Take the e-bike tour. You won’t regret it.
Super fun activity. The guide was very knowledgeable about local flowers and fauna. The electric mountain bikes made the off road experience pretty easy for me (67, in decent physical condition). I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for something the is outdoors and physically active.

Fun
We had so much fun. Brandon was an experienced and fun guide and very personable. He explained the bikes to us and made sure we were OK to go off the trails. The scenery was amazing and the breeze felt good in the evening. We were even able to get food at limon before starting. He stopped frequently for breaks and explained what to expect on the next part of the trail. The e bike was comfortable and easy. We would definitely do this again. We saw so much that we wouldn't have seen otherwise

Awesome sunset e-bike tour
Brandon was very knowledgeable about the trail and took time before our ride to educate our group about how the e-bike functions. He was thorough in pointing out areas of interest along the trail. He was personable and loved “turbo mode!” This tour is a must for families.

I thought a bike ride through the desert would be amazing but this was sooooo much more!!! The bikes were easy to use and I did not get fatigued. I was alittle worried about getting exhausted but it is not a fear you should have! The scenery was incredible and the ride was soooo sooo sooo much fun! Jesse was an incredible guide and was in tune with group needs! I can not recommend this enough! This is literally one of the best excursions i’ve ever booked!!

Great adventure!
An amazing experience! Our family thoroughly enjoyed this outdoor adventure. Your guide provides 2 bottles of water, helmet and bike with small storage bag (your 2 bottles of water fit in there nicely, plus I stowed my phone, sunscreen and lip balm. You need to know how to ride a bicycle — just the basics. The tour guide told us there are people that try to come do this with no experience riding a bike at all. Although it’s an e-bike, you still have to know how to write a bike.

Don’t hesitate
We had an amazing experience on the desert e-bike tour! Jesse was fantastic very knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire ride enjoyable. The tour was the perfect length, giving us plenty of time to take in the scenery while learning along the way. We chose the 8 AM time slot, which I highly recommend, especially during the summer months. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth booking
