See the charm and beauty of Carmel-by-the-Sea
Explore the world-famous 17-Mile Drive and charming Carmel-by-the-Sea in one spectacular e-bike adventure! Starting just outside the Pacific Grove Gate to 17-Mile Drive, you’ll enter Pebble Beach and ride its legendary coastline, taking in breathtaking ocean views, wildlife, world-renowned golf courses, stunning mansions, and iconic landmarks like the Lone Cypress and The Lodge at Pebble Beach.
From the Lodge, you’ll continue on to Carmel-by-the-Sea to explore its fairy-tale cottages, tree-lined streets, beautiful homes, and the spectacular Scenic Road running along Carmel Beach.
Our powerful e-bikes make the hills easy, but this is NOT a beginner’s tour. The roughly 25-mile route, lasting 3–3.5 hours, includes stretches between the Lodge and Carmel with heavier traffic, no bike lanes, and cycling speeds that can approach 20 mph.
FOR EXPERIENCED, CONFIDENT CYCLISTS ONLY. Participants must be comfortable riding alongside traffic and able to control the bike at sustained speeds. Minimum age: 14-yrs
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.
Other Things To Keep in Mind
Though we have over 120 e-bikes, we request advanced notice for groups larger than 15 riders. Contact us(opens in a new tab) to make arrangements.
- While Southern California is known for its sunny weather, our climate here up north tends to be a bit cooler. We recommend dressing warmly so that you can fully enjoy the ride!
Going on this tour was one of the best choices we made in our trip. We had a blast! We enjoyed every minute. The combination of a comfortable ebike, the views along the way, and the professional tour guide we had, made it a perfect and memorable experience. I highly recommend this to anyone in the area. You will not regret it.
This trip was amazing!!!! I was here alone, 50 year old woman not in any shape and was concerned I wouldn’t be able to do it. I wasn’t in any discomfort during or even the next day. I can’t recommend this trip enough! Zane and Shell were amazing guides and I had the best time riding in the most beautiful place I’ve ever been!
