Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BIKE

Step-through comfort with pedal assist

The fleet features step-through electric bikes with multi-gear drivetrains and pedal-assist power so you can go farther and take on hills with less effort — ideal for riders who want a relaxed, exploratory day.

THE PATHWAYS

Options across an expanding network

Choose from mapped routes or invent your own loop through Drumheller’s network of paths — the options grow as the pathway system expands, giving you freedom to tailor distance and difficulty.

THE PICNIC

Pack a cooler, make a day of it

Enhance a rental with a picnic packed into the provided cooler bag so you can stop, eat and soak in the valley scenery rather than rushing to finish a route.

What the day feels like

What the ride feels like

This is a self‑directed, low‑stress outing: mount a comfortable step‑through e‑bike, select a route from the pathway map or improvise, and roll at a pace that suits you. Pedal assist evens out the climbs and extends how far you can go, while the bike’s display keeps you informed of speed, battery and time so you stay in control of your outing.
