From the town’s edge to the tree‑lined corridor of the Legacy Trail, Canmore’s rugged silhouettes and river corridors feel closer on two wheels when the hard work is shared with a pedal‑assist motor. E‑bike rentals in Canmore are set up to remove the grunt from climbs and extend the day’s reach, so you can cruise toward Banff, roll alongside the Bow River and detour into town to uncover small local highlights without burning out.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Legacy Trail Toward Banff

The Legacy Trail provides a mostly paved, scenic corridor that riders commonly use to make a gradual run toward Banff — an ideal stretch to take advantage of pedal‑assist and cover more ground with less effort.

RIVER VIEW

Bow River Rambles

Rolling paths along the Bow River offer frequent water views and an easy, restorative cadence — perfect for relaxed riding and regular stops to take in the landscape.

LOCAL FINDS

Hidden Gems Around Town

With high‑quality gear and local route recommendations, riders can slip off main corridors to discover shops, viewpoints and quieter streets that give Canmore its character.

What the day feels like

How the Ride Feels

The day unfolds as an effortless progression: bikes picked up in town, a gentle rollout onto the Legacy Trail, stretches of riverfront pedaling and short exploratory detours into neighborhoods. Pedal‑assist smooths climbs and lets riders of mixed ability travel farther and stay out longer without the fatigue of a fully human‑powered ride.
