The experience

The tour begins with a private training session in a controlled environment where you learn to operate the Cyrusher Kommoda E-Bikes safely before heading out. Once you're comfortable with the throttle and brakes, the guide leads you through Old Town Scottsdale (a nine-neighborhood downtown with shops, galleries, restaurants and historic sites dating back to the late 1880s), and then onto the 11.5-mile pedestrian-only pathway that is the heart of the ride.

The route follows the Scottsdale Greenbelt, passing golf courses and parks, then heads toward Tempe Town Lake, Arizona's second-most visited public attraction. Along the way you'll see ASU's football stadium (where the first Super Bowl in Arizona was held), A Mountain, and Papago Park, which sits between the Phoenix Zoo and the Desert Botanical Garden. The park itself holds Arizona history: it was a reservation, a fish hatchery during the Great Depression, a POW camp in World War II, and a VA hospital. Hole-in-the-Rock, a formation on the park's east side with a 200-foot climb in a tenth of a mile, offers views of the downtown skyline and is thought to have been used by the ancient Hohokam civilization to track the sun.

The Desert Botanical Garden, which spreads across 55 acres and holds thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from around the world, is another major stop. Throughout the ride, ample photo opportunities come at each of the 10 sought-after locations. The e-bikes handle the pedaling. You focus on the scenery and the guide's commentary. Expect sunny Scottsdale weather and bring the included bottled water.

What's the Scottsdale Greenbelt pathway like on this tour?

Hole-in-the-Rock is a rock formation on the east side of Papago Park featuring a main chamber with views of the downtown skyline and nearby lagoons.

The tour includes 10 photo stops at sought-after Scottsdale locations: Old Town Scottsdale, Tempe Town Lake, ASU's football stadium, A Mountain, Papago Park, the Hunt tomb, Hole-in-the-Rock, and the Desert Botanical Garden, among others. Each stop is designed for photo opportunities.
