The Experience

Before You Go

Bring closed-toe shoes

Protect your feet from rocks and trail debris—recommended for all riders.

Charge times matter

Pick appropriate routes

Ask staff for two-hour loops that avoid technical singletrack if you’re new to e-bikes.

Hydrate and shade up

Desert sun is intense—carry water and layer UV protection even on short outings.
