Select participants and date
You push a throttle and the desert answers with a soft, mechanical whisper—the e-bike's low hum barely disturbs the vault of sky above the red rock. The trail peels away from Highway 191 and curls up switchbacks that reveal the Moab valley and the distant fins of Arches National Park. Dust lifts in a thin ribbon behind your rear wheel; wind and sun become constant companions as the route carves into sandstone canyons and past spires that dare you to slow down and look.

Adventure Tips
Hydrate and carry extra water
Desert rides are deceptive—carry at least 1.5–2 liters per rider and sip regularly; water is not available on the trail.
Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants
Protect feet and legs from heat, sand and bike heat; long pants also guard against sun and scrapes.
Bring eye protection
Sunglasses or goggles cut dust and glare on open stretches—wind can kick up unexpectedly.
Arrive early to beat heat
Morning and late afternoon rides are cooler and offer better light for photos; midday can be intense in summer.

Conservation
Electric bikes reduce noise and emissions compared with gas machines, but staying on designated routes and packing out all trash helps protect fragile cryptobiotic soils and desert plants.
