Summit to Sea e-Bike Ride - Self Guided

A self-guided tour gives you the same equipment and route as our guided experiences, but with the freedom to explore independently at your own pace.

We provide turn-by-turn GPS navigation loaded onto your phone, along with detailed route information and local guidance to help you complete the ride confidently and at your own speed.

GPS route maps with turn-by-turn directions will be loaded onto your phone before departure. Please ensure your phone is fully charged prior to the tour.
