Steph was an awesome tour guide. We had so much fun and the tour was amazing. The bikes are so cool, you really don’t have to peddle much. We will do this again soon!

What a blast! Perfect way to see the sites of Asheville and learn some history, with a little exercise but not strenuous. The ebikes were easy to learn and very fun to ride. Highly recommend this tour!

We wanted to cover the best parts of Asheville so decided to try Flying Bikes. Steph, our guide, was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave excellent instructions so that we felt very safe and confident on e-bikes for the first time. Asheville is lovely, and we had a lot of fun.
