On our electric fatbikes you feel less of the Thai heat and feel more comfort on the bumpy roads than with a normal bike. You can also cycle a longer distance with the same effort, and therefore see more.

We made a selection of routes all starting from our office in Nam Phrae, about 30 minutes south of Chiang Mai old city center. Free pickup from your hotel to our office and back is included. This is the ultimate chance to discover outer Chiang Mai on an eye-catching and comfortable fat-tire E-bike. Suitable for every age, as long as you are over 150 cm tall. For kids contact us first!

We had customers till over 80 years old, so don't let yourself be put off by the bikes.

Our experienced English speaking guides will make sure that your day will be fun, safe and unforgettable!

We will provide fat-tire electric bikes, you just have to bring comfortable clothes, sturdy shoes and a good mood.

This is a marvelous way to explore the countryside out of the city. We are experienced cyclists, and had never used an e-bike before. It was amazing how pleasant the ride was on a day when it was very hot, in the low 90’s. Hills? No big deal, just up the power and up we zoomed. We rode for about three hours in the morning, then stopped at the Buzzy Bee base for a delicious Thai lunch. The two 1/2 day riders left, and a new group of 1/2 day riders joined us for another three hour ride. This is a well-run company and a not to be missed experience.
Fantastic experience!

The tour operator was friendly, knowledgeable, flexible, and went out of his way to make sure people were safe. We would stop at sights such as temples, dams, landmarks, etc., and he would briefly explain what the sight was, and off we went again. The e - bikes were easy to operate, and indeed a pleasure when going up the hill. Our guide was also flexible, stopping at places where there was a specific interest of ours. This made the trip unforgettable.
Wonderful cycling trip

What a great way to spend a day! I had a wonderful time cycling round the countryside with my guide. The bikes are great (the battery makes the hilly bits easy). Lunch was a welcome break. We got information about the places we stopped at and the sights we saw, and all of this while getting a bit if exercise! It was a really enjoyable day, and cycling is a wonderful way to see a place a little more slowly. If you're thinking of joining this tour then I'd say just do it!
Great ride!

We did the full day trip which included pavement and some dirt roads. The fat bike tyres give a nice comfortable ride and the electric motor helps with the hills.(We opted for the hilly ride) The local guide stoped at some interesting locations and explain the cultural landmarks. One of our best days of the vacation. Scott & Flo.
Well organized bike tour,!

Full day electric bike tour of rural Chaing Mai

The Buzzy Bee team arranged an impressive, safely guided electric bike tour. The tour is suitable for beginners to more experienced bikers and everyone in between. Prompt pick up from the hotel. These electric mountain bikes are purpose built, stable and strong with reliable assisted power battery unit. Batteries are changed at lunchtime (great lunch in a lovely surrounding) before the second half of the whole-day tour. The Ping River tour is both beautiful, peaceful, a flat ride and is an opportunity to see the real Thailand including working rice farms. Nam Phrae has more hills but with stunning views away from the crowds. I took the opportunity for a very good massage arranged locally by the team rather than the second bike tour. Suitable for most ages and abilities. English and Dutch spoken
Fantastic day

Great guided cycling tour around areas of Chaing Mai that we would never have seen in such detail if we had not gone on this fun packed, but energetic day. Lovely meal and snacks provided. Bikes were electric assisted which was very welcomed in the heat. Guides very knowledgeable and friendly, we were able to stop for photos and questions whenever we wished. So pleased we did this day and would fully recommend it to anyone. Enjoy
Super day with Buzzy Bee
