Ride through Prescott's historic Peavine and Iron King Trails with Prescott E-Bike. Choose from guided tours or rentals suited to every schedule and skill level, featuring lakeside stops and desert vistas.
Prescott, Arizona, is a high-desert town marked by rugged granite outcrops, open sky, and an outdoor culture deeply rooted in its historic trails. Prescott E-Bike offers a fresh take on long-standing paths like the Peavine Trail and Iron King Trail, inviting adventurers to cover ground effortlessly while soaking in the region’s unique landscape. These trails trace routes once vital for railroads and mining, connecting visitors to a living piece of Arizona’s past while winding through gently rolling hills and scrub oak woodlands. The Peavine Trail stretches over 14 miles of compacted dirt and gravel, tracing old railway beds with views of steep granite cliffs and frequent wildlife sightings like mule deer and red-tailed hawks. Iron King Trail lies nearby, weaving through sections of iron-rich soil that give it a distinctive rust-colored hue and dense stands of juniper and manzanita.
Prescott E-Bike’s rental experiences range from quick one-hour rides on either trail to more immersive two-hour combinations that cover both iconic routes. For a slower pace, their three-hour leisure tours include stops at spots like Watson Lake and Willow Lake, where visitors can picnic lakeside amidst granite formations sculpted by centuries of wind and water. Some tours operate around Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s campus, providing a unique juxtaposition of cutting-edge aviation education against the timeless natural backdrop.
What sets Prescott E-Bike apart is its focus on accessibility and local insight—offering well-maintained electric bikes designed for varied skill levels helps riders of all fitness backgrounds enjoy Prescott’s outdoors without overexertion.
