Arizona Recreation Tours is a Scottsdale-based outfitter specializing in guided e-bike and mountain-bike experiences, rentals, and combined bike-and-walking tours across Scottsdale, Tempe Town Lake, Papago Park and Flagstaff. The company’s offerings span short, 2-hour park rides to longer 10–20 mile e-bike adventures, plus equipment rentals for independent exploration. Tours include photo-friendly routes and local-history stops — for example, Ride in the Pines climbs more than 800 feet, passes towering pines and a century-old gas station on Route 66. The Scottsdale Parks ebike & Old Town Scottsdale Walking Tour pairs a scenic 10-mile e-bike ride with a guided walking tour led by local expert Todd Davis, who provides a complimentary copy of his book. Safety and support are part of the experience: tours provide training, helmets, and guide assistance where noted, and the mountain bike rental includes quality bikes and safety gear. Signature experiences range from the Scottsdale Greenbelt E‑Bike 20 Mile Ride and the Scottsdale Parks System 15 Mile Ride to a Hole in the Rock hike, a Girls Trip Pink eBike & Hike option, and a Flagstaff E‑Bike Brewery Tour visiting breweries like Dark Sky Brewing, Mother Road Brewing, and Historic Brewing Barrel + Bottle House. Arizona Recreation Tours appeals to above-average riders seeking varied terrain, families and groups looking for relaxed park rides, and travelers wanting guided local insight. With equipment provided on many tours and multiple guided options, the outfitter makes it straightforward to explore Arizona’s parks, lakes and desert landmarks by bike. Tours vary by season locally.
