Hood River Valley E-Bike Tour

Our Trek Verve+ 2 e-bikes offer a smooth, comfortable ride with upright geometry, lightweight aluminum frames, and step-thru designs for easy mounting. With a range of up to 60 miles, 9-speed Shimano gearing, and four pedal-assist modes (no throttle), these bikes are perfect for exploring the Gorge at your own pace—cruise up to 20 MPH with ease, and even faster with your own pedal power.

There are a couple of options:

1. We recommend that you download one of the 3 Parking Apps:
   1. Passport Parking
   2. WayToPark
   3. ParkMobile- (locals' favorite)

Apps enable users to electronically pay for parking without using coins at a meter or pay station. The new Mobile apps will work in all Pay to Park spaces. This also allows you to add more hours once the max of 3 has expired.

2. “Pay by Plate” requires users to enter license plate numbers when paying for parking at the Cale pay stations, eliminating the need to return to the vehicle to place a printed payment receipt on the dashboard, 3 hours max.

While the e-bike provides a lot of added propulsion, comfort, and fun, we recommend that you find yourself comfortable and self-assured riding on a bike: balancing yourself, shifting gears, braking, and navigating basic traffic.

Helmets are required and will be provided. Our helmets are cleaned daily and are very comfortable.

We prefer that you stay for the entire tour, except for special circumstances. For unforeseen events, we will accommodate your needs and keep everyone together.

We provide snack bars (GF/DF) for our daily tours. There will also be water to fill water bottles at the beginning, and several places along the tour to fill up. We ask that you please bring your own water bottle, if you have one. Otherwise, sport water bottles will be available for purchase on the day of ride for $10 at our shop headquarters.

To ensure there is plenty of room and bicycles for you and your friends/family, we highly recommend reserving in advance.

If it becomes too hot or too wet, we will use our best discretion on whether to change our itinerary for a different direction or hold out for the rain to stop or postpone for a later date. It is our main concern to keep everyone safe and have the most enjoyable day possible.

Yes, you can! The State of Oregon requires that anyone pedaling an e-bike to be 16 years of age or older, but we offer Burley ‘BEE’ bike trailers to accommodate the little ones (2 passengers, up to 100 pounds). Please note: your child should be able to be comfortable for the duration of the tour.

Pets are permitted in the trailers as well.
