Hollywood Sign: Electric Mountain Bike Tour & Scenic Hills

Summary

Electric mountain biking above hollywood sign with city views

You’ll ride a premium electric mountain bike up through the Hollywood Hills with a small group and guide, passing Lake Hollywood Park and winding your way above the iconic Hollywood Sign. Expect easy climbs thanks to electric assist, plenty of photo stops, and unexpected moments—like catching ocean views or trading jokes with your guide—that’ll stick with you long after.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the soft hum of my electric mountain bike as we rolled up past Lake Hollywood Park — not loud, just this low whir that mixed with the chatter of early morning dog walkers. Our guide, Marcus, handed me a helmet (I never look cool in those) and gave us a quick rundown. He joked about picking the Ducati if I wanted to feel like a movie star; I went with the Specialized because it just felt right in my hands. The air smelled faintly of eucalyptus, and someone nearby was eating something spicy — maybe leftover tacos? It’s LA.

The climb into the Hollywood Hills was easier than I expected. The electric assist on these bikes really does most of the work, so you don’t have to be some Tour de France athlete or anything. We zigzagged up paved roads and then Marcus pointed out an optional single track — I tried it for about ten seconds before chickening out (not ashamed). There were bursts of wildflowers along the path, and every so often you’d catch this view: downtown LA stretching out in haze, ocean way off in the distance if you squint. At one point, a jogger waved at us — people here are weirdly friendly before noon.

We stopped above the Hollywood Sign itself — not just near it but actually looking down over those big white letters. I didn’t expect to feel much (I mean, it’s a sign?), but standing there with wind tugging at my sleeves and all of LA laid out below… I still think about that view sometimes. Marcus snapped photos for everyone and told us how locals used to sneak up here at night. He laughed when someone tried to pronounce “Griffith” like a local — nobody gets it right on their first try.
