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

We loved our electric bike tour! Torin gave us a lot of information as we rode through town and was a great guide! We really enjoyed stopping at some of the locations on our tour to go inside, like The Grove Park Inn and the Basilica of St. Lawerence. We had never ridden electric bicycles prior to this tour, so that was also a fun experience. It made pedaling up the hills so much easier. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone wanting to experience Asheville in a fun and unique way. We hope to take another tour next time we’re in Asheville!

These Electric Bikes are the perfect means to get around the hilly Asheville streets. Our tour guide and company owner, Torin was great. He provided many interesting details about the city in a friendly, but not overbearing way. He was also very flexible when we needed to change our start time. Highlights include visits to the Grove Park Inn, Basilica of St. Lawrence, City Hall, the Botanical Gardens and the Green Way near UNC Asheville. I will definitely do this tour again, when I bring my daughters to Asheville.

Turin is the owner operator of this tour company. He is a fabulous guide and we had a wonderful tour of Asheville. The bikes are very comfortable and easy to ride, even for hills. Turin is very knowledgeable and helpful and I highly recommend this for a family or small group when you are in Asheville.

Electro Bike Tours is planning a new route this spring, so please come back and ride with us again next time you are in Asheville! Torin
