Joost Wouters about Road bowling:

"Very overpriced. It's a fun activity with a group, but almost 10 euros p.p. for two balls and a scoreboard is very overpriced. Half is still more than enough."
Mike van den Wijngaart About Miscellaneous:

"Explanation and reception was top notch. Bike could be better, shifting did not go siepel and handles were too small of the XL. Otherwise cycled a nice tour. Thanks."
Paul Stienstra about E-chopper:

"Great explanation operation choppers and route. Stopover steakhouse definitely recommended. Just haven't received the deposit yet. Must be because of the weekend."
Desley Dekker - van den Dungen about E-chopper:
7

"The activity itself is very nice. Just a shame that the choppers were poorly maintained. 2 out of 3 choppers had problems with the battery. Therefore lost time on re plugging in and changing the chopper once. "
Manfred De Rooij About Mountain bike L to 1.85m:

"Friendly service, clear story. Mountain bike turned out to be not well maintained and had some glitches. Worn gears which made putting power on climbing impossible and even dangerous at times."
Destanny Partosoebroto-Lelipaly About Electric Bicycles:

"Fine bikes, nice routes, fine app, perfect service. We had a flat tire halfway through and immediate action was taken. Before we knew it, they came to help us! Definitely recommended so"
Linze Rijswijk About Mountain bike L to 1.85m:

"I find it crazy that in the off-season it was not possible to move the activity one day. My idea is that proprietary rules take precedence over customer satisfaction. Some flexibility in renting three bikes in a rainy week does not seem too much to me. "
Wessel Oomen About Mountain bike L to 1.85m:
7

"Nice mountain bike trail (blue). Unfortunately, the front and rear brakes of the mountain bike we rented were in need of maintenance. On descents the rear brake did not perform well enough when squeezed all the way. A tip for the branch in Otterlo to give the brakes a good once-over. Other than that it was a good mountain bike. "
Simone van Kippersluis About Miscellaneous:

"I would not book here but spontaneously decide to go because if within 72 hours in advance it turns out that the weather is going to be so tremendously bad (inclement, soaking wet day -St. Nicholas entry) then there is no way to reschedule so we got soaking wet in half an hour and then turned right around because it was just irresponsible to go on the road like this with incessant downpours and strong winds which was also warned about on TV. No customer-oriented/ flexible way of working, no empathy, no rain gear offered, in short: not a nice experience for us so no reason to come back here again!"
Marc Vermeulen About Miscellaneous:

"Incredibly fun to explore the Veluwe with e-choppers. However, we were unlucky that 1 of the choppers broke down in the middle of the heath. However, employees were very helpful and brought a working e-chopper. After about an hour we were able to get on again and were able to use the choppers for an extra long time. Choppers showed some other defects besides this breakdown like to unload, cracked mirrors and lame scooters. All in all had a lot of fun and would do it again in a heartbeat."

"I liked the mountain bike and was helped very well. It was nice that I had the possibility to return the mtb a little later. However, I do recommend that in the future you inform customers (also on the website) that in the National Park it is only allowed to ride on the paved roads. That was quite a bummer for me, in fact, when I found that out."

"Fine outing for the kids. Nice and challenging. Made it to game 3 both times. Last time was only game 1"
Kyara Kerseboom About Mountain bike L to 1.85m:

"The mountain biking was hearty fun with nice routes, though a bit hard to find, the company itself was not that impressive, the helmets we were given to borrow stank intensely of sweat and there were still hairs in them from other people, not very fresh. Furthermore, we had a moderate explanation of the mountenbike itself. Staff otherwise not very enthusiastic or interested."

"Top afternoon with kids from 7 to 13 years old, with fun games in and around the maze. They had a great time and so did we as parents. Very nice idea, in terms of the idea behind it with the Romans it would have made more sense in a place somewhere around the former limes, but that's a side note. We didn't really have a good idea of what to expect, but it definitely turned out positively! "

"*Have asked if there were dog carrier bikes. Was told yes, but was just for kids, had to lift a 35 kg golden retriever in and out every time. *Was just on the road we had to go back for another saddle, this one moved in all directions. To the front , back, left and right. Just bad. *The gear was also not right , almost have to go to the gym to get the gear in a lower position. Switching up sometimes worked , sometimes not *Also had to ask if the tires could be inflated, was not done *Had to call the store again during a stop to ask for the numbers for the lock, was not told when the bike was handed over. *The support stopped, even after replacing a 2nd battery provided. So rode about 7km without support. Can tell you not pleasant with a Bakfiets (Dutch cargo bike) and a dog of 35kg in it. *On return we got no money back or a part, but a voucher. Very nice if you leave the day after! All in all a VERY SLOW experience with the Veluwe specialist. will NOT RECOMMEND the store to others. Complaints are handled poorly with a voucher. "

"Normally we always give a 10 today it's an 8 we were in the middle of the woods with a dead battery. Luckily they arrived fairly quickly with a new battery and gave us a bag of chips. Very nice! Personally we expected to get an extra credit on our return we had quite a lot of problems with a dead battery (rode very slowly, did not come up a hill you really had to get off and when it was completely empty another 2 km with a clumsy walking bike walked uphill to a wider place for other cyclists not to be a nuisance. Will we come back again? Certainly this will not keep us away it is far too nice and beautiful. "

"You offer cargo bikes suitable for dogs. This was disappointing, the Bakfiets (Dutch cargo bike) was not really nice for the dog. No boarding possibility ( door is actually just necessary with larger dogs) so we had to lift ( 38 kg!). Also the bench that was in it makes the space considerably smaller. Maybe it is useful to indicate whether you take children or dog? And with dog what size? So that the Bakfiets (Dutch cargo bike) is adjusted. Also a non-slip mat was missing. I have also asked beforehand and at pickup about possibilities to let loose along the route, unfortunately you could not give that information. And what was told was not correct. Would be a fantastic service if that could also be indicated during the ride, or in advance."

"Super fun to do, do find that the fenders rattled very much on the unpaved and less good trails. Couple of years back when the e scooters were new I didn't have that experience, das the only downside , the we made so much noise and I still think that's a shame you experience the forest so less and the fellow road users are not so happy with it either."
Serina Jansen-Eijkenboom About Electric Bicycles:

"Good, sweet, clear staff. Easy to install app with routes and junctions listed on it. High lights were on it. Totally fantastic "
Mrs. E.S. Luijten about E-chopper:

"We rented 2 e-choppers, one of which did not work right at the start. We were allowed to exchange it for a new one. Along the way both e-choppers had some hiccups (gas didn't work sometimes), but all in all we had a nice trip. With an app we could easily follow the route. Along the way there was time for a drink at Mossel Farm/Theatery".

"I am afraid that next year it will not be responsible in the forests and moors, because of the wolf. There are more and more of them, more and more packs, and it has already been proven that the predator is really not that shy. The animal is strictly protected, with far-reaching consequences, unfortunately! A good friend of mine was chased by the predator on her bicycle for some time last week in the woods near Otterlo. Fortunately several cyclists came, otherwise she would not have lived to tell about it."

"Lap bike rented. It takes a lot of getting used to at first, but gradually you become more confident and go full "throttle". The time could have been longer for me to have more rest to sit somewhere or take pictures."

"The MTB track was very nice. Only because the bike was so bad we couldn't enjoy this. The sprockets were completely worn out. So when you cycled up a hill your chain skipped and you had to get off. In addition, the bike shifted by itself so you couldn't rely on the gears. "

Michel ter Braak About Miscellaneous:

"Very fun to do, also drove a very nice route. But the batteries we were given were already half full when we left. We did have two spare batteries with us, but even those turned out not to be full. So all in all, we drove with 4 batteries empty. Luckily we could be pushed by e-choppers, otherwise we would have had to wait half an hour in the blood heat for new batteries to be delivered. 2 of the 6 e-choppers had dead batteries. "
Theo van Eeuwijk About Miscellaneous:

"We were extremely kindly helped and despite the fact that I actually hate bikes myself this was a fantastic day. The bikes went like a rocket, mine rattled a bit but that's all there is to it. We were advised the Bos en Hei route and the lady in question did it justice. A beautiful walk through the woods with as a surprise the purple moor as the song says. In short, absolutely worth repeating. "
