Select participants and date
You feel it before you see it: a soft whir against your calves as the engine nudges the pedal forward and the cityscape of Asheville loosens into trees. The bikes arrive where you asked—downtown curb, hotel lobby, or the gravel lot by the French Broad River—and for the next eight hours the city and its mountain approaches become entirely rideable.

Adventure Tips
Plan your battery use
Throttle drains battery faster than pedal-assist—reserve throttle for steep climbs and use pedal-assist for cruising to maximize range.
Lock it up
Use the provided lock whenever you stop—downtown Asheville and trailheads are busy and secure parking minimizes risk.
Hydrate and snack
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water and compact snacks; e-biking covers more ground than a walk and can mask exertion.
Choose surfaces wisely
These bikes handle gravel and paved greenways well but avoid narrow singletrack and technical mountain-bike trails.
