Quick Details
A Slice of Asheville
Asheville has a reputation as being a destination for foodies, with some people going as far as nicknaming it “Foodtopia”. One food that we have particularly perfected is pizza. From New York-style thin crust to Neapolitan, Asheville has taken an age-old favorite and put its own unique spin on it. On this tour you will ride your e-bike to three pizzerias where you will enjoy sizzling slices of pizza, learning about its history and the different methods employed in preparing each pizza.
This tour will take you through our bustling downtown, to the renowned River Arts District and include stops at sweeping overlooks. You will get to experience our extensive network of bike infrastructure, riding on bike-only greenways, bike lanes and bike-friendly roads. You will eat as much pizza as your stomach can hold and ride state-of-the-art e-bikes from one stop to the next. By the end of the tour, you will get to decide for yourself which pizzeria has the best pizza in all of Asheville.
Eat & drink like a local
Despite its small size, Asheville boasts multiple top-notch pizzerias. Leave the research to us, our expert local guides have selected the best of the best pizza restaurants in Asheville. Our Flying Bike pizza tour will give you a taste of all the different styles of pizza our town has to offer.

We had the BEST time on the downtown Asheville e-bike tour. Joe was a great guide! When we started out I was a little concerned it was going to be too much stop and go and not any areas of long bike riding. As the bike tour progressed there was plenty of open riding. This was the highlight of our weekend getaway and would definitely take another e-bike tour when we are back.

If anyone is visiting Asheville or some other city I highly suggest doing a E-Bike Tour. We did one this morning with The Flying Bike. It was amazing. Our tour guide Joe was very informative and made the tour exceptional. Thank you.
