About this tour
When Em from our team took this electric trike tour, we pedalled about 10 kilometres round-trip from Kissimmee out to St. Cloud Lakefront Park—a flat, scenic ride through typical Florida terrain where you genuinely spot wildlife (keep an eye out for gators) and stop at a pavilion in the middle of the lake for proper 360-degree views. The 4-hour outing mixes gentle cruising with swimming, a browse through St. Cloud's main strip, and a meal stop at a lakefront café. It's low-key adventure rather than adrenaline sport, best suited to riders comfortable on a tricycle who fancy a different way to see the area.
Highlights
- Electric assist makes the distance manageable—no grinding uphill or arriving knackered
- Pavilion in the lake offers genuinely unobstructed views; photo ops are solid
- Alligators and wading birds spotted without leaving the path
- St. Cloud's downtown strip has enough local shops and ice cream stops to justify the detour
- Helmet and trike included; easy logistics
- Flat terrain and wide paths—no technical riding required
- Swimming option cools you down mid-ride, though gators are a real consideration
What to expect
The ride itself is steady and flat—the electric pedal-assist does the heavy lifting, so you're not fighting the bike. Em found the pace relaxed enough to chat and take photos, with multiple stops built in. You'll roll through quiet residential areas and along the lakefront, genuinely spotting native wildlife (herons, turtles, and yes, alligators in the distance). The pavilion stop is the centrepiece: it's genuinely out in the middle of the lake, and the view is worth the detour.
Bringing a swimsuit is sensible if you fancy a dip, though water entry is at your own risk—the gator warnings aren't just sales bluff. Crabby's on the Lake is your refuel point, but food and drinks aren't included, so bring cash or card and budget for lunch. St. Cloud's downtown is pleasant if a bit quiet, with independent shops and ice cream spots rather than chains. The whole outing feels like a local's weekend rather than a tourist tick-box.
Good to know
If you want to see more of Kissimmee and St. Cloud without sitting in a car, this delivers. The electric assist levels the playing field—age and fitness matter less than confidence on a trike. The route is genuinely flat and away from heavy traffic. Swimming mid-ride is a genuine highlight if you're up for it.
Gators are real; don't approach them or assume they're slow. The pace is leisurely, so if you want a workout, look elsewhere. Crabby's food isn't included, so budget an extra £10–20. Florida heat is relentless in summer; early morning or late afternoon rides are smarter. Not suitable for pregnant travellers or those with spinal or significant cardiovascular issues.
Bring water, sunscreen, and a swimsuit. Helmets and the trike are provided. Groups are small enough that you're not part of a convoy. Arrive early in the season (autumn/winter) to dodge peak summer humidity. The tour works for most fitness levels, and wheelchair-accessible options are available.
