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

First time on electric bikes - so much fun. My husband didn’t even pedal! Torin gave really safe and eye opening educational tour! Small group. Beautiful sights and plenty cool facts. He even provides water - thoughtful touch. Now we know where to eat downtown- plenty of tips shared. Good luck with your new business!

We enjoyed a wonderful tour of Asheville this afternoon with Torin. It was a beautiful trip and very informative. Torin was an amazing tour guide and the bikes were fun and easy to ride. Even though our 8 year-pls son didn’t get his own bike, he still enjoyed riding on the back of my husband’s. Wonderful day! Highly recommended!

Thanks so much for the great review guys! I had a great time riding with you too! I'm so glad to hear you all enjoyed the ride and I hope my dinner recommendation for the Salvage Station was also a hit with the whole family! We are looking forward to adding new tours and hopefully, by next year we will even have one especially for kids. Please come back and ride with us again next time you are in Asheville! Torin
