Ubud Electric Bicycle Tours

For a first-timer, going on a holiday to Bali can be a bit overwhelming since the island has so many things to offer. It’s okay if you feel the same way, too. The most important thing is not to let your feelings get in the way so that you can decide what you should do to explore Bali in the best way possible.

Most travelers prefer to ride a motorbike to explore the island. But we have a better, cheaper, and more environmental-friendly option for you to try: Bali cycling tour! This activity is awesome because you get to see the views first-hand. You can also follow your own schedule.

However, we can’t deny the fact that joining a Bali cycling tour can be challenging, especially if it’s your first time. Worry not, we have compiled a simple guide and useful tips to help you get the best experience possible.

Book your tour

First thing first, book your Bali cycling tour. For those of you who are not really confident with your cycling skill, eBikes Bali can be a great option for you. It’s also great for older people or people who have problems with knees because we use high-quality electric bikes.

These bikes allow you to pedal, use electric, or any combination of the two. This way, you can bike around Bali comfortably since it requires less effort. Don’t worry, we also have high-capacity batteries so you will never run out of power during your trip.

Where to bike in Bali

Although Bali has amazing landscapes, not every place is suitable for you to bike through. Besides, Bali’s traffic is quite chaotic, so a bike ride in areas like Kuta and Denpasar is not recommended.

So, where can you ride a bike in Bali?

Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of options you can choose. If you want to see the breathtaking view, head north to Gunung Agung, Batur, and Kintamani. You can also head to Pura Besakih to visit the temple. Ubud is also a great place to bike as you can see beautiful rice fields along the way. Don’t forget to visit Goa Gajah Elephant Cave, too!

Best time for Bali cycling tour

Bali is usually busier during the dry season in April and September. The hot weather is good to enjoy on the beaches, but not so much for the cycling. Meanwhile, the rainy season lasts from October to March. The weather tends to be cooler but you don’t want to risk getting wet during your Bali cycling tour because of the rain.

That’s why we recommend you to take a bike trip to Bali at the end or the beginning of the rainy season. During this time, the skies are often cloudy but the chance of raining is relatively low.

Additional tips for your safety and comfort

To make sure you have a great time during your Bali cycling tour, don’t forget to follow these rules:

• Check the bike before heading out, make sure the brakes work properly and wheels are aligned.
• Make sure the road conditions are the type you can handle
• Bring your own helmet and gloves to ensure proper protection.
• Left-hand traffic prevails in Indonesia, so please ride on the left side of the road
• If there’s a basket in front of your bike, don’t put any of your valuables on it. Snatch-thefts on bikes and motorbikes have been known to happen.

Now you’re ready to have your first Bali cycling tour experience! Have fun!

Bali offers many destinations for your holiday needs. If you want to blend in with the crowds and party all night, Kuta is the way to go. But if you’re looking for a more relaxed destination, there’s no better place than Ubud. That’s why many people like to bring their families here for a holiday. It’s very kid friendly!

However, just because you bring kids for a holiday in Ubud, doesn’t mean you should limit your options for enjoying. The options are endless! Sure, you could rent a car to explore Ubud’s attractions and still have a great day. But, if you have some time to spare, joining an Ubud cycling tour may provide a meaningful experience that you never expected to have. And your family will thank you for that!

Bonding time!

Cycling around Ubud has its own perks for your family. First and foremost, you can hang out as a family and have fun together in a more adventurous way. Spending quality time being active with your family is a great way to bond.

Not only do you encourage your family to do something that can benefit their health, but you can also help your kids to create good habits around their physical activity. Besides, the whole experience of an Ubud cycling tour with your kids will also create an amazing experience that your kids will remember.

The views are spectacular

Ah, Ubud and its iconic views. You’ll find yourself in awe as you and your family are cycling around the area. There are actually many routes you can explore during the tour. But we recommend you to visit the Tegalalang Rice Terrace or Tirta Empul water temple. Along the way, prepare yourself to see the most beautiful rice fields. Many people consider this a highlight of their cycling trip through Ubud.

It’s suitable for both kids and elders

One of the most common concerns when it comes to cycling in Ubud is the safety, especially if you’re bringing your family members from different age ranges. Well, actually there’s nothing to worry about because there is a range of different bikes available to suit all riders’ abilities.

The key is to find the right service provider for your Ubud cycling tour plan. One great option is to go cycling with eBikes Bali, especially if your grandma or grandpa are planning to come along, too. eBikes Bali provides an Ubud cycling tour using electric bikes. These bikes allow you to pedal, use electric, or any combination of the two. That means anyone can do our cycling tour since it requires less effort.

Full culture experience for the whole family

Last but definitely not least, an Ubud cycling tour also allows you to get the full culture experience for the whole family. For instance, if you choose to sign up for the eBikes Bali Tegalalang tour, you can ride through the village and visit temples. Don’t worry, the whole way you will be accompanied by a local guide who is super happy to share their culture with you and your family.

So, next time you find yourself and your family in Ubud, make sure to explore the area by joining the Ubud cycling tour. It’s the best way to feel the breeze in your hair and the fresh smell of Ubud’s nature. Besides, cycling in Ubud is also eco-friendly!

Here at eBikes Bali we get lots of emails everyday asking various questions about our Ubud cycling tour.  One of the most common ones is, is the tour OK for older people?  We are always so happy to answer with a resounding, YES!

The electric bicycle is a great “equalizer”.  It doesn’t matter if you are old or young, fit or wannabe-fit.  The ability to add electrical assistance to your pedaling (or not pedal at all) means that anyone can do our bicycle tour.  This is really important since the area around Ubud is quite hilly and the electric bicycle really flattens out those hills.

With age comes various things which might slow one down on a bicycle tour.  Maybe the strength just isn’t there like it was in days past, maybe an injury picked up along the road of life slows things a bit, or maybe it’s that extra wisdom which tells you that on holiday it’s best to save some energy for sunset cocktails.  No matter what the issue may be, we are happy to offer an activity which allows everyone to have fun.

I remember our first week of operation we had a group of 4 people in their late 60’s ask if our cycling tour would be suitable for them.  I figured the answer was yes, but I wasn’t sure.  I explained to them how the bikes worked and told them that I thought they would be fine.  They decided to go on the tour and when they came back they were all smiles.  Brilliant!  Incredible!  So much fun!  They had a blast and were no worse for wear.

Since then we have had countless guests of advanced years enjoy our tour.  Our oldest guest was 81 and absolutely loved it.  We also have an electric buggy which follows the Ubud bicycle tour along the route.  The main purpose of the buggy is to provide support (in case of flat tires and such) but if at any time a guest wants to get off the bike and opt for the buggy they are more than welcome.

So if you are of a distinguished age and would like to have a great time exploring the incredible Ubud countryside, have no worries, we have the bicycle tour for you!

A Half Day Ubud Bike Tour is Perfect

When we started eBikes Bali we knew that we wanted to offer half-day Ubud bicycle tours.  We knew that there were incredible things to see around Ubud and that seeing them on a bicycle was the way to do it.  There was just one problem, hills!  That’s where the electric bicycle comes in.  An electric bicycle allows you to go up those hills as if they weren’t there.

Other Ubud bicycle tours require that you take a van up to the top of the mountain and roll down.  There’s just one problem with that, it takes too much time!  Going up the mountain is a popular tourist activity for many tourists, especially the Chinese and domestic tourists who go up there in big tour busses.  This means one thing, traffic.  So, between having to take the van up the mountain, fight traffic, then take another van back to Ubud you have now spent an entire day on your cycling tour.  We think that’s unnecessary.

At eBikes Bali we want to deliver you an unforgettable experience in a convenient amount of time.  That is why when we pick you up from your hotel you get a private car.  We don’t pick you up and then hop from hotel to hotel picking up others.  No way!  We pick you up privately and will usually have you at the tour’s starting point in under ten minutes. Yes, under ten minutes.  That’s because we don’t need to drive up a mountain just to roll down.  Our electric bikes give you the freedom to go uphill with ease.

In life, time is the most valuable thing you have.  Nowhere is this more true than when on holiday.  You took the time off work, you spent time booking flights and hotels, you are likely spending a lot of money on your trip.  This means that every hour is precious and you should make the most of it.

We are always conscious of your time.  That’s why we give you a private pickup, that’s why we put more guides per guest on a tour than any other company, that’s why we take photos for you so you can enjoy the scenery.  Our half-day Ubud cycling tour only takes half a day but is FULL quality.
