Description
Get tickets to Instagrammable Edmonton E-Bike Tours hosted by Linda Hoang @lindork presented by Pedego Electric Bikes Edmonton.
This ticket page is for the Wednesday, June 8, 2022 - 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. tour.
** MEETING LOCATION AND OTHER TOUR INFO WILL BE EMAILED DIRECT TO PARTICIPANTS PRIOR TO THE TOUR! **
These e-bike tours will feature:
- Instagrammable Walls
- Instagrammable Landmarks
- Instagrammable (lol) FOOD!
We will e-bike through several different areas across the city including Old Strathcona, the river valley, and Downtown.
- Each tour has a max of 10 spots
- You must be 18+ to participate in this tour
- You must also have ridden a regular bike before (really just to balance—the e-bike will do most of the work lol)
- If you can ride a regular bike, you can ride an e-bike—in fact the e-bike will be easier than riding a bike!
- You will be required to sign a waiver to participate.
- You will be asked to arrive 15 minutes early to get a short e-bike tutorial (it’s really easy!)
E-BIKES MAKE BIKING ACCESSIBLE!
Please note: no athleticism is required to participate and this is NOT an intense biking tour.
Pedego E-bikes have something called a Throttle handle, where you lightly hold down on the handle while on the bike and it will propel you forward. If you are worried about whether you can handle biking for hours—you CAN on this e-bike! With e-bike throttle you don't even have to pedal if you don't want to (I rarely pedal on an e-bike, I just hold down the throttle and GO!) That being said, while the biking itself will be EASY (a literal breeze), this is NOT a super leisurely tour because I want to take you to so many places in a short amount of time lol so we will be pretty go-go-go—but it is NOT a difficult tour because the e-bikes do nearly all the work!
Tickets are: $75 per person and includes:
- A Pedego e-bike rental!
- Stops at a dozen Instagrammable Walls and Landmarks across Edmonton
- 4 food stops (one is a take-home snack)
- A take-home polaroid keepsake at a location of your choice
* please note the camera is sometimes finicky so this photo may or may not turn out lol this should not make or break your tour lol - A bottle of water in a vinyl reusable Pedego bag
- Chance to win a door prize: a metal Pedego water bottle
- Chance to win more prizes if you share about the tour on social media
- Fun facts about the neighbourhoods, walls, artists, artwork, landmarks, and e-biking in Edmonton
- Helmets are also provided! But you are welcome to bring your own if you have one
Participants of my tours will get a discount code for 20% off their next Pedego rental!
If you want to get 10% off e-bike rentals for your own adventure with Pedego (without going on my tour), use my code: 10Lindork
Please note: there are meat OR vegetarian options for food stops, however unfortunately for these tours I am NOT able to accommodate other food allergies/dietary restrictions on the tour (products do contain wheat/gluten and products are not vegan). If you have specific food concerns, please send me a note.
Donation to Bent Arrow Traditional Healing Society
As June is National Indigenous History Month, and the tours take place in Treaty 6 Territory, a traditional meeting ground, gathering place and traveling route for the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene Nakota Sioux and Métis, and as part of my own ongoing acts of reconciliation, I'll be donating 20% of proceeds from ticket sales to a wonderful organization called Bent Arrow Traditional Healing Society which has been providing a range of services to support Indigenous children, youth and families since 1994.
Refund/Reschedule/Cancellation Policy
We want to do these tours rain or shine—especially given that Edmonton's summer rains are pretty short lived, so come in weather-appropriate attire and footwear, however we will be watching the weather and MAY cancel a tour if it's going to be too rainy that day (that's just not a fun tour for anyone). If WE cancel the tour, you will get the option of a refund OR to reschedule to a later date. YOU are welcome to cancel up to 2 days before the tour with a full refund. If you cancel the tour on the day of, you can receive a partial refund but not a full refund (we pre-order food).

About E-Bikes
Electric bikes help you bike farther and faster than cycling on a regular bike. As such, e-bikes really open up the door to cycling accessibility! I love renting e-bikes to explore cities I visit and I can do this exploration where I don't even break a sweat. I absolutely love e-biking recreationally, and many are choosing e-bikes as their main mode of transportation as well! There are many benefits to electric biking.
About Pedego Edmonton
Pedego is one of the most well-known and respected brands in the e-bike world, in fact they're industry-leading! Operating sine 2008, when you buy a Pedego, you get a 5 year warranty, a choice of over 20 different styles of bikes to fit all types of riders and riding styles (the COLOURS I cannot get over the colours!), over 200 independent and locally-owned Pedego Stores across North America that are able to service your bike whenever you need it, exceptional service and quality!
In Edmonton, Pedego is operated by a local family that is also in the process of building a bike mechanic school that will offer courses to individuals wanting to become professional bike mechanics (watch for that this winter!) Pedego Edmonton is community minded and supports local charities. They work closely with Bike Edmonton, a non-profit society that hosts bike workshops and offers cycling education for all ages.
