The experience
You're arriving at Lake Tahoe with a free afternoon and no plan to spend it sitting still. Pick up your e-bike from the shop and cruise down to the Lakeshore Bike Path, then ride about 1.5 miles until the brand new East Shore Bike Path opens up in front of you. From there, the route runs 3 miles along the water from Incline all the way to Sand Harbor, separated from the highway the whole way. The electric assist takes the work out of the uphill sections, so the hills that would normally slow you down become something you roll through without strain.
Most riders spend up to 2 hours on the bike itself, which leaves you plenty of time to stop. The coves along the way are the real draw: pull over at one, lock the bike, and wade into Tahoe's water or spread out on the sand. Bring snacks and water, or pack a picnic lunch to eat with the lake in front of you. Sand Harbor, where the path ends, is the natural stopping point, but the route is yours to shape: ride straight through, or break it into a morning and an afternoon with a long lunch in between.
The bike comes with a helmet, lock, water bottle holder and phone mount. You park your car at the shop, so there's no scrambling to find a spot along the highway. Children from age 2 can ride along in a specialized infant seat if you want to bring them. The whole outing (pickup, riding, stopping, returning the bike) fits inside a morning or an afternoon depending on how long you linger at the water.

How far is the East Shore Bike Path from where I pick up the bike?
The East Shore Bike Path is about 1.5 miles from the shop. You ride down to the Lakeshore Bike Path first, then continue until you reach the East Shore route, which runs 3 miles from Incline to Sand Harbor.
Can I swim in Lake Tahoe during this ride?
Yes. You can stop at any of the coves and beaches along the East Shore Bike Path and go for a swim or sunbathe. Sand Harbor at the end of the route is also a good spot to dip in the water.
What if I'm not a strong cyclist? Will the hills be a problem?
The electric assist handles the uphill sections, so hills that would normally be difficult become manageable. The e-bike does the work for you, making the ride accessible even if you don't cycle regularly.
How long does the whole outing take?
Most guests spend up to 2 hours riding the bike itself, which leaves extra time to stop at beaches or coves along the way. The full outing (pickup, riding and returning the bike) fits inside a 4-hour window.
What's included with the e-bike rental?
The e-bike comes with a helmet, bike lock, water bottle holder and phone mount. You also get parking at the shop, so you don't need to find a spot along the highway.
