You get a chance to see multiple lakes and Banff scenery while riding a bike. A great way to see more of Banff and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Our guide Nick took my wife and I along with another couple on a fantastic 24 mile e-bike ride throughout banff. We saw a number of lakes, waterfalls, meadows, mountain ranges, etc. Nick was very knowledgeable about the area and shared interesting facts with us. The trip lasted 4 hours and was not rushed at all. The e-bikes worked incredibly well so you could get as little or as much exercise as you would like. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Banff!

Beautiful way to see the area, nice to stop at certain spots to enjoy refreshments and take breaks if you’re not use to riding. The guide is informative and doesn’t make you feel rushed. If you’re not use to riding on a bike, the seat can be a little uncomfortable because you are riding for 3 hours! Had a very relaxing time and can really appreciate nature around you!!

They should know how to use grip shift and electrical speed controls before going out. John was a great tour guide who knew the history and area very well.
