Full‑suspension Specialized Levos
The operator supplies full‑suspension electric‑assist mountain bikes—Specialized Levos—that amplify pedaling power so climbs that once felt daunting become attainable with sustained assistance.
Climb thousands of feet with surprising ease
Electric assist transforms long ascents into manageable efforts: expect to gain substantial elevation quickly and reach sweeping viewpoints above Napa Valley, making extended exploration possible over the three‑day rental.
Ride straight from the shop into the hills
You can roll out from Calistoga Bikeshop and be high above the valley floor within an hour, unlocking both nearby singletrack and farther‑flung routes that benefit from the extra range the bikes provide.
What the day feels like
What the three‑day rental feels like
Over three days you experience a different tempo of riding: the e‑assist multiplies your pedaling so gradual, sustained climbs feel like flat stretches and long rides open up. The bikes require pedaling—there is no throttle—so motion is still earned, but the assistance turns steep ascents and extended loops into accessible adventures, letting you explore trails above Calistoga with dramatic valley views.
