Route Schematic

Typical route schematic

Though exact routes vary, expect to start at the shop, climb local trail systems, and reach high viewpoints above the valley.

  1. Calistoga Bikeshop — rollout point

    The rental begins at Calistoga Bikeshop where you collect the full‑suspension Specialized Levo and set out directly onto nearby trails.

  2. Local trail ascent

    A steady climb on local singletrack that leverages the bike’s electric assist to accelerate elevation gain and extend the ride radius.

  3. Viewpoint above Napa Valley

    Reach sweeping views of the valley—riders can be roughly 1,800 feet above the valley floor in about an hour—rewarding the climb with broad panoramas.

These are pedal‑assist bikes (no throttle); while the assistance makes long climbs far easier, riders still need to pedal. Availability is limited and popular—confirm bike size and reserve ahead to lock in a rental. Operator route choices and access may vary with conditions.

THE BIKES

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.

THE ASCENT

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.

THE ACCESS

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.
