The only planned excursion through NCL
we did was in Bermuda; the EZ Rider (or
Lazy rider as I called it) Electric
Bicycle Sightseeing Tour.
It was fantastic!! Our favorite day in
fact. The bikes are power assisted so
even though you're pedaling, they assist
you, so you can go up hills really
easily. And I'm not particularly fit.
They take you on a well planned tour for
just over two hours through the hills of
the west side of Bermuda and it is just
stunning, the views are amazing. It
feels really safe too, with the tour
leader (an older chap) leading the way
at the front, and his son at the back,
you are well protected, and they are
very patient.
I think there was about 25 in our tour,
ranging from teenagers to people in
perhaps their 50's - all the locals wave
at you and truck drivers honk their
horns and we were all 'ringing our
bells' back at them - it was a lot of
fun and I highly recommend it.

Hello Jay,
We had an
awesome time on your (Electric) Bike
tour in Bermuda. It was very cool how
you took us on streets and trails that
we might have never seen with a tour
bus.
Thanks
again!!

I was the (travel) agent AND the client
- one in the same. My travel friend and
I did the electric bikes in Bermuda
and it was THE BEST! The guys that
own and operate the business (a father/son
team) are just super. They
know what they're doing, they treat all
their customers/riders with
respect and courtesy, and they make
the trip just a tremendous amount of
fun. ... They are a very class act. I
will highly recommend this excursion to
all of my future Bermuda cruise clients.

Hello Justin -
My name is Tania
Morales and my family and I took your
tour while we were on a cruise to
Bermuda. We enjoyed your tour very much.
This trip was a present for my father
who also enjoyed the tour very much. I
wanted to say thank you to you and your
father for having such a great tour.
Thanks for making our trip special for
my father. I hope all is well in that
beautiful island. I hope the hurricane
that hit recently didn't cause too much
damage (no it didn't - Justin).
Again, thank you once again for such a
fun tour.
Sincerely,
Tania

Dear Justin and Jay,
Less than a week ago my family went on a
cruise to Bermuda and went on your EZ Rider
bike tour. When I woke up that morning I
wasn't feeling very well, and as I'm sure
most teenagers do, found myself not wanting
to get on a bike and follow a bunch of
people I don't know around an island that I
hadn't ever given much thought to visiting.
Luckily for me I decided to try it out. I
had a great time! Getting out in the fresh
air of Bermuda was a great change from
staying cooped up in my cabin, and
everything there is so beautiful. You were
wonderful tour guides, my whole family
enjoyed the trip!
Thanks so much for such a great experience,
Laura McQuistion (15
years old ;)

Dear Jay,
One week ago today my wife and I, both in our
60's, took the E-Z Rider Electric
Bicycle Tour with you and your son. This
was a tour scheduled in conjunction with a
week-long cruise to Bermuda on Celebrity's
Zenith.
This was our 5th cruise (Bermuda, Caribbean, and
Hawaii) and the 30th tour that we've taken. We
found your tour to be exhilarating, very
educational and quite safe. Your tour took us to
beautiful, off-the-beaten-path, scenic and
historic sites in Bermuda that we would not have
otherwise visited. I'm so glad that we took our
camera! This definitely was a "top 10% tour"
from among the many that we've taken on our
cruises.
When we visit Bermuda again, the E-Z Rider
Electric Bicycle Tour will be a definite
"repeat" for us!
Until then
Cordially,
Bill and Eileen Vogel

Well, we are now home in Southern New Jersey. We were
on the "Empress of the Sea" which left Philadelphia, PA
on May 20 and arrived back to Philadelphia May 27. The
cruise was to Bermuda. What a beautiful island! What
made it so special was the EZ Rider Bicycle Tour. I am
a 64-year old retired office worker and my husband, also
retired, is 69 years young. We tried the bicycle tour
and loved it. Jason and Justin made it so special,
especially for me. Since I am not an experienced
cyclist, riding the EZ Rider bike was wonderful. I felt
like a kid again. Justin was so helpful. He made this
tour very special. They take good care of you and show
you a great time. Seeing Bermuda this way was extremely
spectacular. "Keep pedaling June," said Justin. I did
and it was great. When our friends ask us about our
trip, the highlight of the trip was the "EZ Rider
Tour."
Thanks.

Jason and Justin:
Just to say
again how much we enjoyed our EZRider tour with you on
April 26th last, when Celebrity's Zenith put into
Bermuda.
After a
disappointing, (due to the hustle and bustle of
traffic), first view of Bermuda via Hamilton, our tour
with you rewarded us with the view we were looking for
on Bermuda - a quiet cycle with a view of the island,
its beaches and picturesque homes as we had envisioned,
without the traffic.
As a couple
in our mid-seventies, who used to ride bicycles at
Hilton Head twenty years ago, the EZ Rider was
remarkably comfortable and easy, even on sandy grass. My
wife appreciated Justin's patient and gentle assistance
in getting used to the gearing, and the clever audio
system Jason uses to announce to narrate the route is
clever and unobtrusive.
We
consider it to have been the highlight of our
visit. Thanks!

Hey Guys,
We took the
tour last week and loved every minute of it. Lucky for
us that the tour using regular bikes was sold out.
Thanks so much for a wonderful and memorable adventure.
We're recommending your tour to everybody.

My husband and I just returned 2 long
weeks ago from paradise. We have tried for years and finally
went to Bermuda. One of our most enjoyable memories was of
our E Z Rider bike tour. We will someday return to the
island and we will ez bike again... thank you so much.

Hi again Jason and Justin,
This is Wayne and Dianne Mahar from Syracuse, NY. We were on
your E-Z Rider Bike Tour last Tuesday September 20th off the
Voyager of the Seas cruise ship.
I know we told you then, but I wanted to put it in writing
how fun and informative the tour was. Your tour was one of
the highlights of our trip to Bermuda!
The bikes were easy and fun to ride too, much better than
merely being driven around the streets in a tour bus.
Thanks again. We look forward to visiting Bermuda again in
the future, and will certainly book another E-Z Rider Bike
Tour with you.
Sincerely,
Wayne & Dianne Mahar

E Z Rider Electric Bicycle Sightseeing Tour
“This was one of the best times we’ve ever had. We had 12
people, many 50 years old or more, and no one had difficulty
with the bike ride. In fact, two of our group have old leg
injuries and one had hip replacement 5 months ago. The staff
and equipment were wonderful. The sites were breathtaking,
and we would recommend this tour to anyone. Please feel free
to use my name as a recommendation for future guest
reference for the E Z Rider Tour.”

"I just returned from the E Z Rider Electric Bike
Excursion. I am so excited and happy I was able to go on
this great excursion. The guides were a father and son team,
I believe the father's name was Jay. They were very
informative, polite, and such a pleasure to be with. They
treated us like family and were always looking out for our
safety. They took us through the back streets and showed us
things you can't see on a bus, train or boat. The real guts
of the Island, so to speak. It was a great way to see the
beauty and splendor of this beautiful Island. Along the way
they pointed out various points of interest, plant life,
everyday social life. The tour was so down to earth I felt
like I was home. The panoramic scenes they took us to could
only be reached by walking, or of course, biking. I would
highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to see
the Island up close. It was definitely the highlight of my
trip. I will never forget it. Please tell Jay and his son
they are doing a great job, they really enjoy what they are
doing and it definitely shows. Thank you very very much!"

Just returned from the 5/22/05 sailing of the Grandeur of
the Seas.
My sister, Linda and I booked your wonderful bike ride on
May 24 (Bermuda Day) with 2 other women (mother and
daughter) from PA. It was truly a great time and we've told
lots and lots of folk about it. ... I'll be sailing with
another group at the end of August. Hope to take the ride
again.

"On our first
trip to Bermuda, my Mom and I decided to begin our adventure
with E Z Rider! Upon our arrival we were greeted by our
awesome tour guides, Jay and Justin, who were extremely
helpful and made us feel at ease. They thoroughly explained
the instructions and welcomed any questions or concerns.
From the beginning to the end, the tour was not only
interesting and informative, but gave us the opportunity to
explore beautiful and spectacular areas of the Island that
we may not have discovered on our own. Young and old alike
will absolutely love this tour! Thanks Justin & Jay for a
very memorable experience!"

My husband & I had a fantastic time taking your guided
electric bicycle tour in Bermuda last week. Your tour was very
organized with sites to see that started at the Royal Naval
Dockyard at the Ferry Terminal and continued through many of
Bermuda's historic areas.
Perhaps you may remember me as the only person who managed
to take a fall on the tour & skinned my knee. You were so
kind to come to my rescue and follow me closely to the end
of the tour. Thank you for the special attention you gave to
me.
Back at home now, we have told everyone about the great time
we had with you, and taking your tour "is a must". We are
interested in buying an electric bike just like yours to
continue the fun experience of bike riding in our hilly NJ
neighborhood. Thank you again for the great time and the
special attention you gave to me.
Sincerely,
Alice Budd
P.S. Your web site is great and I enjoyed seeing the video
(3 times!). Now, I'll be humming the song all day!
