Red Rock Canyon Electric Bike Tour — Scenic Loop E‑Biking from Las Vegas
Trade neon for sandstone and let an electric bike do the heavy lifting on Red Rock Canyon’s 13‑mile Scenic Loop. This self‑guided tour from Las Vegas delivers big views, simple logistics, and an accessible way to experience Mojave country.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during the ride
Desert air is deceptively dehydrating—drink at least 1 liter before departure and use provided bottles; carry an extra liter if you plan photo stops.
Closed‑toe shoes required
Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect your feet during dismounts and brief trail access; sandals are not allowed.
Watch the weight and height limits
Maximum rider weight is 265 lbs and minimum height is 5 ft—these are set for battery safety and proper fit.
Start early for light and fewer vehicles
Departures before 9am give cooler temperatures and golden light; afternoon winds can kick up and traffic increases.

Conservation Note
Stay on paved routes and marked pullouts—off‑route travel damages cryptobiotic soil and fragile desert vegetation; pack out all trash.
The Mojave Desert around Red Rock has been a travel corridor for Indigenous groups for centuries; the area’s sandstone records ancient dunes from the Jurassic era.
