You’ll stop at some of Austin’s most iconic lakeside and city sights, including Barton Springs, the Stevie Ray Vaughan Statue, and the Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge (Bat Bridge). Along the ride, your guide will point out local murals, hidden gems along Lady Bird Lake, and other scenic highlights. Stops are built into the ride for photos and taking in the views
What is the pace of the ride?
This tour is designed to be relaxed and scenic. With pedal-assist e-bikes, you can enjoy smooth, easy riding along the lakeshore and urban trails. The tour includes multiple stops for photos, insights, and to take in the natural surroundings, so you can focus on the experience rather than the effort.
Is this tour suitable for first-time e-bike riders?
Yes! All riders must be confident on a bike, but the pedal-assist e-bikes make it simple to get started. Your guide will provide a brief orientation and test ride before heading out, ensuring everyone is comfortable and ready for the trail.
Are there opportunities to take photos?
Absolutely. Stops along Lady Bird Lake, the Stevie Ray Vaughan Statue, and the Congress Avenue Bridge are perfect for pictures. The mix of skyline views, water, and shaded paths creates plenty of scenic photo opportunities
How much riding vs stopping is involved?
The tour is approximately 2.5 hours, with most of the time spent riding gently along the lake and urban trails. Stops are built in to enjoy landmarks, take photos, and hear stories about Austin’s culture and history.
What makes this tour different from other city tours?
Unlike more city-heavy tours, this ride emphasizes Austin’s outdoor side. You’ll experience the lake, parks, and green spaces while still visiting key landmarks. The pace is easygoing, making it ideal for travelers who want a scenic, active experience without weaving through busy streets for the entire ride.
What are e-bikes and how do they work?
E-bikes, or electric bikes, are bicycles equipped with a small electric motor that assists your pedaling. You can choose how much assistance you want, making it easier to tackle hills and longer distances.
Do I need to be in great shape to do an e-bike tour?
No! E-bikes make cycling accessible to people of all fitness levels. The electric assist helps you pedal, so you can enjoy the tour without feeling overly exerted.
What happens if it rains?
Tours may be rescheduled or canceled in the event of heavy rain or severe weather.
Do I need to book in advance?
It’s highly recommended to book in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to ensure availability.
How far can an e-bike go on a single charge?
The range of an e-bike depends on factors like terrain, rider weight, and level of assist, but typically ranges from 20 to 50 miles.
Do I need a drivers license to ride an e-bike?
No, a driver’s license is not required to ride an e-bike in Austin.
How do I adjust the level of electric assist?
E-bikes typically have a control panel on the handlebars that allows you to adjust the level of assist. Your guide will show you how to use it.
Are there different sizes of e-bikes available?
Yes, we offer e-bikes in various sizes to accommodate different riders.
Should I tip my guide?
If your guide did a great job, it is typical to tip a standard gratuity of 15% to 20% of the retail price of the tour. (Your guide would be happy to accept tips in cash or via a card.)

To receive a full refund, you must contact us at least 24 hours before your scheduled ride. For groups of 10+ guests, cancellation must be made 48 hours in advance. DMC groups must cancel 1 week prior. Cancellations made less than the required notice will not be refunded.
