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

The Flying Bike

Join us on a fun-filled and informative bike ride around Asheville!

We’ll take the peaceful Reed Creek Greenway as we climb through North Asheville neighborhoods up to the historic Grove Park Inn to get a magnificent view from the Sunset Terrace. • Heading back downtown, we’ll stop in Pack Square, a perfect vantage point to learn about Asheville’s abundant art-deco architecture, the 2nd largest collection in the U.S. We will share stories of Asheville's recent history, its challenges and triumphs.

The electric bike tour was the perfect thing for our first days in Asheville. It was fun, easy, beautiful, and Torin told us about 20 things we would never have learned on our own -- everything from the history of the city, where to find the best burger, and the secret to parking at the Biltmore Estates. I'd give this tour an eleven if I could.

I can't think of any better outcome I'd rather have our riders experience! If you come back to town in the future please look us up again because we are planning an exciting new route to be able to share more of our amazing city starting this spring! Torin

Thank you for writing such a great review and recommendation! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the route and the electric bikes! We feel like it's a great way to enjoy seeing a lot of Asheville's neighborhoods and historic sites without having to worry that you won't be able to make it up the hills. Electro Bike Tours is planning to add another route by next spring so please come back with the whole family and ride with us again! Torin

My wife and I are both semi-retired and were somewhat apprehensive about an 8 mile bike ride. The electric bikes made it so easy to do! You get your exercise in, but are not exhausted after completing the tour. I would recommend for all ages.
