Rent a Fat Tire Electric Bike to navigate Scottsdale efficiently. These bikes are street-legal and do not require pedaling, allowing access to areas beyond the reach of cars. Travel through downtown Scottsdale using designated paths and bike lanes. Visit the Scottsdale Greenbelt, a network of parks, lakes, and paths with crossings separate from traffic. Stop by Historic Old Town Scottsdale to see its art galleries, museums, shops, and dining options. Ride through the Arts District to observe its public artworks and galleries, or head to the Scottsdale Waterfront District for access to restaurants and shopping. Utilize bike-friendly roads and routes connecting various recreational areas for a versatile travel experience.

Ride through Scottsdale on an e-bike to see the sights around McCormick Ranch and nearby areas. Follow a guide as you travel past mountain surroundings, neighborhood streets, canals, and landscaped gardens. Along the route, notice unique plants from the Sonoran Desert and perhaps spot local wildlife. The guided tour includes narration and guidance provided through a earpiece system.

Take a guided e-bike ride through Paradise Valley and Scottsdale. Travel along streets, canals, and trails, and stop to hike Cholla Trail at Camelback Mountain.

Look for local desert flora and fauna, including highlights such as cacti, coyotes, and birds.

Start your day by riding an electric bike with guided instruction through designated routes leading to Echo Canyon trailhead on Camelback Mountain. Park the e-bikes securely while beginning the hike to the initial waypoint labeled marker #9, where the trail provides sights of the surrounding desert landscape. Return to the e-bikes and follow paths such as the Greenbelt bike path that link the Arizona canal and Paradise Valley.
