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 had such a great time on the electric bike tour and Torin was an excellent guide. It was such a fun way to see the sights of Asheville. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Thanks so much for your great review! I love the concept of an Urban Adventure. I think it's a fitting description for what we are offering our guests! You get the thrills of an e-bike combined with the freedom to explore Asheville in the open air! We'd love to have you back for another adventure the next time you are in town. We plan to add some new tours for next season and renting is another way you can get off the beaten path! Torin

Connection is one of our core values and I definitely felt that was achieved on our ride together. Of course I'd be thrilled to ride with you again when you come back to Asheville and we are planning some exciting new tours for next season, so don't hesitate to get in touch! Torin

We loved the Flying Bike electric bike experience so much we're tempted to buy some electric bikes of our own! My wife and I visited Asheville for the first time and wanted to see the area and we love bike tours. We have done bike tours during many of our previous vacations in other cities and were a little worried to do one in Asheville since the area is hilly and steep in some areas. We were concerned it would be too strenuous and wouldn't be enjoyable, but the concierge at the Grove Park Inn suggested the electric bikes and we thought we'd give it a try. It turned out to be the perfect way to see the town and we had so much fun on the electric bikes. The tour started with a brief introduction by Torin, and then an explanation of how the bikes worked. The bikes allowed you to use a Pedal Assist mode where the electric power was automatically used while you pedaled to make the pedaling easier, and there was also a twist throttle on the right handle bar which you could use when you didn't want to pedal at all. It was a very intuitive system and after a couple laps around the parking lot we were all pretty comfortable with the system. Torin took us through the downtown area with a brief stop at a church, then we rode out to the Grove Park Inn. The hills were no problem on the bikes, and you could choose to get a workout, or you could just relax and let the bike do all the work. We liked the Pedal Assist option, but the throttle was handy, especially when you were trying to get going from a full stop going up a hill. Torin made sure everyone was comfortable on the bikes, did an awesome job keeping everyone together and safe, and he was a great tour guide and had some unique stories and insights regarding Asheville. My wife and I enjoyed the tour and thought it was the most fun part of our trip to Asheville.

Wow Shawn! Thanks for writing such an incredible detailed review! I especially love to see that this was the best part of your trip to Asheville and that you are now e-bike converts! I take both as huge compliments! Thanks for giving such a great rundown of the preparation and the tour! You've almost got enough detail in there to be a guide for us! Seriously though, I had a great time riding with the two of you and am really humbled by all the kind things you have to say! I would love to ride with you again the next time you are in Asheville and by next season we plan to have some new tours to share more of our favorite places with you! Torin
