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

This is a LOT of fun! You’ll see so many areas of Asheville, hear some interesting facts and enjoy whizzing around on a bike. Our guides were fantastic (Joe and Ethan). It was a little scary to me to think of riding a bike downtown, but it worked out well and I’d be happy to do it again.

Wonderful way to see downtown and the Grove Park Inn. It was our first time riding E-bikes - very easy to get used to on the hills. beautiful ride and we saw a black bear on the road side 6 feet away!

Thanks for leaving us a great 5 star review! We agree, our Flying E-bikes are a wonderful way to see scenic Asheville... maybe even the best way to explore our scenic city. We are glad you were able to safely spot a black bear, it's not a rare occurrence here in Asheville. Always watch out for mamabear and keep a safe distance when viewing some of our bigger, more powerful friends here int he blue ridge mountains.

We had a blast e-biking around the West Asheville Arts and River District. The bikes are very easy to use and super fun. Ethan was an awesome guide and we loved getting to see the sights off the beaten trail. The river views, greenway, and neighborhoods were great. Ethan had us introduce ourselves and we got to know our tour group. We had a good time getting to know everyone and chatting with Ethan. This is our second tour with The Flying Bike and we are sure going to make this an annual tradition. Highly recommend!
