Best of Boulder E-Bike Tour — Guided E-Bike Tour in Boulder, Colorado

Boulder is one of America's great cycling cities, and this guided tour was designed to prove it. In roughly 2.5 hours, your local guide leads you along the Boulder Creek Path, through the University of Colorado's stunning campus, up to the National Center for Atmospheric Research perched above the city, and to the historic grounds of Chautauqua Park at the base of the Flatirons — all on a Pedego e-bike that makes the climbs feel effortless.

This is the only guided e-bike tour in Boulder that departs from a brick-and-mortar shop with its own restrooms, air conditioning, and private parking lot. From the moment you arrive, the shop's expert staff get you fitted, oriented, and ready to ride. The route winds through a mix of dedicated bike paths, quiet residential streets, and scenic corridors that showcase why this city has been called the happiest in America.

The route covers approximately 10–12 miles (16–19 km) and is suitable for riders of all fitness levels — the pedal-assist motor handles the elevation, including the climb toward NCAR, so you can stay focused on the scenery and the stories your guide is sharing.
