Exploring Humboldt on Electric Bikes: The Practical Details
When you first arrive at your designated delivery point in Eureka, Arcata, or McKinleyville, you’ll be greeted with a fully charged Rad Power e-bike, helmet, and lock. The process couldn’t be simpler: you’ll be shown how to operate the bike, and then you’re ready to start your adventure. Whether you’re venturing into the towering Redwoods, coasting along scenic beaches, or exploring local trails, these bikes handle everything with ease.
The performance of these e-bikes is quite impressive—they can reach speeds of up to 20 mph, which means hills and long distances are far less daunting. With up to 30 miles of range on trails and 7-8 miles on sandy beaches, you’ll have plenty of range to explore at your own pace. Most riders find that the electric assist makes a big difference, especially when tackling steep inclines or longer routes.
One standout feature is the versatility of the bikes. You can follow paved paths, gravel trails, or sandy beaches—whatever suits your mood or the day’s weather. For instance, one rider appreciated that the bikes work well on both forest trails and sandy shores, making the experience flexible and rich.
The local delivery service is a real time-saver. Instead of renting and then figuring out how to get the bikes to your accommodation, Wildtrail Tours brings them directly to your door. This service covers Eureka, Arcata, and McKinleyville, with options to extend beyond for an additional fee. For those planning to spend a full day, this flexibility allows for a relaxed start and end to your ride.

The full gear included—helmets and locks—ensure safety and peace of mind. The fully charged bikes from Rad Power are designed to be low-maintenance, but it’s worth noting that you’ll want to keep track of your remaining range if you’re planning longer routes.
Many travelers have noted how easy and enjoyable the experience is, regardless of cycling skill level. The electric assist means even those less confident on bikes can enjoy the ride without worrying about exhaustion.

Whether you’re climbing gentle inclines or coasting down hills, the power assist gives you a boost without feeling like you’re cheating. As one reviewer put it, “The bikes made it so easy to cover more ground than I thought possible. Hills weren’t an issue at all.”
Exploring Redwood forests feels especially magical from the saddle of an e-bike. The quiet whir of the motor blends with the sounds of nature, adding a modern twist to a classic outdoor experience. If beaches are your thing, riding along the sandy stretches becomes much more enjoyable with the bikes’ ability to handle loose sand—most riders report riding comfortably for 7-8 miles on the beach.
Many appreciated the flexibility to stop and explore at their own pace. Whether that’s taking a photo under the canopy of redwoods, enjoying a picnic by the coast, or simply soaking in the scenery, the bikes encourage a more relaxed, personalized adventure.
