Taos E-Bike Tour
Experience Every Side of Taos by E-Bike
With our pedal-assist doing the climbing, Taos slows to a pace made for your senses, the sounds, the smells, the play of light on adobe.
Tour overview
With our pedal-assist doing the climbing, Taos slows to a pace made for your senses, the sounds, the smells, the play of light on adobe. Over seventeen miles of backroads and historic streets, the art, history, and living traditions come into focus, and adventure and amazement wait at every turn.
Over roughly seventeen miles of backroads and historic streets, a small-group e-bike carries you from one Taos landmark to the next, the pedal-assist making quick work of the 7,000-foot altitude and keeping your attention on the wonder of Taos, not the effort of getting there.
It begins at the Mabel Dodge Luhan House, home to the infamous salons where she drew artists, aristocrats, and activists from around the globe into deep conversation. From there you roll to the Fechin House, which the Russian artist Nicolai Fechin carved and built by hand, every beam and doorway a work of art. Next comes the Spanish Colonial Hacienda de los Martinez, a fortress of a frontier great house, with an acequia running nearby, close enough to see and hear.
Then San Francisco de Asís, built from mud, straw, and adobe by the hands of the community and one of the most photographed and painted churches in the world, before the quiet backroads of Talpa carry you onward. The ride ends the way it should, with a scoop from the Taos Cow, iconic local ice cream churned from the best New Mexican ingredients and flavors.

Itinerary
Taos by E-Bike
A small-group e-bike ride that peels back Taos layer by layer, its art, its history, and the feel of actually living here, at a pace slow enough to take it all in. Pedal-assist erases the 7,000-foot altitude as you roll from Mabel Dodge Luhan's legendary salon to the Fechin House, the Spanish Colonial Hacienda de los Martinez, the adobe walls of San Francisco de Asís, and the quiet backroads of Talpa, passing the historic acequias close enough to feel the cool ditch air. It all ends with a scoop from the Taos Cow.

Guest reviews
Had a great time biking all around Taos, New Mexico on some really fast and fun E-Bikes! What a great tour with our guide Diego! He was fantastic! Great historical context about Taos and the route we took to each historical site we visited was well planned. I enjoyed the ride and learned a thing or two along the way. Ends at Taos Cow Angladas for a tasty treat at the end! Very fun! Highly recommend!
This E Bike tour is very organized to share the history of Taos and information about well known artists who lived here in the past and present, museums and church locations. Along the bike route were lovely long bike routes on the outskirts of Taos to see the beauty of the foothills of the mountains. This bike tour is very leisurely as the E Bike technology allows you to decide how much leg effort you want to put forth. Our guide Katrina was excellent with safety awareness and tour guide through the many small stops. This E Bike tour is perfect for a couple, four friends or a larger family as they have 6 bikes overall. It starts and ends within the Taos downtown Plaza which gives you a location to continue your
Michelle did a great job taking us thru the back roads of Taos. We were able to see parts of Taos that we would never have gotten to. The bikes were easy and fun to ride. Highly recommend!
The trip was delightful, and even though we live in Taos, we stopped at places we didn’t know about, and Kailee knew things we didn’t know about the places and their history. Kailee went at our pace, and was very personable and enthusiastic. It was our first experience on e-bikes, and it was a good one! We’re going to recommend Heritage Inspiration tours to visiting friends and family members, but it’s also a great way to enjoy one’s hometown!
What a way to see Taos!!! Stephanie our Tour Guide was a wealth of information. The 17 miles around Taos hits some incredible places with beautiful architecture, rich history, and endless photo ops. The bike ride was really enjoyable, my first E-Bike experience was top notch. Thanks Heritage Inspirations!
It was so much fun, not too tiring. As a local, I got to see many new sites that I had never seen before! Recommend for tourists and locals alike :)
