You push off into a hush — the Surron’s electric pulse replaces the usual roar, letting the mountains speak. Forests slope away to reveal serrated ridgelines; a creek cuts silver through the valley and dares you to chase the view. Over five hours you move between closed singletrack and open PLUZ terrain, the Rockies unfolding in sections of tight, rooty trail, rocky switchbacks and broad meadows.

You push off into a hush — the Surron’s electric pulse replaces the usual roar, letting the mountains speak. Forests slope away to reveal serrated ridgelines; a creek cuts silver through the valley and dares you to chase the view. Over five hours you move between closed singletrack and open PLUZ terrain, the Rockies unfolding in sections of tight, rooty trail, rocky switchbacks and broad meadows.
This ride threads through McLean Creek and the Ghost area on public land-use routes that were carved by glaciers and used for generations by Indigenous peoples and later by explorers and ranchers. The geology is classic Canadian Rockies: layered sedimentary rock lifted and folded, strewn with talus and scree where the slopes steepen. Locally, ranching and wild horses leave their mark — you’ll often pass free-range cattle and the occasional band of wild horses grazing in the basins.
Practically: tours are private, five hours long, and include a Surron electric dirt bike and full moto protective gear; no motorcycle license or clutch experience is required, though basic bicycle handling and moderate fitness help. The bikes are quiet — a conservation plus — but wildlife encounters (moose, mountain goats, bears) require slow, respectful riding and an instructor’s direction.
Expect variable trail surfaces, some short hike-a-bike sections, and cool mountain air; bring layers, eye protection and a hydration pack. Weather can shift fast, and operators cancel in unsafe conditions, so arrive prepared and be ready to ride in a way that leaves the backcountry as you found it.

Routes pass through landscapes shaped by glaciers and used for generations by Indigenous peoples, later traveled by fur-traders and ranchers; the PLUZ system balances public recreation and land management.
Electric bikes reduce noise and local disturbance compared with gas motors, but riders should stay on designated tracks, avoid close wildlife approaches, and pack out all waste.
