The experience
The tour starts at the eBikes Ubud office with a safety briefing, then you ride electric bikes for around two hours through the plantations and villages surrounding Ubud. The motor does the work you don't want to do, so steep climbs and long flats become optional effort instead of a slog. You'll pass local houses, village temples and the subak irrigation system (the traditional water-sharing method that earned Tegalalang its UNESCO recognition) without needing to arrange transport or navigate on your own.
Petulu village sits partway through the route, famous among locals for the herons that roost there each evening. You'll stop to see the traditional architecture and get a sense of daily life outside the tourist zones. The guide provides commentary at each stop, explaining what you're looking at and why it matters to the people who live there.
At Tegalalang Rice Terrace, you spend around 45 minutes on the ground. A Balinese lunch is served here: a chance to rest, eat and take in the scale of the terraces stacked across the hillside. After lunch, an air-conditioned vehicle picks you up and returns you to your hotel in the Ubud area, so the ride back is a break rather than another push on the bike.
Is this one for you?Choose the option with hotel pickup if you're staying in Ubud and want to skip arranging your own transport to the starting point. If you're renting your own transport or prefer to meet at the office, the tour without hotel transfer keeps the price lower and works just as well.

Top questions
What's the Tegalalang Rice Terrace and why is it UNESCO-listed?
Tegalalang Rice Terrace is a series of rice paddies carved into the hillside near Ubud, famous for its subak irrigation system. A centuries-old method where water is shared among farmers according to a strict schedule and ritual. UNESCO recognized it as a World Heritage site because the system balances agriculture, culture and the landscape in a way that has survived for generations.
Do I need to be fit to ride an electric bike on this tour?
Electric bikes are suitable for all fitness levels because the motor handles the pedaling when you need it. You choose how much effort to use: coast on flats, let the motor climb hills, or pedal as much as you want. The tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with poor cardiovascular health.
What happens at Petulu village during the tour?
Petulu is a stop on the route where you see traditional Balinese houses and learn about the village's reputation for herons that gather there at dusk. The guide explains the architecture and daily life in the village, and you have time to look around before continuing to the rice terrace.
Is hotel pickup included, and does it cover all of Ubud?
Hotel pickup and drop-off are included in the tour, but only for hotels in the Ubud area. An air-conditioned vehicle collects you before the ride and returns you after lunch at the rice terrace, so you don't need to arrange your own transport to the starting point.
How long is the actual riding on the electric bikes?
The electric bike portion of the tour runs for around two hours, covering the villages and approach to Tegalalang Rice Terrace. You'll stop at temples, traditional houses and Petulu village along the way, then spend about 45 minutes at the terrace itself for lunch and photos.
