Why Choose the Electric Bike Tour?
San Francisco is beautiful, but it is also famous for hills. Our electric bike tour gives you the best of both worlds: the adventure of biking the Golden Gate Bridge with the comfort of pedal assistance when you need it.
You still get to ride, explore, and enjoy the outdoors, but the electric bike makes the climbs easier and the ride more relaxed.
This tour is a great choice for couples, families with older kids, groups with mixed riding abilities, and anyone who wants to enjoy the Golden Gate Bridge ride without working too hard.
