My partner and I borrowed two e-bikes on a very rainy/windy day while our cruise was stopped in Skagway, and completed a round trip of roughly 20 miles winding around the estuary. It was a gorgeous trip made solely possible by these awesome e-bikes. Nicole and George did a great job explaining our route and how to work the motors to our best advantage, and it was a godsend that halfway through our trip, we were able to stop at Cathy's outpost to warm our wet, freezing selves with tea, chili, and delicious Alaskan fish. I highly recommend these bikes, the self-guided tour, and taking full advantage of the excellent service Klondike has to offer.
A few things I wish I would have prepared for in retrospect: 1. Be prepared for the physical strain of biking so far - it's made so much easier with these bikes but it is still a significant workout 2. Riding race first into cold rain was not fun, I regret not bringing rain pants or a rain parka 3. I wish I had researched more about Klondike National Park before I had gone so I was prepared with the knowledge of layout, etc. As it was, however, the view was gorgeous. I am definitely planning to visit again one day.
