About this tour

What to expect
You'll receive a quick briefing on your e-bike's controls—mostly intuitive, with a throttle or pedal-assist mode you adjust to suit the terrain and your energy. As you climb Lyon's hillsides, the motor provides a noticeable push; flat sections and descents feel like any regular bike ride. Expect a mix of main roads and quieter residential streets, with natural stopping points to catch your breath and take in the cityscape. Two hours allows time to meander rather than rush, stopping for photos or simply absorbing the neighbourhoods you pass through.
Good to know
Minimum height 1.50m and minimum age 14. Wear casual, comfortable clothing. Moderate fitness needed despite motor assist—you're still pedalling. Children under 18 must have an adult present. Public transport is nearby if you need an exit plan.
