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

My husband and I took a tour with The Flying Bike. It was one of our favorite things we did our entire trip. The owner guided our tour, and when the other party he catered our ride to us. We loved seeing the sights, and had wonderful conversations with our guide. I would love to come back with the rest of the family and do it again. The only suggestion I would make is do it at the beginning of the trip. You pick up a lot of helpful suggestions on things to do and places to see in Asheville. Thank you, Toren!

My husband and I take an electric bike tour in every new city we visit! This was no different and a perfect tour to add to the list! You see the city in a new perspective on these tours! The scenery’s was perfect ( fall leaves in November) and we got great insight on places we wouldn’t have thought to visit. Torin was great and very friendly and the bikes were safe and easy to use. Would highly recommended to anyone visiting and wanting to try something different for a city tour!

Our party of three spent an enjoyable Sunday afternoon touring with Elsa and three others. The bikes were super, more like scooters as you didn't even really have to pedal if you didn't want to, and made taking the many hills a breeze. Elsa has a degree in cultural anthropology, and her knowledge and love of her city really added to the experience. We biked through leafy neighborhoods we would not have seen otherwise, taking in the fall color and gorgeous weather. A highlight was a trip up to the historic Grove Park Inn for a spectacular view and a brief walk through to see the interesting historical artifacts and local displays, including one on an annual gingerbread house contest they have there with photos of fantastic creations that entrants spend over 500 hours working on (they look nothing like any gingerbread house I've ever seen). Great way to get a little exercise, fresh air, and learn about a beautiful and interesting city.

Thanks so much Elizabeth! I love the photos that you shared! The mural on Coxe Avenue has quickly become a point of interest on our street and it was an excellent example of a project that we participated in to make our city more safe for pedestrians and cyclists while also adding some beauty to the block! Thanks for sharing the kind words about Ailsa. We are so happy to have her working with us and sharing her knowledge of Asheville with our guests! We are also excited to see the next round of gingerbread homes at the Omni Grove Park Inn coming up in a couple weeks. They always leave us amazed! Please come ride with us again the next time you come to Asheville! We promise there will be more adventures to come! Torin
