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.
Pets are not allowed on tours, please contact us with any questions or concerns.

This was the most fun activity in Asheville by far. We rented a couple of ebikes with family and did a self-guided tour of the city on our own. They also offer guided tours which would be excellent. The owners were super nice and helpful with our reservation and rental. The bikes are a breeze; no effort required at all, unless you want to! Totally recommend The Flying Bike!

It starts with the vibes. From the minute you enter the space at The Flying Bike the stage is set for a really fun experience. Plenty of friendly help was on hand to guide us through the waiver process to selecting a helmet. The owner Torin welcomed us and shared his personal story of entrepreneurship as well as his love of Asheville and e-biking. Then he did something purposeful and amazing - he memorized everyone in our large group’s name before giving us our ground training and taking us into the streets of Asheville. Clearly, this business is more than renting bikes to him and it shows. As far as the bike and tour go - 10 out of 10. He explained how the bikes work, how to use the gears, throttle and brakes and had us all practice in the lot. Our group was large and he had 3 other team members with us in the tour to make sure everyone was safe and having fun. The bikes were really fun, smooth and easy to ride. And clean and well cared for. I was intimidated at first - but got the hang of it right away. Our kids are 10 and 14. We rented the cargo bikes which were easy to carry a passenger on. There is a comfy padded saddle and platforms for their feet and a rail to hold onto to. If I am being honest, my 14 yr old daughter wasn’t exactly thrilled with that. Obviously, she wanted her own bike and felt embarrassed to have to ride behind dad. I liked having my 10 year old behind me so we could enjoy the tour together and talk about what we were seeing. Asheville is so pretty and the history is super interesting. Torin loves sharing the history he knows. We would never have seen all we did if we had just done the rental. The tour was the way to go for us. Don’t miss this Asheville treasure when you visit.

I was nervous that I would be let down for the amount of money I paid for this tour, but Omg, I got my money’s worth plus some!!! This is a must for people visiting Asheville. I’d definitely do it again, with no hesitation. Our tour guide, Brian, made everything fun and he was very knowledgeable about the city. The bikes themselves were fun and made me feel alive. We were able to get a feel for the city all while having fun.
