Fender Blender Pro
No one is responsible for bringing as many Bike Blended Smoothies into the world as Rock The Bike. We invented the Fender Blender, the only bike blender on the market. We have successfully produced all-day smoothie booths at festivals such as Whole Earth Festival, Maker Faire, Pedalfest, and Harmony, and we regularly blend at our Pedal Powered Stage music events to keep the pedalers happy and cool during peak moments.
“We would like to thank Rock The Bike for allowing us to rent out smoothie bikes for this year’s FunFest at the SF Giants’ AT&T Park! We managed to serve over 2,200 smoothies and received more thanks and smiles than we could have ever asked for. This was a first for LIFT and you helped us pull it off! Thanks again for working with us in such short notice and for helping us make this past weekend a success!” –Sincerely, The LIFT Team
A Bike Blender makes a huge impact at your event. The sound of ice crushing is a great head turner, and research shows that pedal power makes smoothies taste better.
Our event clients most commonly rent the Fender Blender Pro and man their own blender stations. Rock The Bike can also help you with a fully staffed smoothie station.
Rental cost $250 / day without Rock the Bike crew. It comes with a commercial-grade High Performance blender pitcher, either Vitamix or Blendtec. Extra pitchers can be rented for $20 per event day. We recommend a couple practice rounds before the day of your event.
We estimate the cost of ingredients to be $1 per 12 oz. smoothie.
Client is responsible for pickup and drop off, which can occur the day before and the day after your event. The Fender Blender Pro is available for pickup in our Oakland shop for local renters.
The Fender Blender Pro can be shipped and rented in other cities. It was designed with a detachable frame feature that allows us to ship it at reasonable rates while being easy to setup. For out of town rentals, we package and ship the Fender Blenders to you, so they arrive the day before your event, then you ship them back the day after your event. The rental rate is $250 per event day + cost of shipping both ways (usually $150 – $250 per bike in the continental US) and a packaging fee of $85. If our rental schedule permits it, we often work with clients to waive the transit days and only charge for the days of use. Return shipping labels are included.
If you want a Rock The Bike crew member to be there coaching this activity at your event, the crew fee is $720 / day, plus $425 / day for each additional crew member. Our crew will make sure the smoothies are tasty, the bike is set up properly, and that many event participants get a chance to take part. The cost of crew does not include the rental fee or cost of ingredients. For more smoothies, we recommend renting extra pitchers ($20 each), too.
Fender Blender Bike Blenders are also available for purchase from Rock the Bike, starting at $249.

Pedal Powered Spin Art
Great for smaller kids, who will be able to power the experience for each other. Spin Art is interactive, colorful, creative, peaceful, and inspiring.
With just a few pedal strokes, you can get the platter of your Pedal Powered Spin Art station spinning at 5000-10000 RPM, enough to produce dazzling spirals, circles, and streaks as you squirt paint on the paper.
Kids flock to the station, staring in awe as the colors spin and splatter across the paper. Older kids or parents can pedal for youngsters. Children as young as seven can enjoy this activity. Let them bring home artwork and memories from your event!
Rental cost is $350 / day per unit without Rock the Bike crew. We’ll provide you with tempera paint and a drying method. You’ll need standard 8.5″ x 11″ paper, or you can also use your own with the company letterhead, or a stamp with your logo on it!
Client is responsible for pickup and dropoff, which can occur the day before and the day after your event. We can arrange for pick up in our Oakland shop or in San Francisco.
Like the Fender Blender Pro, Spin Art can be shipped and rented in other cities. For out of town rentals, we package and ship the bike and Spin Art attachment to you, so they arrive the day before your event, then you ship them back the day after your event. The out-of-town rental rate is $350 per event day + cost of shipping both ways (usually $150 – $250 per unit in the continental US) and a packaging fee of $100. Return shipping labels are included.
Are you planning to host a long event, or do you expect hundreds of participants? If so we can provide you with refill paint to keep the activity going. Additional paint is $50 for 1 – 2 Spin Art Bikes, or $100 for 3+ Spin Art Bikes, + increased shipping cost.
Alternatively you can hire a Spin Art Station $1,080 / day for paint, paper, and one Rock the Bike crew member. For high-volume events additional crew members are $425 / each. If your event is beyond biking distance there will be a transportation fee. If your event is not driving distance from the Bay Area there will be additional crew fees for travel, room + board.

Approved partners can rent the Ice Cream Bike without crew members for $500 / day. Also available to rent through Ample Hills Creamery in Brooklyn, New York.

Pedal Powered Stage
If you truly want to showcase human power in its most social form, getting your event participants to power up a band, street performer, speaker, or DJ is probably the most powerful example there is. Bringing the Pedal Powered Stage to your event is a more significant effort, requiring a larger crew. We have full audio packages for Pedal Powered Stages.
Price: TBD – For a quote answer these questions and email your replies to us at info@newsite.https://rockthebike.com
