Rent a city bike or e-bike in Ottawa and explore safe paths, rivers, attractions, neighborhoods, and Gatineau at your own pace.
“A rejuvenating experience: six hours immersed in nature, with climbs, descents, and relaxing views. Good organization and a fair price for the duration and quality of the service offered. A big thank you to the very kind and helpful Maria and Sam.”
Cycle Kelowna’s wine country by e-bike, taste at three wineries, enjoy farm-to-table lunch, and carry bottles in panniers.
“It was a great experience touring Kelowna vineyards in an e-bike. The route was very easy to follow from the phone GPS app, the owner and the wife were amazing explaining us how to use the e-bikes and setting up the app in our phones. They also were very nice by waiting for us as we finished a bit late. The selection of the vineyards was really good, the e-bikes are in very good shape (almost new) and the self guided app gave us freedom to stay longer in a location or leave earlier.”

“We had an awesome time using AudioMe Tours for our bike ride around Stanley Park! The GPS-triggered commentary worked flawlessly, starting at just the right moments as we rode through different areas of the park. The narration was engaging and full of interesting history, stories, and fun facts about the landmarks and wildlife. One of the best parts was that the tour was available in multiple languages. We had both English and Spanish speakers in our group, and it was great that everyone could enjoy the experience in their preferred language. Overall, it was a super smooth and well-designed experience—highly recommend for anyone wanting a flexible and informative way to…”
