  • The electric bikes will take all of the hard work out of your ride. We routinely have riders that span the spectrum of age and fitness. The main requirement is that you be coordinated and fit enough to balance a 55-pound bike. A training and practice session is provided at the start of each tour. For people that would like to go on the tour but are not able to balance a bike, it is possible to arrange a ride on the back of one of our stretch cargo bikes that will be driven by another person in your party.
  • Legally, you must be 16 years or older to operate an electric bike. Guides reserve the right to request proof of age of any rider. Riders should also be at least 5 feet tall to operate their own bike. Guests younger than 16 may ride as a passenger with an adult in their group on the back of one of our cargo bikes or in a child seat (for children ages 1-6 or up to 48.5 pounds).
  • Tours are subject to favorable weather conditions. If there is light rain in the forecast but none at the start of the tour, we will decide together at the time of the tour whether to ride. We will provide rain ponchos and rain covers for the storage bags on the bikes to protect your belongings. If canceled due to poor weather, you will be given the option of an alternative date or full refund.
  • Pets are not allowed on tours, please contact us with any questions or concerns.

Best $ ever spent! - Best $ ever spent! The time with Peter showed and taught us things about Asheville that we would have never known. It's a must-do! And take his advice: just had the liquid truffle ... it is to die for! Thanks for everything!

Fear and Loathing in Asheville - As we careened through the narrow alleys and busy interstates trying to keep up with our guide, the evil Peter, he would taunt us and call us a bunch of lily-livered babies. He would stop us to say that within our line of sight were some really interesting points of interest, but would then, with a maniacal grin, ride away saying that any important and interesting facts were, “For him to know and for us to find out.” (We really appreciated our tour with Peter and very much appreciated his humor and his knowledge of and love for Asheville. We will recommend your company to all we know!)
