Scenic Santa Monica Electric Mountain Bike Tour (Beginner)
Description
Join us on this unique electric mountain biking experience that winds through forests of sycamore trees and crosses springtime creeks. Explore the stunning Santa Monica Mountains on premium electric mountain bikes ( Husqvarna, Specialized, Haibike). This trail system features an optional single track, allowing participants to switch between the beginner fire road and the Ridgeline Roller Coaster ride. Both routes run side-by-side so everyone stays together while riders of different levels enjoy their own pace. Riders of all levels welcome—no experience needed. You’ll take in sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and mountain ranges en route to the Nike Missile Control site, where we’ll stop to explore this Cold War relic. This adventure gives you an authentic taste of local riding on one of Santa Monica’s favorite trails.

My husband, brother and I all agreed that this emtb tour was one of the highlights from our trip while in Cali. It was definitely worth it to book a tour. Jason and Ben are great guides and really went above and beyond for us. While on my way to our meetup point (~11 mins away), I punctured my front tire on my car and was stuck waiting for road assistance to come out. I called Jason to inform him that we wouldn't make it. He immediately volunteered to meet us and to replace the tire for us. I'm forever grateful to Jason and Ben for going out of their way to assist us. They're good people and just a blast to ride with. Jason and Ben both knew the trail (and surrounding trails) really well and helped us navigate through it with ease. I definitely recommend doing a tour with LifeRush. You won't regret it and will be smiling ear to ear the entire time you're on the trail
Jason was very patient with riders of all skill levels. The e-bikes were great and the ride was fun!
Awesome Ride. Awesome adventure. Justin had all the equipment we needed and explained all the safety features. He tailored the ride to our abilities and interests. Took wonderful pictures of is at the scenic locales and sent them to us right away. No need to take His commentary on local history and trivia was an added bonus. Looking forward to returning.
Justin was a great guide! Took the time to explain what to expect on our ride and carefully reviewed all safety measures. He provided all the safety equipment we needed for the ride. The extra trivia information he provided along the ride was a bonus. Tailored the ride to our biking ability. Highly recommend this adventure!
This was my first time mountain biking and it was great! Everything was provided (bike, helmet, pads, water). High quality bike in great condition. Jason was an enthusiastic guide and patient instructor. He made the trip fun, challenging and educational. The scenery was wonderful too, including a great ocean view. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants an easy intro to mountain biking or just wants to enjoy a nice ride in a great setting.
Jason took time to make sure we were all comfortable on the bikes and even took extra time with our daughter who hasn’t ridden a bike in years. In the beginning we didn’t think we were going to be able to continue but because of his patience we made it to the end! He allowed us to stop multiple times and took some great pics of us! We had an amazing time!!!
It was a perfect tour in a beautiful and exciting area. The bikes were well maintained and a great help in climbing Mesa Peak. It was great fun with our guide Jason!
