This five‑day rental pairs full‑suspension electric‑assist mountain bikes with the steep, vineyard‑rim terrain around Calistoga. The assistance lets you pedal farther and climb thousands of feet with the effort of riding on the flats; these Specialized Levo e‑MTBs are built for local singletrack and longer outings alike. Availability is limited, so plan and reserve ahead.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BIKE

Full‑suspension Specialized Levos

The fleet is composed of full‑suspension electric‑assist mountain bikes—Specialized Levos—designed for trail use and sustained climbing with pedal‑assist rather than a throttle.

THE ASCENT

Effortless climbs and sweeping views

With pedal‑assist you can ascend thousands of feet while expending similar effort to riding on flat ground; it’s possible to ride from the shop to roughly 1,800 feet above the valley floor in about an hour and find sweeping views of Napa Valley.

THE ACCESS

Ride straight from the shop

Routes start right from the Calistoga shop, making longer or multiple‑day exploration convenient—note these e‑bikes are popular and availability is limited, so call ahead for sizing and reservations.

What the day feels like

What five days on an e‑MTB in Calistoga feels like

Stretching several days on an electric‑assist mountain bike in this corner of Napa Valley shifts the way you move through the landscape: climbs that once defined your route become launchpads for longer laps and higher viewpoints. The pedal‑assist multiplies your range, the full‑suspension Levos smooth out technical trail sections, and each day can be tailored from shorter spins to sustained ascents that put the valley into perspective.
