At high elevations and in a dry climate, staying hydrated, wearing warm, breathable layers, and using sun protection are essential. Weather in New Mexico can also shift quickly, so be prepared for sudden changes.

All roads traveled are paved or gravel with moderate hills. Our bikes are equipped with suspension seat posts for a smoother ride, but with many narrow streets, it’s crucial to ride safely and stay alert.

Our fat-tire e-bikes are intentionally built for stability and comfort on Taos’ varied terrain. Because they include a motor, battery and wider tires, they are heavier than a traditional bicycle. Once you’re riding, the pedal assist makes them feel light and effortless — but at low speeds, while mounting, dismounting or pausing at stops, you may notice the additional weight.

Your guide will demonstrate safe techniques for handling, steadying and getting on and off the bikes before we begin. Many of our guests are new to e-biking, so you will be well supported as you acclimate.

We recommend closed-toe, supportive footwear and attentiveness when stopping and stabilizing the bike. With just a little awareness, most guests feel confident within minutes and quickly ease into the joy and freedom of exploring Taos on two wheels.
