E-MOUNTAIN BIKES – NOVICE/BEGINNER LEVEL
Our Mountain e-Bike tour is an eco-friendly way to explore Kualoa Ranch, offering a more “down-to-earth” and sustainable experience. With the specialized Yamaha engines that assist you while going uphill (if you want the help), you will have a unique experience that allows you to get close to nature and explore the sights, sounds and smells of the Hawaiian forests. This 2-hour guided tour is good for all ages, but you do need to know how to ride a bike!
Cruise through Kualoa’s valley roads, pastures, and trails on an e-Mountain Bike. While you still have to peddle, these state-of-the-art eBikes have a small electric motor that gives you a boost up the hills and throughout the ride, making for a fun, active and eco-friendly experience getting out into nature. Our novice tour travels ~6 miles through Kualoa and Kaaawa valleys, making 4-5 stops along the journey, providing great photo ops and beautiful views. We’ll have your bike adjusted for you, and begin with a safety assessment and short practice ride before starting the tour.

Tour Reviews
A fantastic way to see the ranch! The electric assisted bikes are super easy to use and make light work of the steepest of hills. Jay was a great guide and the weather even came to the party with perfect riding conditions. Highly recommend it!
Best Tour ever! Thank you Jay👍☺
We are an older couple (in our sixties) and had a great exile tour. At first it was, ” what were we thinking!”; but ‘T’ our guide was the best. She showed us how to work the gears and gave us riding tips, then started off at a slow pace gradually picking up the pace. We stopped a several movie sites and the bunker took pics while T talked about the history, the movies, and current sustainable farming practices at the Ranch. At the conclusion of the tour, we like professional riders 😃. Thanks T for a great adventure. We also enjoyed the scenery, museum, and very helpful staff.
We didn’t want to ride a horse but we also wanted some speed. Ebikes were by far the best choice. This is a place you have to come and visit if you are in Oahu
I am so sad I can’t give 6 stars to this tour. Riding a bike at the Jurassic Valley is something you might wanna do while you are in the island of Oahu. Very affordable tour and service is fantastic
My friend recommended me this tour and I am glad we found some availability. We actually took the last 3 bikes. We were very lucky, which makes me advise you to book with plenty of time. Do not leave your reservation for Kualoa at the last minute.
