleet lines up along Scenic Drive—bikes humming, sidecars steady—heading past Frank Lloyd Wright’s coastal modern and the river-rock walls of Tor House.

Confirm dog size and temperament ahead of time
Sidecars fit up to ~100 lbs combined; tell the shop your dog’s weight and demeanor so they provide the correct sidecar and safety plan.
Bring a harness and leash
Use a clip-style harness for safer, quicker attachment inside the sidecar and carry a short leash for beach breaks.
Plan for lifts
Be ready to lift your dog into and out of the sidecar—handlers should be physically able to assist a pet up to the weight limit.
Choose morning departures
Morning rides have calmer winds and quieter beaches, improving comfort for nervous or easily overstimulated dogs.
Comfortable closed-toe shoes
Stable footwear helps you control the e-bike and handle turns with a sidecar attached.
Dog harness (clip-style)
A harness clips safely inside the sidecar and is quicker to secure than a collar.
Light windbreaker
Coastal mornings can be cool and breezy; a packable jacket adds comfort without bulk.

Towel and waste bags
Towel for wet dogs after beach time and bags to pack out waste keep the route clean.
