Trading in the Wagon for an E-Bike

Meet us at the entrance to Andrew Molera State Park, where we’ll introduce you to the e-bikes, give you a safety briefing, and begin our trek. We’ll climb the mountainous terrain with the help of our 750 watt motor, taking a moment to stop for amazing views of the Point Sur Lighthouse.

After a fun ridge ride, our road dips into the backcountry, taking us through groves of oak trees and into a beautiful redwood forest along the Little Sur River.   

With faster groups we can explore further with an even more challenging climb to the next ridge.  For others the edge of the redwood forest is a great turn-around point.

The full ride is approximately 12 miles and lasts approximately 2 hours.

The Perks of Going Electric

See more of the gorgeous California coast in a shorter amount of time.

Less physical effort means that you can spend your time enjoying the views, not catching your breath.

Adjust the bike’s electric assistance to fit your preferences. It’s suitable both for people who want a good workout and for those that don’t want to expend much energy.
