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

My family and I had a wonderful time exploring Asheville with Turin! He was so knowledgeable about the city and its history, and had many great personal recommendations for the best places to eat and drink. We biked nearly eight miles and within this time saw beautiful views of Asheville from the Omni Grove Inn, as well as toured the heart of the city and the Botanical Gardens. The extra assist from the electric bike on the steeper hills never made the trip too strenuous and allowed us to take in all of the city's beauty! We could not have asked for a better guide than Turin, he was extremely gracious and personable and we would highly recommend his tour to anyone.

We met Torin at the park - he was able to give a quick lesson on how to use the electric bikes. Once we set out on the tour we knew it was going to be amazing!!!! We were able to view Asheville on a different level. Torin has such a passion for the city and was able to speak of the history with ease. We never felt rushed and never felt silly to ask questions. This is a must do while in Asheville!!!

My husband and I are health enthusiasts and exercise daily. When we travel we like to explore and discover all that we can about a place we're visiting. Sometimes the traditional tours are just not on the top of our list. Torin and the Electro Bike Tours are a hidden gem and a “must-do!” This terrific city touring option was better than we imagined! We were able to combine exercising and touring together. The electric bikes offer the pedaling assistance where needed with so many hills in Asheville, not to mention the needed help I required for my limiting range of activity due to arthritis and recent injuries. In just 2 hours, we were filled with the usual facts about Asheville, AND so many secret (unknown to most) and fun tidbits. Customer service is first and foremost with Torin and the Electro Bike Tours. Torin was very accommodating and thorough in explaining all the necessary prep for the tour (about the bikes, the rules of the road, etc). Torin is extremely caring and passionate about Asheville, which shines through as he shares his knowledge of the city. We would highly recommend the Electro Bike Tours and especially Torin. We wish him much success as he continues to grow this excellent tourist opportunity and serve Asheville’s visitors. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Asheville!
