Victoria, E-Bike Staging Area, Safety & Operating Instructions, Guided E-Bike Tour

Depart the pier for the short drive to the e-bike staging area. Upon arrival, meet your guide and receive your e-biking safety briefing and instructions on how to use the controller, gears, brakes, etc., along with your safety helmet. Afterward, hop on your pedal-assisted e-bike and begin the cycling portion of your guided tour. Your approximately two-hour e-bike-ride takes place on mostly paved surfaces, and is suitable for all riders with a moderate level of fitness. Although pedalling is required, e-bikes are provided to assist with pedalling, and a great way to stretch your legs but not feel like you’ve spent the entire day on a bicycle.
