About the E-Bike
Banff Adventures has many e-bikes available to rent during your stay in Banff’s townsite. We are often asked how lengthy and strenuous the bike tours are: depending on the tour chosen, trips can range anywhere from 2-4 hours and 11 km to 27 km!
The beauty of e-bikes is that they are equipped with adaptable power modes that allow the rider a choice between having maximum assistance or putting in more physical effort. All the bike tours will undoubtedly give you a workout, but the incredible scenery is worth it! A bonus is the fantastic sleep you’ll have afterwards.
