Overview

The electric bikes make taking a three hour tour effortlessly. You will ease up the hills of Seattle while smiling. After the tour you will have seen many unique sites, expanded your knowledge of the waterways, the animals of the Sound and the neighborhoods, and you will have had an enjoyable and memorable experience that's truly all about Seattle. The electric bikes allow for close up viewing of the gardens, boat docks and other sites. Your guide is a local. I grew up in Seattle, taught in Seattle schools, I care about the city and the natural settings and continue to build my knowledge of Seattle. The helmets have an intercom system that helps us communicate while riding the bikes. Your safety is a priority, we stick mainly to bike paths and lightly traveled roads. Please check out the reviews on my website. Must be 16 to take the tour. The bikes are only designed for adults. I charge per bike. I do not charge for children riding on the back of the cargo bike.

Meeting points

The meeting location is in the Ballard neighborhood, 20-25 minutes north of downtown Seattle. The cross streets are NW 67th St and 24th Ave NW. The bus line #40 from downtown runs along 24th Ave NW, stops at NW 65th St. Walk up two blocks. Look for the electric bikes on NW 67th.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Sunset Hill Park

    This is a view spot of the water and mountains. On a clear day you can see the Olympic Mountains, West Point Lighthouse and the ferries crossing the Sound. You can hear the seals barking and watch the cargo and tugboats float by. I tell you all I know about Seattle in 10 minutes and highlight the some of the most charismatic creatures that inhabit our waterways.

    10 minutes

  • Ballard

    The Ballard Locks are Seattle's 3rd most popular attraction. We walk the bikes through the Carl English Botanical Gardens before seeing the boats pass through the locks. The locks opened in 1917 and connects salt water to the fresh water of Lake Washington. It's the busiest lock in the United States and also popular with migrating salmon and the seals, sea lions, eagles, and osprey who come for an easy meal. There's a fish ladder with an underwater viewing gallery.

    20 minutes

  • Fishermen's Terminal

    Seattle 's roots are in the fishing industry and the Fishermen's Terminal is the place to see real live fishermen and fisherwomen, and the Alaskan fishing fleet. 50% of all seafood sold in the United States is associated with this marina. We can ride the electric bikes all the way down the docks and get right up to the boats. I'll tell you how salmon fishing operates and why the Alaskan fishermen spend the off-season in Seattle rather than just stay in Alaska.

    12 minutes

  • Wallingford Center

    Not the Center but Gasworks Park in the Wallingford neighborhood. Favorite place to take pictures and on the 4th of July watch the fireworks. It was a gasification plant, the old machines are still there. There a great view of the city, the Space Needle and I'll point out the Sleepless in Seattle houseboat.

Unique way to see Seattle

Published on Dec, 2024

Awesome way to explore the city. Went with friends who had previously lived in Seattle for a couple years and they saw parts of the city they'd never seen before and really enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

Fun and easy breezy bike around Seattle!

Published on Oct, 2024

We had a great time with David on one of the most beautiful days of the year in Seattle! The bikes were smooth (and as an e-bike owner myself, very easy to pick up) and it was fun to be able to communicate via helmet intercom with our guide and the rest of the group. We caught a few great viewpoints over the Sound and the Ballard Locks and even saw a cute sea lion tumbling in the water. Thanks again for a great tour and easy ride!

Worth every pedal and throttle

Published on Oct, 2024

It was a solo trip to Seattle. I am grateful for the pleasant weather and the fantastic e-bike tour guide, Joe. He gave clear instructions ahead of time with every bend, turn, and crossing of the street. His discussions about the nature and history of Seattle were engaging. The ease of throttling and navigation on the flat roads with a few inclines made me appreciate more about the beauty of the town while never feeling short of breath and tired. I had a lovely experience going through different neighborhoods while also learning about the water system and nature. I hope to return and encourage others to signup for this e-bike tour.

Great experience while in Seattle

Published on Sep, 2024

Great experience and your guide was very knowledgeable. Went to a lot of neat places that wouldn’t have other wise checked out.

Best Bike Tour in Seattle! MUST DO!!!

Published on Sep, 2024

We were gifted this when we first moved to Seattle and then we purchased two additional rides for friends! I have to say... this is an INCREDIBLE experience. Joe was our tour guide and we could not have asked for a better tour guide. Joe is incredibly kind, so knowledgable and it is clear he is passionate about the history of Seattle and delighted his guests. He took us some epic spots we have never visited even after living here for 3 years! You even get to play a game at the end of the ride and the prize for the winner is pretty epic too! :) Joe.... we will keep telling everyone we know who comes to visit to do this amazing experience! Thank you for a wonderful day out exploring this beautiful city!
