- Specialized infant seats are available
- Suitable for all physical fitness levels
- The electric bikes will take all of the hard work out of your ride. We routinely have riders that span the spectrum of age and fitness. The main requirement is that you be coordinated and fit enough to balance a 55-pound bike. A training and practice session is provided at the start of each tour. For people that would like to go on the tour but are not able to balance a bike, it is possible to arrange a ride on the back of one of our stretch cargo bikes that will be driven by another person in your party.
- Legally, you must be 16 years or older to operate an electric bike. Guides reserve the right to request proof of age of any rider. Riders should also be at least 5 feet tall to operate their own bike. Guests younger than 16 may ride as a passenger with an adult in their group on the back of one of our cargo bikes or in a child seat (for children ages 1-6 or up to 48.5 pounds).
- Tours are subject to favorable weather conditions. If there is light rain in the forecast but none at the start of the tour, we will decide together at the time of the tour whether to ride. We will provide rain ponchos and rain covers for the storage bags on the bikes to protect your belongings. If canceled due to poor weather, you will be given the option of an alternative date or full refund.
- Pets are not allowed on tours, please contact us with any questions or concerns.

Ana was AMAZING and the ebikes were so much fun! I had never been on an ebike before this trip and Ana made it comfortable and easy and NOT scary at all! I can't wait to try the ebikes in other cities that I travel to!

We were vacationing in the Asheville NC area and thought an E Bike Tour would be fun. We had never been on E Bikes before so we were excited to try them. Torin, our guide was absolutely wonderful. The tour started with introductions among our small group (total of 8 people). Then Torin explained how to use the E Bike along with great tips. He led us around Asheville, stopping at various locations to share its history and architecture. I felt safe and secure throughout the ride and the bikes were comfortable. Worth every penny. Added bonus, we saw a bear and her two cubs! Highly recommend! (FYI...I am 60 years old and my husband is 59.)

This bike tour is fun and full of beautiful scenery. The stop at Grove Park Inn was our favorite. The tour guide was personable and knowledgeable, as well as being a great story teller!
