Harry's
Electric Bike Tours around Quito
My name is Harry and I have been living in Quito since 2018. I bought an E-bike during the pandemic and fell in love with the freedom it gave me. I have cycled all over Quito and the surrounding areas so I bought two more electric bikes to take friends and family with me on my rides. I have decided to extend this to you guys so that you can see Ecuador in a unique and personalised way when you visit and book a private tour and join me on some of my favourite cycling routes!
Tours Around Quito
Inside the city I can take you on 3 hour half-day tours. Either through the city streets on the bicycle lane or to 'Metropolitano park'. On Sunday the city is closed from North to South to cars and we can cycle through it including the historic centre - called the 'Ciclovia'.All city tours cost $45 per person and include water, a snack and a crash helmet.All tours are for one or two people - perfect for a young or middle aged couple who want to see Ecuador in a different way!


Tours Outside Quito
Full day tours from 5-8 hours can also be arranged. We will start and finish each tour in Quito but will go by car to the start point from 30 minutes up to 2 hours away. Tours to 'El Chaquiñan', 'Bosque Nublado Yunguilla' and 'Cotopaxi' are available.Full day tours from $65 to $95 per person depending on the location - including water, a snack and crash helmet. A lunch stop will be available too.
About the Bikes
The E-bikes have a maximum weight limit of 100kg and a minimum height limit of 152cm. They are pedal assist which means the battery kicks in only when you start pedaling. They have a range of 50km so all tours are designed that we cycle no more than that. You should be in reasonable shape as you are still required to pedal for the entire tour - the electric motor just means you won't feel exhausted when you do it. If you can ride a regular bicycle then you can ride an e-bike, there really is no learning curve!
