The Experience

Before You Go

Check tire pressure before you roll

Low pressure reduces range and makes handling on slickrock unpredictable—ask staff for a quick inflation check.

Bring extra water and a small pump

Four hours in desert terrain can stretch reserves; a compact pump and hydration keep you riding comfortably.

Start early or late for best light

Golden-hour angles illuminate red sandstone and reduce midday heat—plan around sunrise or late afternoon.

Yield appropriately on multi-use trails

Give hikers the right-of-way and announce passes to minimize conflicts and protect fragile soils.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ride the quieter north side of Bell Rock Pathway for fewer crowds
  • Pause at Oak Creek pullouts for shaded pools and reflective water shots

Wildlife

  • Mule deer
  • Red-tailed hawk

Conservation Note

Stay on designated trails, pack out waste, and follow Red Rock Pass parking rules—small actions protect fragile soils and native plants.

Sedona’s red-rock cliffs are part of the Permian Schnebly Hill Formation; the area has been a crossroads for Indigenous peoples long before modern trails were established.

How long does the battery last on a typical four-hour rental?

Battery life depends on assist level and terrain; for a four-hour rental staff will match battery charge to your planned route and provide basic guidance.

Do I need a permit or pass?

Some popular trailheads in the Sedona area require a Red Rock Pass for parking; check ahead and consider using shuttle or town parking where available.

Are helmets and locks provided?

Policies vary by operator; most rental locations provide helmets and may offer locks—confirm at booking or pick-up.
