Asheville River Arts E-Bike Tour: Greenway, Brews & River Views

Riding the French Broad River Greenway on an e-bike turns Asheville’s River Arts District and riverside breweries into an effortless half-day playground. This guided tour meets at The Radical hotel and loops along paved greenway that hugs the French Broad River, pausing at working studios, mural walls, and a VIP stop at New Belgium Brewing’s riverfront deck. Guides fit you to a Velotric pedal-assist e-bike, hand over an ANSI-compliant helmet, and brief you on local greenway rules before you set off; with assist engaged the miles whisper by and the city’s creative energy reads like open-air theater. The greenway itself is a standout feature — a paved corridor lined with sycamore and river birch, bluff views across the river, and frequent pockets where tubers and kayakers drift past. Artist studios in the River Arts District occupy converted brick warehouses and corrugated buildings where potters, metalworkers, and glassblowers keep the neighborhood humming; stops are short, hands-on, and easily timed for a three-hour outing. Halfway through the ride the tour pulls up at New Belgium Brewing’s Liquid Center, where you can claim a draft or a local ginger beer on the riverfront deck while guides point out mountain vistas and brewery operations. The ride back threads more mural alleys and quiet waterfront stretches, offering angle after angle for photographers and a relaxed finish at The Radical’s AfterGlow Cafe and Bar. Why book this trip: it’s targeted for travelers who want local flavor without steep climbs, groups that include mixed-ability riders, and anyone curious about Asheville’s creative pulse—paired with the low-effort fun of pedal-assist. Practical notes: bring closed-toe shoes, layered clothing for river breezes, a charged phone, and enough ID to order beer if you plan to sample; the guide fits helmets and handles mechanical basics, but riders should be comfortable balancing and braking. Accessibility: the greenway is paved and mostly flat, but e-bike controls and the 440‑lb combined weight limit on Velotric models mean riders should review fit and weight allowances before booking. Logistics: tours run up to three hours with a maximum group size of eight; minimum rider age is 16, and you can add an Adventure Cooler or child trailers when you reserve. Local character: this route ties urban creativity to the river—industrial brick, spray-painted murals, and the moving greenway beneath Blue Ridge foothills make the ride feel simultaneously civic and natural. Reserve a morning slot for softer light, or an early evening tour to time the brewery stop with sunset on the river; either way, you leave with a clear sense of why Asheville’s outdoor and craft scenes travel so well together.
