The Experience

You're in Quebec City for an afternoon or a first morning, and you want to see the falls without renting a car or waiting for a shuttle. The e-bike gets you out of the downtown core and onto the river path—you'll roll through Domaine de Maizerets, a 17th-century estate with its gardens still intact, then follow the Saint Lawrence toward the Bay of Beauport, where the water opens up and the Île d'Orléans sits across the channel. The pace is steady enough that you're not racing, but the e-bike means the hills don't slow you down.

At the base of Montmorency Falls, you board the cable car and ride up the cliff face to the boardwalk. From there, the suspension bridge takes you out over the gorge—the waterfall drops 83 metres, higher than Niagara, and the roar is loud enough that you feel it. The guide points out the landscape and the river below. You get time to stand there and take it in before heading back down the same way.

The tour runs 4 hours total and covers about 26 kilometres on the bike. Your guide is a local who speaks English, Spanish or French and knows the stops well. The rental includes an e-bike (or a regular urban bike if you prefer), helmet, and the gear you need; water and a snack are provided. Children as young as 12 can join if they're comfortable riding on their own; anyone under 16 gets a regular bike instead of the e-bike.
