Details to review before reserving
Rental options run from short 2‑hour hires up to 5‑day rentals, allowing flexibility from quick Valley Trail outings to multi‑day exploration.
Plan for a day on trail: consider sun protection, water, and clothing for lakeside stops; be aware that range varies with assist level and passenger load (RadRunner quoted at roughly 72 km).
Bookings and pickups are handled by Cycle Whistler; confirm passenger arrangements and any fit checks with the operator when you reserve.
Review age and weight restrictions before arrival—riders and passengers must meet the operator’s stated minimum ages and weight limits; certain child configurations require alternative e‑bike models.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
