Glide through Bend on an electric bike and cover river paths, brewery-lined streets and volcanic lookouts with minimal effort. This self-guided rental gives you 1–8 hours of freedom to craft a flat riverside loop or a longer ride that includes Pilot Butte and Drake Park.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from the Old Mill District and the river takes over the scene: the Deschutes bends and bright water catches the light while a line of breweries, cafés and brick warehouses slides past. The e-bike hums more than it whirs, and suddenly hills that would have meant sweating and pushing feel like gentle suggestions. Within minutes you’re on a dedicated bike path, the river daring you to keep going — past dog parks, sandstone bluffs and a downtown that’s as easy to explore by pedal as it is on foot.
