Pine Nut Cycle Café Is Now Pine Nut Ebike Rentals
Pine Nut Cycle Café Is Now Pine Nut Ebike Rentals
For many years, Pine Nut was known as Pine Nut Cycle Café — a place where guests could rent bikes and fuel up before exploring South Lake Tahoe. As ebike rentals continued to grow rapidly across the region, Pine Nut naturally evolved into the leading ebike rental destination in South Lake Tahoe.
Reaching that level required clarity, consistency, and full dedication. To continue delivering the best ebike experience possible, we made the intentional decision to focus exclusively on electric bike rentals and the Pine Nut riding experience.
Today, we are proud to officially operate as Pine Nut Ebike Rentals.
Why We Made the Change
South Lake Tahoe has become one of the best places in the country to explore by ebike. From beach cruising and bike paths to scenic lake rides and neighborhood adventures, ebikes allow more people to experience Tahoe in an easy, fun, and accessible way.
By discontinuing our cold-pressed juice bar operations, we were able to:
Expand our ebike fleet
Improve the rental experience
Focus fully on rider comfort and safety
Offer better service, faster turnarounds, and more availability
This shift allows us to give 100% of our attention to ebike rentals — and that focus shows in the experience we provide every day.
What Stayed the Same
While our focus is now entirely on ebikes, a few things have always remained at the heart of Pine Nut:
The same local ownership
The same Emerald Bay Road location
The same friendly, knowledgeable team
The same passion for helping people explore Tahoe on two wheels
If you’ve rented with us before, you’ll recognize the experience — it’s simply more focused, more refined, and fully centered around ebikes now.
From Here Forward: Pine Nut Ebike Rentals
Going forward, you’ll see our business listed everywhere as Pine Nut Ebike Rentals — on Google, on maps, on your receipts, and online. This change helps keep things clear for our guests, especially visitors searching for the best ebike rentals in South Lake Tahoe.
If you were searching for Pine Nut under the old name, you’re still in the right place — we’ve just evolved.
