A surf shop and rental outfit in Coldstream, BC, best known in reviews for e-bike rentals on the Okanagan Rail Trail along Kalamalka and Wood lakes, with friendly, helpful staff.
What visitors say
Kalavida Surf Shop is listed as a surf shop and water sports rental service in Coldstream, near Vernon, but the recent reviews are almost all about its e-bike rentals. The shop sits close to the Okanagan Rail Trail, and riders like being able to roll straight onto the path along the lake.
Staff get consistent praise for a smooth setup: seats adjusted, the e-assist settings explained and route ideas offered. The bikes are described as in good condition, and one rider noted about two of five battery bars left after a 37 km outing. Rental lengths mentioned range from two to four hours, with a full day also available.
A popular ride goes from the shop to Oyama, with stops at Oyama Beach and around Wood Lake. Visitors mention eagles and other birds along the way. It suits couples, families and travellers who want an easy scenic ride without hauling their own bikes.
The only real caution is that the rail trail is dusty, so expect you and the bike to pick some up. If you plan a longer four-hour ride, ask about battery range before you set out.
