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

Excellent! The owner Torin was an awesome tour guide. The bike are so easy to ride on the hills in Asheville. My wife has a rare condition in her feet called RSD. Just walking is very painful for her. The bikes were so great for us because she was able to experience Asheville in a way not previously possible. We loved it so much that we are now shopping for ebikes.

Thanks so much for your review and for making Electro Bike Tours a part of your inspiring story with RSD! I really enjoyed my ride with you two and I'm glad you enjoyed the tour enough to look into getting your own electric bikes! We really feel like electric bikes are a way for people to experience the freedom of riding a bike without the exertion that might make it too difficult for some! We hope to have a new tour by next spring so please come back and ride with us again! Torin

My husband and I are in our late 60s and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Asheville on an electric bike. We felt very safe and loved seeing the Grove Park Inn, Asheville neighborhoods, and getting a tour of downtown historic sites. Our guide was very attentive and interesting, with many good recommendations about the local food and sites.

Thanks for writing such a great review! I'm glad you felt so safe! That is one of our highest priorities! I also love sharing my recommendations with our guests! There are so many excellent places to eat in Asheville that after talking about my favorite restaurants while riding, I always end up with cravings at the end of a tour! Electro Bike Tours hopes to add even more great sites and information into a new tour offering by next spring so please come back and ride with us again! Torin

This is a great way to see all areas of Asheville without any hard pedaling. Torren was a knowledgeable guide describing many of the historical buildings and facts. The highlight was cycling up to The Grove Park Inn--what a gorgeous view. Introduced me to many new areas of the city. Don't miss this way to tour Asheville
