Vietnam is a country that demands to be seen at the speed of a bicycle. Stretching over 1,600 kilometers from the cool, colonial elegance of the north to the tropical, pulsing energy of the south, the journey between the two great cities is the definitive Southeast Asian adventure. For the 2026-2027 season, a Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City e-bike tour has emerged as the most sophisticated way to cross the "S-shaped land." By combining the physical engagement of cycling with the effortless power of electric assistance, travelers can now conquer epic mountain passes and long coastal stretches with a smile on their faces.
At Golden Cycling Tours, we believe that the journey is just as important as the destination. Our Vietnam e-bikes tours are meticulously curated to ensure that you experience the very best of Vietnam’s scenery, history, and cuisine, all while supported by a world-class logistical team.
The traditional route from Hanoi to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) is a journey of increasing warmth and changing light. You begin in the misty, cultural heart of the nation, where the coffee is strong and the history is ancient. As you pedal south, the landscapes open up into coastal vistas and tropical plains.
By booking our Vietnam luxury bike tours, you are opting for an experience that prioritizes your comfort. We provide the latest mid-drive e-bikes, a dedicated support van for all your luggage, and stays in boutique hotels and authentic eco-lodges that allow you to recover in luxury every evening.
The expedition starts in Hanoi, but the true cycling begins as we head into the mountains. This is the hallmark of Cycling Northern Vietnam.
Leaving the city behind, we enter the peaceful realms of the White Thai people. Our Mai Chau bike tours offer rhythmic riding through stilt-house villages. From there, we climb into the stunning nature reserves of the north. Pu Luong bike tours feature rides through some of the world's most beautiful terraced rice fields. The e-bike's motor makes the steep valley climbs feel like a gentle breeze.
For those who want the most dramatic start possible, our Ha Giang bike tours explore the Dong Van Karst Plateau. This is the "Roof of Vietnam," and the power of an electric mountain bike is a game-changer when navigating the legendary Ma Pi Leng Pass.
As the tour moves south, we leave the main highways to follow the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail cycling tours. This inland route is the backbone of our Cycling North to South Vietnam expeditions.
Riding the trail is a journey through history and primary jungle. The roads are quiet, the asphalt is smooth, and the scenery—characterized by limestone massifs and deep green forests—is utterly profound. This segment offers a peaceful solitude that is hard to find anywhere else in Asia.
Reaching the midpoint of the country, Cycling Central Vietnam offers a perfect blend of beach relaxation and imperial history.
In Hue, our Hue bike tours take you through the Citadel and along the Perfume River. Leaving Hue, we face the Hai Van Pass. On a Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City e-bike tour, the 500-meter vertical climb is a moment of pure joy, offering panoramic views of Lang Co Bay and Da Nang without the traditional struggle of a heavy bike.
After descending the pass, we spend time in the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An. Hoi An bike tours allow you to explore the local artisan life. Moving further south, the road hugs the coast. Nha Trang bike tours offer spectacular ocean-front cycling where the blue of the East Sea meets the lush green mountains.
As the terrain flattens out, the air becomes warmer and more tropical. The final leg of the Cycling South to North Vietnam (or in this case, North to South) journey brings us to the southern economic powerhouse.
The culmination of your journey is the arrival in the city formerly known as Saigon. Our Ho Chi Minh bike tours are the perfect way to finish, navigating through the vibrant districts and visiting historical landmarks like the Reunification Palace. After 2,000 kilometers, the sense of accomplishment as you reach the southern capital is unparalleled.

Q: Do I need to be an athlete to cycle from Hanoi to Saigon? A: No. The beauty of the e-bike is that it levels the playing field. If you can ride a bike for a few hours, the motor will handle the heavy lifting on the hills and against the wind.
