Frequently Asked Questions
Is eBiking a good activity for families with kids?
Yes, e-biking is a great way for families to explore Durango with children who are 6 years old or older and can ride on a tandem bike with an accompanying adult who is at least 18 years old. We offer 24" bikes suitable for individuals with heights between 4'8" and 5'2", and 26" e-bikes for those with heights ranging from 5'2" to 6'2". You can enjoy a ride on the Animas River Trail and take a break to feed the fish at the Fish Hatchery, or engage in interactive science activities at the Powerhouse Science Center.
Is eBiking a good activity for seniors or others with limited mobility?
Yes, as long as you are in good physical condition. Our step-thru bikes make it easy to get on and off the bike. With the pedal assist, you can go further with less effort.
Can we ride eBikes on any trail in Durango?
eBikes are allowed on paved roads and paths; they are NOT allowed on gravel, dirt roads, and single-track trails.
Will you deliver the eBikes to us?
Yes, for our Full-Day and Multi-Day rentals, we can deliver bikes within 5 miles of Durango city limits. 48 hours notice needed for coordinating deliveries or contact us for more immediate assistance.
What is the difference between throttle and pedal assist?
When the throttle is engaged, the motor provides power and propels you and the bike forward. A throttle allows you to pedal or kick back and enjoy a “free” ride! Our throttles can be fine-tuned like a volume dial between low and full power up to 20 miles per hour maximum. Pedal assist is a mode that provides power only when you are pedaling. The pedal assist mode is also nice because you can focus purely on your pedaling, and you don't have to hold the throttle in a specific position.
Do I need prior biking experience to rent an eBike?
No, you do not need prior biking experience to rent an eBike in Durango. The electric assist makes it easy for beginners to enjoy, and you’ll receive a brief tutorial on operating the bike before starting your ride.
How far can I go on a single charge?
The range of an eBike varies based on factors like terrain, rider weight, and the level of electric assist used. On average, most eBikes can travel 25 to 40 miles on a single charge, so there is no need to charge during your half-day adventure.
What should I wear and bring for an eBike ride?
Comfortable, athletic clothing and closed-toe shoes are recommended. Don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a water bottle. You may want to bring a small backpack for personal items. Helmets are included and required with the rental.
