What an awesome experience!!! So beautiful of a ride, and you really don’t put forth much effort in the actual biking - the motors do the work. You just have to keep a constant pedal cadence to keep motor engaged. You can ride at your own pace with no need to feel pressured to keep up with others. One host leads the way full speed; the other picks up the rear with a few scenic stops along the way. John and Allison provide a great tour with great bikes. Don’t hesitate. This is the tour to take. I’ll be coming back! (And you don’t need a timed entry ticket - just ask an Allison for the info!)
We recently took a quick getaway to Vegas and, on the recommendation of some friends, booked a Red Rock Canyon electric bike tour with Red E Bike Tours—and they absolutely did not disappoint. Allison picked us up right at our hotel, and we really enjoyed chatting with her on the way to the canyon. The bike equipment was top-notch and clearly well maintained. Allison wasn’t just knowledgeable about the bikes, but also about the desert’s plants, animals, and the rich history of the area, including the Native American heritage. We were lucky to be the only two riders at the time, which helped ease my wife’s nerves. Allison made sure we both felt comfortable and confident throughout the tour. If you ever get the chance to explore Red Rock Canyon by bike, we highly recommend going with Red E Bike Tours!
We love finding the local bike tour when we travel on business, so we tried out Red e-bike tours while speaking at a conference in Vegas This was great. If you can ride a bike you can do this amazingly beautiful tour of Red Rock Canyon. This was much more than a “bike ride” as the guides were excellent teachers! We highly recommend
Spectacular views, pictures does not do it justice! E bikes is definitely the way to go to visit the red rock canyon. Amazing host with Alison and John. This is one of the best tours we have been on.
We had the absolute best time on this tour! Our guides were incredibly informative throughout the entire trip and took the time to ensure everyone felt safe and comfortable with great e-bike safety tips. They also went above and beyond by capturing so many great moments and photos of us along the way. To top it all off, they even sent us home with a thoughtful souvenir to remember the day. The entire experience was seamless, educational, and so much fun. We would absolutely love to do this again and highly recommend it!
