How long does an e-bike battery last on these tours? The modern e-bikes used by Golden Cycling Tours have a range of 60 to 100 kilometers on a single charge, depending on the level of pedal assist used and the steepness of the terrain. The support team ensures batteries are fully charged overnight.
Are e-bikes difficult to ride? Not at all. If you can ride a standard bicycle, you can ride an electric bike. The pedal-assist system engages smoothly as soon as you start pedaling, and you can adjust the assistance level easily from a handlebar-mounted screen.
What happens if it rains during the tour? Vietnam’s tropical weather can be unpredictable. Tours run rain or shine.
