Many reviews highlight how much they enjoyed wandering, stopping for ice cream, or browsing local artisans’ shops.

Once you’re ready, you can head out to the vineyards—which are arguably the highlight of the area. The ebike’s up to 40 km range lets you glide past sprawling grape orchards, where the scent of ripe fruit is nearly tangible. A reviewer noted the “beautiful scenery” and appreciated the tips on where to go, making their ride both scenic and insightful.

Scenic Routes and Highlights

Perhaps the most loved part of this tour is the variety of routes available. You can venture through trails along the river, stopping at a few wineries—like the famed Gretchy Winery—thanks to a suggested route from your host, Rich, who provides a map and local advice. Many guests rave about biking along the water and visiting the historic Old Town with its preserved architecture and lively market scene.

A standout is the trail through grape orchards, which provides a genuine taste of rural Ontario. Riding along these lush rows, with most of the traffic kept away, feels like discovering a secret. The scenery is so inviting that one reviewer described it as a “must-do” experience—an authentic, laid-back way to connect with the region’s viticulture.

Pack a Picnic and Relax

What’s the point of exploring if you can’t stop and enjoy it? The included basket or frame bag makes it easy to bring along snacks or a picnic lunch. Many travelers find that finding a quiet spot in a park or by the waterfront makes their day even more memorable. You can sit back, admire the views, and reflect on how effortlessly the e-bike made the whole exploration feel.

The Experience and the Guides

While this is a self-guided tour, the local recommendations and support provided beforehand make a big difference. Travelers note that Rich and the staff are friendly, helpful, and eager to share tips on the best routes and local sights. The reviews emphasize the importance of good communication, which adds confidence when venturing out alone.

Price and Value

At $81.62 per person for a roughly six-hour rental, the value proposition is compelling. You get access to high-quality e-bikes, personalized support, and the freedom to explore at your own speed. Compared to guided tours, this approach allows you to spend money on experiences rather than just transportation, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious travelers who want authentic, relaxed exploration.
