Eilat Electric Mountain Bike Ride: Single Tracks & Vista

Ride into the mountains without the strain, then down through single tracks at your own pace.

An electric mountain bike activity in Eilat's desert where you ride single tracks up into the mountains to a vista point overlooking Aqaba Bay and the surrounding region, with a qualified instructor, e-bike and protective gear included. The tour lasts around two hours and starts with bike fitting and a safety briefing before you practice on flat ground. Minimum age is 16 and a moderate fitness level is expected.

The experience

You start at the ranch with bike fitting and safety gear (helmet, knee pads, elbow pads), then a briefing on how the e-bike works and where you're heading. A few minutes of practice on flat ground lets the instructor see how comfortable you are before the ride begins. The motor does the heavy lifting on climbs, so steep terrain that would exhaust you on a regular bike feels manageable. That's what changes the day.

The route leaves the dirt roads after about ten minutes and enters the single tracks: narrow, winding trails cut through the desert. You ride uphill into the mountains for roughly an hour until you reach the vista point, where you can see across Aqaba Bay to Eilat, Aqaba city and into Saudi Arabia. After a rest, you head back on the same trails, this time descending through the single tracks and returning to the ranch.

The guide speaks English or Hebrew and stays with the group throughout. Safety is built into every stage (the briefing, the practice run, the instructor watching your riding before you start), so the focus stays on the ride itself and the terrain you're moving through.

What’s included

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

How steep are the climbs on this e-bike ride in Eilat?

The climbs are steep enough that they would be difficult on a regular bike, but the electric motor makes them feel easy. That's the main reason the tour includes them. You'll ride uphill for the first hour of the tour to reach the vista point.

What are the single tracks like that we ride on?

The single tracks are narrow, winding trails cut through the Eilat desert. After leaving the dirt roads about ten minutes into the ride, you'll spend most of the tour on these tracks: climbing through them on the way up, then descending on the way back down to the ranch.

How long does the whole activity take?

The activity runs for around two hours total, including the bike fitting, safety briefing, practice session and the actual ride to the vista point and back.

Do I need mountain biking experience to do this?

No prior experience is required, but you should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness. The instructor will watch how you ride during the practice session before the tour starts to make sure you're comfortable on the bike.

What's included with the e-bike rental?

The e-mountain bike, helmet, knee pads and elbow pads are all included. The guide provides instruction on how to operate the bike and leads you through the entire route.

What can you see from the vista point?

From the vista point roughly an hour into the ride, you can see across Aqaba Bay to Eilat city, Aqaba city in Jordan and into Saudi Arabia: the whole region spreads out below you.
