The Experience

Before You Go

Start with a practice loop

Use the first 10–15 minutes to get comfortable with throttle, braking, and assist levels on flat terrain.

Hydrate for altitude

Drink water before you ride and carry a bottle — dehydration can sneak up faster at 7,000 ft.

Choose the right assist level

Begin on low–medium assist and increase if climbs feel heavy; battery lasts longer at moderate settings.

Footwear and posture

Wear closed-toe shoes with grip and keep a relaxed, slightly forward posture on climbs for better control.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Buffalo Park loop for sweeping views of the San Francisco Peaks
  • Lava River Cave overlook areas for quick geology stops

Conservation Note

Ride on designated trails to protect fragile understory; avoid widening trails and pack out all trash to reduce impact.

Flagstaff grew around the railroad and nearby logging; volcanic activity shaped the local landscape and trails.
