Why Choose an Electric Bike?
San Francisco is famous for its hills, and this tour covers more of the city than our classic bridge ride.
The electric bike makes the experience more comfortable, helping you enjoy the ride without worrying too much about climbs or distance. You still get the fun of biking, but with extra pedal assist when you need it.
This tour is a great choice for riders who want to see more of San Francisco in less time, enjoy a longer route, and still feel fresh enough to explore after the tour.
Is This Tour Right for You?
This tour is best for riders who are comfortable on a bike and ready for a longer city ride.
It is recommended for active travelers, couples, groups, confident riders, and anyone who wants a bigger San Francisco adventure.
The route is very scenic and mostly safe, with many sections on bike lanes and bike-friendly streets. However, there are a few areas where riders may share the road with traffic. If you are not comfortable riding near cars, we recommend our classic Golden Gate Bridge Guided Bike Tour, which stays mostly on separated bike paths.
If you are not sure which tour is best for you, our team is happy to help you choose the right ride.
After the Tour
The guided portion of the tour ends in Sausalito, but your adventure does not have to stop there.
After the tour, you can enjoy lunch by the waterfront, explore Sausalito, return to San Francisco by ferry, or use our complimentary bike drop-off option in Sausalito.
You can also keep your electric bike for the rest of the day and continue exploring on your own.
