Crossing the entire length of Vietnam is a journey that changes a traveler forever. Spanning nearly 2,000 kilometers from the tropical, high-energy metropolis of the South to the thousand-year-old cultural heart of the North, the Saigon to Hanoi long-distance e-bike tour is the ultimate bucket-list adventure for 2026-2027. In the past, this was a grueling expedition reserved only for elite cyclists. Today, the revolution of electric mountain bikes has transformed this cross-country odyssey into an accessible, luxury experience. With pedal-assist technology, you can conquer legendary mountain passes and long coastal stretches while remaining fully present in the beauty of the "S-shaped land."
At Golden Cycling Tours, we have mastered the art of the trans-national expedition. Our Vietnam e-bikes tours are designed for those who want to see the "real" Vietnam without the physical barrier of traditional long-distance cycling.
Traveling from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) to Hanoi offers a unique psychological and physical progression. You begin in the flatter, warmer regions of the Mekong Delta and the coastal plains, allowing your body to acclimate to the rhythm of the road. As you move northward, the terrain builds in drama, reaching its crescendo in the awe-inspiring karst mountains of the Northern frontier.
By joining our Vietnam luxury bike tours, you ensure that this massive distance is supported by world-class infrastructure. We provide high-performance e-bikes, a dedicated luggage van, professional mechanics, and boutique accommodations that provide a sanctuary of luxury after each stage.
The adventure begins in the bustling heart of the South. Our Ho Chi Minh bike tours serve as the perfect orientation, navigating through hidden alleys and colonial landmarks before heading toward the turquoise waters of the East Sea.
As we head North, the road hugs the coastline. Nha Trang bike tours offer some of the most scenic ocean-front riding in Southeast Asia. With the assistance of your e-bike's motor, you can maintain a steady pace against the ocean breeze, gliding past white-sand bays and traditional fishing fleets with effortless ease.
Continuing our Cycling Central Vietnam segment, we reach the UNESCO-listed town of Hoi An. Hoi An bike tours explore the rural outskirts where life remains slow and traditional. From here, we tackle the legendary Hai Van Pass. On a Saigon to Hanoi long-distance e-bike tour, the 10km climb to the "Sea Cloud Pass" is a thrilling vantage point rather than a struggle, leading us into our Hue bike tours.
Leaving the coast, the expedition turns inland to follow the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail cycling tours. This is the historical and geographical spine of any Cycling South to North Vietnam journey.
The trail offers quiet, well-paved roads that cut through primary jungles and limestone mountains. It is a path of profound beauty and silence. Here, the e-bike allows you to cover significant daily distances through the wilderness while remaining fully connected to the natural surroundings.
As you draw closer to the capital, the landscapes reach their peak of grandeur. This region defines the soul of Cycling Northern Vietnam.
Before the final push, we immerse ourselves in the lush nature reserves of the North. Pu Luong bike tours take you through world-class terraced rice fields, while Mai Chau bike tours provide a window into the peaceful life of the White Thai ethnic group.
For those who wish to complete their journey at the very edge of the map, our Ha Giang bike tours navigate the Dong Van Karst Plateau. This is the most dramatic mountain landscape in Southeast Asia. Conquering these high passes on an e-bike is a transcendent experience that most travelers never get to witness.
The journey concludes as we cycle into the heart of Hanoi, the thousand-year-old capital. From the vibrant Old Quarter to the refined French Quarter, you will have completed a journey of 2,000 kilometers. Whether you followed this path or our Cycling North to South Vietnam option, the sense of accomplishment is life-changing.
