Why take this tour?

Got a free morning or afternoon in Boulder? Four hours is plenty of time to get out of the car and see the city from the bike path.

Ride along Boulder Creek, explore downtown, cruise through CU Boulder, take in views of the Flatirons, or ask us for a route based on what you want to see. You choose where to go, when to stop, and how fast to take it.

You don’t need previous eBike experience. If you’re comfortable riding a bicycle, we’ll show you how the pedal assist works, get your bike fitted, and help you choose a route before you head out.

The half-day rental is a great fit for visitors with a few hours to explore, couples, families, friends, and locals showing someone around Boulder.

Want more time? Our full-day rental gives you 7 hours for $95.

Our main rental bikes are the Rad City and/or Rad City Step-Thru Commuter Bikes from RadPower Bikes. We also occasionally have a RadWagon utility bike (w/kid caboose) available as well. These bikes feature pedal-assist, so whenever you turn the cranks, the bike's going to help you. Whether it's a little or a lot is for you to decide, but you should pretty quickly discover the incredible fun in riding these amazing machines.

My friend was visiting from out of town, and I wanted to show her more than just the commercial/well-known parts of Boulder. This tour did NOT disappoint! Somehow Joel managed to show us places we didn’t know existed. It’s by far the best bike tour we have been on. He also knows …
