The ride starts on cobblestones near the Cape Fear, the river daring you to look down as you power the throttle and coast beneath brick facades and gaslamps. Pedals are optional; the e-bike supplies a smooth push as the group threads through downtown Wilmington’s streets, pausing at a remodeled 1907 firehouse-turned-brewery and the shaded headstones of a 19th-century cemetery where the guide leans in to tell a brief, cold story.
