The bike’s rugged tires navigate with ease over various trails, providing unparalleled stability and traction, allowing for a seamless communion with nature.

Vermilion Lakes, sparkling and vibrant, unfold on one side, while the majestic backdrop of Mount Rundle captures your gaze on the other.

The route, though largely level, has gentle undulations that become a joy to navigate with the e-bike’s added boost.

Wildlife sightings are not uncommon, as the tranquility of the lakes often attracts Banff’s diverse fauna.

  • Spray River Trail Loop - Riding the Spray River Trail Loop on an electric fat bike offers a transformative journey through Banff National Park’s backcountry.

The wide tires of your e-fat bike not only handle the varied terrain with finesse but also make the undulating landscape an exhilarating challenge, with electric power turning uphill rides into an invigorating experience.

As you navigate this captivating trail, you’ll pass through secluded areas frequented by wildlife, allowing for potential breathtaking encounters with Banff’s natural inhabitants.

Midway, there’s a locals’ secret spot, perfect for a pause, and its here you’ll be treated to a lesser-seen, stunning viewpoint of the iconic Banff Springs Hotel.

  • Fairmont Banff Springs - Riding past the famous Banff Springs Hotel on an e-fat biking tour in summer is a moment steeped in grandeur and timeless beauty.

As you power along on your electric fat bike, the imposing silhouette of the Banff Springs Hotel emerges, resembling a fairytale castle nestled amidst the lush green pines.

This historic structure, known as the “Castle in the Rockies,” stands in striking contrast to the vibrant summer surroundings, its stonework facades and Gothic architecture evoking stories of a bygone era.

  • Bow Falls - Making a stop at Bow Falls during your e-fat biking tour in summer is like pausing at the heart of Banff’s vibrant majesty.

As you approach the viewpoint, the ambient sounds of your journey give way to the thunderous roar of the falls. In the summer’s warmth, Bow Falls asserts its power, cascading over rock ledges, creating a dynamic display of rushing water and spray.

The spectacle is framed by lush green trees and backed by the monolithic presence of the surrounding mountains.

Dismounting your e-fat bike, you’re drawn to the edge, captivated by the sheer force of nature, with mist from the falls cooling the air and lending a refreshing shimmer to the scene.

This stop isn’t just a break in your journey; it’s a moment of awe and reflection, a testament to nature’s unyielding beauty amidst the vibrancy of summer.

Fun electric bike tour great guide - Simon was a nice guy and a pleasure to interact with as the tour guide. He was very accommodating and flexible about tour paths and spots. A really nice ride. What makes this ride different: 2 hrs of riding. Going on trails versus typical Banff tours that don’t. It’s not just about what you see but also about enjoying ebiking. Most of the ride was easy. A couple of small bits required some pedaling. A very enjoyable experience overall with great views along the way.

Awesome fun, highly recommend!! - We really enjoyed the electric bikes, and our guide Michael was very knowledgeable! He shared detailed info on the formation of the mountains, with his own photos! He also had leaflets with the flora and fauna of the park, made us hot chocolate, and gave us a variety of recommendations for what to check out with our limited time in the area. We saw so much wildlife, big and small. Great tour!!
