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 a lot of questions before booking this tour. It's an unusually hot day in Asheville. Asheville is really hilly? I have never ridden an electric bike. None of those mattered. After a short briefing and a trial run we were off on a great tour of Asheville. It was so much better than trying to ever the 10 miles on foot or by bus. Asheville is a beautiful city and the Flying Bike let us see it up close. Our tour guide was wonderful...helpful...excited to share Asheville with us...knowledgeable...caring. This was such a great way to see Asheville. The Bikes are easy to learn and give you as much "help" as you need or as little. Perfect!

Thanks so much for the excellent review! I'm always happy to answer questions over the phone and I'm glad you made the decision to come out and try our tour! I couldn't agree more that electric bikes are the perfect way to see Asheville! They really make the hills fun to climb and this City is best experienced outdoors! I'm so glad you had such a good time! Please come back and ride with us again the next time you are in town! Torin

E-bikes are really fun, especially in Asheville with all the hills. Great guide, well-curated route and great historical and architectural tour of Asheville.

My sisters and I were in Asheville for a special birthday celebration recently. Our bike tour through the hills of Asheville with Torin guiding us and skillfully sharing the history of the area, was a highlight of our week! The ebikes were super easy and such a fun way to cover ground and see as much as you can in a morning. I will never visit a new city and not rent an ebike to experience it again! Thank you, Torin! You added so much to the fun ride with the knowledge of Asheville that you shared with us! I highly recommend that you do this tour when you visit Asheville! Theresa Mette

Wow! Thanks for the amazing review and recommendation, Theresa! You were such a fun family to ride with and I am really touched to know that your ride with me was a highlight of your trip! I know you were looking into getting an e-bike when you got home. I hope you do and get to experience your own city up close with as much joy as you did in Asheville! We are planning a new tour so come ride with us again the next time you are in town! Torin
