Wind your way out of town along quiet vineyard lanes, through pockets of redwood and toward country climbs that feel surprisingly accessible when you’re on the right machine. Calistoga’s one‑day Comfort and E‑Bike rentals let you tailor effort to mood—spin gently through flat, scenic roads on an Electra Loft or use pedal‑assist to broaden your radius and tackle steeper country roads without slogging.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE E-BIKE

Pedal‑assist that widens your map

E‑bikes provide pedal assist so riders can equalize ability levels and cover more ground—making redwood pockets and country climbs reachable while still feeling flat.

THE ROUTE

Quiet vineyard spins

Comfort Electra Loft bikes are built for calm, scenic spins on flat, quiet roads and bike paths around Calistoga—routes of up to about 17 miles suit these seven‑speed, easy‑handling bikes.

THE FAMILY OPTION

Kids, trailers and tandems

Bring children on a two‑wheeled adventure with kids’ bikes or child trailers and consider a tandem for two riders—staff will help you get set up, and children are required to wear helmets when using equipment.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

Pick up your bike in Calistoga and choose how hard you want to work. On an Electra Loft comfort bike you’ll drift through vineyard lanes with a simple seven‑speed drivetrain and room for a picnic; on an e‑bike the pedal assist lets groups stay together and expands the day’s possibilities—more miles, a dip into the redwoods or even a country climb that would otherwise feel like a slog.
