What’s an eBike — and Why It Helps Everybody
An eBike, or electric bike, is a bicycle equipped with a motor that helps you pedal. The electric pedal assist boosts every push, allowing you to go farther and tackle hills with ease. For many of our guests, that boost turns what might have been a tough workout into an easy, scenic adventure.
Our Alaska e-Bike tours make it possible for grandparents, parents, and kids to explore together — at their own pace. Whether you want light exercise or just a fun ride through the wilderness, the e-bike adapts to you.

Who Can Join an Alaska e-Bike Tour?
Our tours are designed for inclusivity and comfort. You don’t need to be an athlete — just able to pedal and balance.
Most participants are 12 years or older, and our guides ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident before we begin. Even if you haven’t biked in decades, we’ll provide a short training session to get you familiar with the controls. Riders with limited mobility or mild joint issues often find that the e-bike’s smooth assist lets them ride pain-free.
Our motto is simple: if you can ride a regular bike, you can enjoy an Alaska e-Bike tour.
Rocks, Roots & Hills — How Easy Is the Ride?
Thanks to the electric pedal assist, most riders find our tours smooth and surprisingly easy. Our routes include gentle climbs, well-maintained trails, and frequent rest stops for photos. You’ll never feel rushed — your guide sets a pace that keeps everyone comfortable.
You can increase or decrease assist power as needed, so if you want a workout, you can get one. Or you can coast along and let the e-bike do most of the work. Either way, you’ll be surrounded by Alaska’s stunning natural scenery — glaciers, rivers, forests, and wildlife — making every moment memorable.
