Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age for the e-bike tour? I'm thinking of gifting this to my teenage son.

A: Great question! The minimum age for riders is actually 14, but anyone under 18 will need a parent or guardian to sign a waiver. Just make sure he's comfortable riding a bike, as the tour is meant for those who can navigate confidently on their own.

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather's bad? I'm worried about that since I want this to be a perfect gift.

A: Yes! If the weather doesn’t cooperate, you can definitely reschedule. They’ll reach out to you beforehand if it looks like rain or other bad conditions, and you can move your tour to another day that works for you.

Q: What should I wear for the e-bike tour? I want to be comfortable but stylish.

A: You’ll want to wear comfortable, breathable clothing since you’ll be riding for a few hours. I recommend wearing sneakers or closed-toe shoes, and maybe bringing a light jacket just in case it gets breezy near the beach. Sunglasses and sunscreen are a good idea too!

Anyone else done the Wilmington River to Sea E-Bike Tour?

I just finished the 5-hour e-bike tour from Wilmington to Wrightsville Beach, and it was AMAZING! The ride was so smooth, and the e-bikes made it super easy to cover ground without getting too tired. Stopping at the Trailborn Surf and Sound hotel was a nice touch. We grabbed lunch there and just chilled on the beach. Highly recommend this for anyone who loves the outdoors! Just be prepared to navigate on your own since it’s not for beginners.
