Adventure Tips
Bring plenty of water
Hydrate well—Lake Tahoe’s dry mountain air and physical exertion can quickly dehydrate you during the ride.
Wear layered clothing
Mornings can be cool and afternoons warm; layers help you adapt to temperature changes throughout the day.
Use the included bike lock
Secure your e-bike when taking breaks at beaches or trailheads to avoid theft or accidental movement.
Practice e-bike handling beforehand
E-bikes are heavier than traditional bikes, so familiarity with handling can improve your comfort and safety.
