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

Tour was awesome, very well planned and with great patience teaching us how to ride the electric bikes and allowed us time to become comfortable.

Thanks so much for the review! We are so happy to hear that you felt that your guide was patient and caring! These bikes are a ton of fun, and we know most of our guests haven't ridden them before, so we put a lot of effort into getting you comfortable enough to just relax and enjoy the ride! We'd love to have you come back again sometime soon and see the new tours that we are planning for next season!

We were unable to fit in a scheduled tour during our visit so we decided to do our own bike tour of Asheville and ended up renting bikes from The Flying bike. The electric bikes were great and Torin did a very thorough job explaining how the bikes worked so we were all very comfortable before we ventured out on our own. He also was extremely well educated about where we should ride or not ride and the areas we should stop. There were some great paved bike paths and we had a terrific afternoon.

Thanks so much for the awesome review! I'm so glad that you ended up enjoying your ride even though we weren't able to get you on a tour! There is really a ton to see in Asheville so making good recommendations is ridiculously easy, and the bike paths and greenways here just keep getting better and better! We'd love to have you come back and ride with us on the tour that you missed or even join one of the new ones we are planning for next season! We have lots left to show you! Torin

Flying Bike Tours provided us with a wonderful view of Asheville on October 9. Elsa, our guide, was the best!! She really knew her history of the city and made sure the group made it safely to each stop and throughout the entire tour. This tour exceeded our expectations!! We really didn't know how good it was going to be, but we would highly recommend this family owned tour business and look forward to our next visit to Asheville so we can tour the city again with The Flying Bike!

Thanks so much for the rave review! We agree that Ailsa is the best! She has proven that she loves sharing Asheville with our guests and really cares about everyone she rides with! We're so glad that the tour exceeded your expectations and would love to have you ride with us again! We are planning more exciting tours for next season, so come ride with us again the next time you are in town and we will set the bar even higher! Torin
