Trail & Path Bike Rentals
Trail E-Bike
Trail E-Bike Description Ride singletrack and dirt roads with ease on a pedal-assist trail E-Bike. With 130-150 mm travel, a single crown fork, wide gears, and a dropper seat post, these bikes help you ride farther with less effort.
Note: Our mountain e-bikes are a great choice for non-lift access mountain bike trails. They are not allowed to be taken to the lift-assisted downhill trails at the Whistler bike park. However, there are a lot of e-MTB friendly trails all around Whistler to take the mountain bikes on. For the mountain bike park downhill trails, we suggest a non-electric downhill mountain bike rental.

Kids Path Bike
If your kid is ready to explore, a trail-ready path bike is the perfect choice. With 130-150 mm travel, a single crown fork, wide-range gearing, and a dropper seat post, these bikes handle singletrack, dirt roads, and mixed terrain with ease. Full suspension and knobby tires provide stability for uphill, flat, and downhill sections.
