About Downhill/e-bike Cycling

Experience the ultimate freedom of exploring Bali’s dramatic highlands without the exhausting physical strain on our Downhill/e-bike Cycling tour. This innovatively designed biking excursion takes full advantage of the island’s mountain geography and modern electric-assist technology. Your day begins with an air-conditioned drive up to the high volcanic rim of Mount Batur in Kintamani. After enjoying a spectacular breakfast looking out over a massive volcanic lake and smoking craters, you will mount a premium electric bicycle or a high-clearance mountain bike for a long, effortless cruise that winds almost entirely downhill through changing climate zones toward Ubud.

The true magic of using a premium e-bike lies in its intelligent power-on-demand pedal assistance. Whenever the trail presents a minor hill or a gentle incline, the silent electric motor engages smoothly, allowing you to breeze up slopes without breaking a sweat or falling behind the group. This opens up the tour to riders of all ages and fitness backgrounds who want to focus on the spectacular views rather than physical exhaustion. As you coast down from the crisp, cool volcanic heights, you will see the landscape shift beautifully from highland pine forests and orange orchards into dense tropical jungles and bright green terraced rice paddies.

Your expert cycling guides lead the caravan down a carefully curated network of quiet rural backroads, keeping you safely away from heavy main-road traffic. The route features fascinating cultural stops, including visits to multi-generational woodcarving workshops, ancient village temples, and organic spice plantations where you can taste freshly brewed Balinese coffee. Because the journey is primarily downhill, your legs stay fresh, leaving you with plenty of energy to look around, wave to local children, and take stunning photographs along the path. The long descent wraps up beautifully at a hidden valley oasis, where a rich, multi-course lunch of traditional Balinese delicacies is served.

Do’s and Don’ts

• Do keep a hand lightly ready on your brake levers to control your downhill speed on steeper mountain slopes.
• Do check your e-bike’s battery level indicator and power settings with your guide before setting off down the trail.
• Do ride in a structured, single-file line behind your lead guide to ensure total group safety on rural roads.
• Don’t look away or take your hands off the handlebars to operate your camera or phone while actively riding.
