The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during the ride
Even with moderate exertion at altitude, bring a water bottle or rely on provided bottled water; drink early and often.
Use the skills tutorial
Pay attention to the short e-bike orientation—knowing how to modulate assist and brake boosts confidence on mixed surfaces.
Wear sun protection
High-elevation sun can be intense; apply sunscreen and wear sunglasses and a hat under your helmet.
Ride for group pace
Guides set a pace that suits the whole group—stay within it to conserve battery and maintain spacing on shared trails.
