My boyfriend and I were looking for a mountain adventure, and we found one! Conor wa a great guide, training us on the use of Ebikes and taking us on a private tour up Gold Hill and down the Switzerland Trail on a beautiful sunny day. With stops for gazing at the mountains and delicious home made pie, it was a great curated experience in the mountains which was exactly what we were hoping for. Conor was a terrific guide and we know you will have an awesome time should you choose this tour.

Amazing power to get you up the steep dirt roads of Boulder Canyon. Comfortable seats. The store was very helpful -- from setting up the bikes to suggesting the trails.

Hey Bill thanks for the review! I'm glad you had a great ride on Poorman Road using your Pedego City Commuter, I'm glad you felt comfortable riding up Sunshine Canyon enough to get great views!

We were in Colorado for a weekend and decided to add the Boulder Backroads tour to our agenda. It ended up being one of the best things we did that weekend. We met Conor at the shop and he gave us an overview of the e-bikes and made sure we were comfortable before loading everything into their comfortable van for the drive to the start of the ride. The real fun began when we jumped on the bikes. The dirt road headed straight up the mountain but the e-bike made the climbing easy. We meandered up the climb while Conor provided a historical overview of the area and called out other points of interest. We made a brief stop in the old mining town of Gold Hill for refueling before we headed over to the Switzerland trail for an incredibly enjoyable descent on more incredible dirt. I found myself taking tons of photos throughout the ride. On the way back to the shop after the ride, Conor even made a recommendation for lunch that was top notch. I'd highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see off-the-beaten-path locations and journey into the past on the wonderfully enjoyable dirt roads in the mountains above Boulder.
