"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."

"Friendly staff. I personally find the route according to the numbered nodes more difficult to follow to cycle nice and relaxed ipv Google maps.... We ended up doing that and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings "

"Very positive, 3rd time renting at the Veluwe Specialist 2x in Otterlo 1x in Harderwijk. All times walked in with pleasure and returned home satisfied. Friendly staff, nice routes, good bikes and batteries. In short, worth repeating. Keep up the good work. "

"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."

"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:
8

"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".

"Moderate quality bikes. One of the regular e-bikes had the defect that the battery kept coming loose so the support kept shutting off. The electric Bakfiets (Dutch cargo bike) rattled tremendously, in addition the locking system for the rain cover was broken. A bit disappointing. "

"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."
Jeroen koelewijn About Mountain bike L to 1.85m:

"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. "

"Activities we didn't do (so that figure doesn't apply) we rented bikes, got clear explanations! Bikes were fine and when we were in Hoenderloo with a dead battery the staff who happened to be there (store is closed after August) were kind enough to exchange it. Great company!"

X Otter About Miscellaneous:

"Not pleasant bikes, problems with almost all bikes and already had to exchange two in the beginning due to flat tire at departure and chain that was not right. Instruction very poor and not appropriate for all bikes, which were different in the group. "
Mrs. Verna Abbo about E-chopper:

"Fantastic day we had. The weather also cooperated excellently. Lovely tour through beautiful surroundings. Only downside was the crowded bike paths. "
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. "

Lianne wisman about E-chopper:

"Incredibly fun e-chopper tour done! Tip for the staff is to take a moment to indicate how much time you have along the way for the break! That we came back a little late due to a too-canny break was fortunately not a problem. Route is fantastic especially now that the heather is so in bloom!"

Mrs. S van Dillen about E-chopper:

"The route was not clearly marked because the road was being worked on and signs with numbers were not visible everywhere. In addition, there was an event with (solex) mopeds, over 500 were riding in the opposite direction so we could not ride normally and were forced onto the dirt road. Dangerous situations arose, also at the road works. Because of all these obstacles, we had nowhere to stop to take a break and were only just back in time. "
Jeanne Thomassen about E-chopper:

"It was really a lot of fun. Only downside was that the battery sometimes came loose. We think that could be easily fixed and we would then rate the outing with a 10."

Manon van Manen about E-chopper:

"What a fun activity! This morning my father and I rented two e-choppers in Garderen; what a beautiful setting. 2 hours and 45 we were given time and that was more than enough. We were only not told at the explanation that we could download an app that helped us with the route etc, we found this out later ourselves. Otherwise everything was well organized and we were quickly helped when we lost our way. "

"Super fun activity, beautiful route with a combo of forest, heath and villages. We would love to come back with our little daughters, I'm sure they will love it too. Just before returning my chopper didn't do anything anymore. Is a point of attention."
Friso Jongejan About E-bikes:

"Unfortunately, we didn't get a good understanding of how to do the quiz along the way and we had a dead battery 2x along the way. Fortunately the app tells you what to do then and they came quickly to bring a new battery. With the first dead battery, the employee also had a spare one with him for the road, which was our luck. Most importantly, we had a lot of fun and the staff is otherwise very friendly and helpful. We will definitely visit again! "

"After about 2 km, a battery did not seem to make a good contact. The support fell off every time. Pushing against the battery did help, but temporarily. After 100 meters the battery failed again. So we drove back. We were kindly helped and got a new scooter. This is the second time we did this activity in Otterlo and again we had a dead battery at the end. Well you can go call and have to wait a while. We just pedaled and walked the last part (from the Mossel) anyway. So there are problems with the batteries! This was also admitted by one of the employees. A very fun activity, but hassle with the batteries does put a damper on this afternoon. "
Tinka van den Berg About E-bikes:

Heleen Schuurmans About Miscellaneous:

"There was a button on the battery which affected the on/off position. It would have been handy if this had been pointed out because now we couldn't leave on the second day. we first went back by the lending office on Tuesday. Well nice that I could rent a bike then that could sit up just a little straighter. Other than that, cycled nicely."

"Very old electric bikes with very low frames over 10 years old,they only have old bikes with front wheel drive, no center axle drive . they don't say anything about this on the website. So for 27.50 paid way too expensive. Not recommended. Advice modernize bike park "

"We (2 boys ages 5 and 7 and their mom) found Fort Vertier to be a really super fun outing! Finding your way through the maze is really not easy and the sign game makes it fun to find your way again afterwards. The jump/free fall from 1 of the towers was definitely the highlight for my boys; they did this many more times when our time was up; we were there on a very quiet day. It was a pity that we could not finish the board game (possibly for a fee), but if it is really busy I also understand that this might be necessary to keep flow. We will definitely come back again!"

Sacha Koppenol About Miscellaneous:

"Too bad we got an ebike with front-wheel drive. This is especially dangerous for older people like my mother. Too bad there were no quick-release straps on 1 bike. And with the same bike (because of the battery) no bicycle bag (taken from home) could be placed on it. Your price is somewhat higher than with other bike rental companies, while other rental companies have better bikes. About the employees only to good to report. "
Judith Tonnaer-Souverijn:

"Our kids (ages 10 and 12) had a super good time. They really liked the games and were very motivated and enthusiastic. The welcome and explanations were very nicely done. Staff was very friendly and attentive. We had a top afternoon!"
