It holds 11 people, 8 pedaling, 3 riding and is $250 for 2 hours.
I've done it with my softball team and we had a blast. It is just like in a golf cart, no open containers. They start up around beef o'bradys and go to sumter and stop at 2 or 3 places for people to get off and grab a drink.

They are also on facebook. I heard that in January they are going to do scavenger hunts and poker runs where people can book single seats.

Oh another thing we loved about this one, the one we did in Tavares was pedal powered ONLY. Our legs were killing us! On this one, when we didn't want to pedal, we hollered and the driver engaged the electric motor!
Thanks spring_chicken. Home

I think it would be fun to get a group together and go on it

I just saw on their website where they have an outing this thursday that looks pretty fun. A villages athletic competition, of sorts, where they stop at rec centers and everyone competes at different villages games. Not sure what the prizes are but it's a way for people to go without having to get up a group of 11.

I saw this one in Budapest in June. They were pedaling, music was playing and they were drinking beer.

I did see they have them in European cities as well as some in the US.

so it's a fun way to get drunk before being returned to your cars and carts? sounds like 'fun'. can't wait till the police show their appreciation by waiting in the parking lot for your return with a breathalyzer.

There may be some taxis going to Southern Trace Plaza to drop people off.

My son and a group of 14 had a blast on a Pedal Bar in Raleigh, NC. Knowing there would be plenty of drinking along the way, they all took Uber to and from the Party. It is a new world - pedal bars and uber!

Did this in Denver with childhood girlfriends when we turned 60. What a blast!. And yes, we had a designated driver.

They were on the cart path by The Palmer Country Club heading to Sumter Landing the other night.

Why do this when you can get happy hours drinks at the Square!

We even have them in conservative, backwards Cincinnati!

They do get happy hour drinks at the square. They make 2 or 3 stops during the 2 hour party. As has been previously mentioned, open container laws apply to the party bike. It's just like being in your golf cart.
People do it to have fun with a group. My softball team had a blast when we did it.

Why would a business be allowed to use the MMP's?

For the same reason that the Liquid Lights BUSINESS cart is allowed to use them??
The bike has an electric motor to aid the people pedaling. Would you prefer they do 10 mph on Buena Vista?
