Riders get an extra pedaling boost from Kettler Twin electric bikes as they explore Asheville solo or join groups of up to eight for tours. To start the two-hour tours of Asheville, guides acquaint riders with the bikes during a 10-minute overview. Then groups head to the Basilica of St. Lawrence to start a scenic journey that wends through the historic Montford neighborhood, down the Reed Creek greenway, and to the Asheville Botanical Gardens. After groups stroll and get their fill of colorful blooms and fragrant air or visit the gift shop and restroom, they hop back onto the bikes, pedaling uphill with electric assistance to check out the Grove Park Inn’s view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Asheville itself. Then, they coast downhill through the Chestnut Hill neighborhood back toward downtown, where they catch glimpses of the First Baptist Church and Pack Square’s art-deco architecture and modernist molehills.
