Explore Moab by E-Bike
Cover more ground and stay out longer, all while experiencing Moab's legendary scenery on two wheels. Whether you're cruising scenic paved paths or tackling rugged trails systems, an electric bike makes exploring easier and more efficient.
Add Some Power to Your Pedal
One of the biggest advantages of an e-bike is the freedom to explore more of Moab's iconic landscapes without sacrificing your energy (or getting to sweaty). While e-bike riders have similar rights and responsibilities to traditional cyclists, it doesn't necessarily mean e-bikes can go anywhere a traditional bike can; so choosing an e-bike-friendly route is key.
Go With a Guide
Local guides can supply gear and trail knowledge. E-bike tours in Moab range from scenic tours — like biking to the winery — to exploring nearby mountain biking singletrack.
How To Make the Most of Every Mile
Check the Weather
Summer heat, spring winds, and occasional storms can affect riding conditions. A quick forecast check helps you plan accordingly
Fuel Your Body
Even on shorter rides, Moab's dry climate can lead to dehydration faster than you might expect. Bring plenty of water and pack some snacks, too.
Know Your Battery Range
Longer rides and sustained climbs use more power. Always start with a full charge and choose a route that matches your battery's capabilities.
Dress for Success
A helmet, sun protection, and sturdy footwear go a long way toward making your ride more enjoyable.
Download Offline Maps
Cell service can be limited outside of town. Offline navigation will help you stay on course.
