Description
4-Hour Hood River E-Bike Adventure - Self-Guided Rental with Route Maps
Explore Hood River by e-bike with the freedom to choose your own adventure. Every rental comes with a brand new Aventon Pace 4 e-bike — pedal assist and throttle both included — plus a choice of two suggested self-guided routes loaded onto an easy digital map with turn-by-turn directions, or you're free to head out and explore on your own.
The Columbia Gorge Views Ride starts at the Hood River waterfront and heads through downtown before joining the car-free Historic Columbia River Highway at the Twin Tunnels Trailhead, with sweeping Gorge overlooks and a stop in the small riverside town of Mosier for coffee or a visit to Mosier Falls. The Hood River Orchard Ride heads the opposite direction into the quiet country roads of Hood River Valley, past orchards, vineyards, lavender fields, and fruit stands, with open views of Mt. Hood — though this route does share the road with occasional car traffic. Both routes come with QR codes pointing you toward scenic viewpoints and local stops along the way, and the 4-hour rental leaves plenty of time for photos, breaks, and light exploring without feeling rushed.
