The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive Early

Start in the morning to avoid heat and busy trailheads; early light also improves photos.

Hydrate and Pace

Carry at least 1 liter of water for a 2-hour trip and more for 4 hours; use the bike’s pedal-assist to manage effort on climbs.

Ride the Right Model

Choose the Fold X Ebike if under 5'8" and the X Model if taller—both support up to 300 lbs for stability and comfort.

Respect Land Access

Follow posted signs, stay on recommended routes, and avoid private property; ask staff about seasonal closures.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
