Additional Info
  • 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.
  • Social distancing enforced throughout experience
  • Gear/equipment sanitised between use
  • Guides required to regularly wash hands
  • Contactless payments for gratuities and add-ons

I so enjoyed my first tour with Torin Kexel,( co-owner and lead guide of The Flying Bike - Electric Bike Tours) six months ago that I wanted my husband to have the same experience on our recent visit to Asheville. Once again, Torin did not disappoint! The equipment was in excellent condition, the operating instructions were clear, and we had practice time on the bikes before we took to the streets. The tour hit many highpoints of Asheville, including the St. Lawrence Basilica, Grove Park Inn, The Greenways, the Montford District, and downtown. Torin is a font of information on the wonderful architecture and rich history of Asheville. He also has many recommendations for food and activities. His love for Asheville and joy of riding make this a truly rich experience. This is a great way to see Asheville and get a feel for its charm while enjoying the fresh mountain air! A must-do for any visit to Asheville!

Torin and Alice were great tour guides. The bike ride was awesome. Saw parts of the City we never would have explored on our own. Torin shared the history of the city at each stop. Schedule the tour at the beginning of our stay so Torin can share great restaurants and other places to visit. Would encourage anyone visiting Asheville to do this tour !

The Fying Bike tour was the highlight of my trip to Asheville! My only regret is that I didn't schedule it at the beginning of my trip. Torin gave me so many incredible recommendations that I'm already planning a return visit with a full itinerary! Torin and Elsa were top notch guides with extensive knowledge of all things Asheville and were a joy to ride alongside and talk to. I would recommend a Flying Bike tour as a MUST do on any trip to Asheville!
