Local Guided Electric Bike Tour from Solana Beach to Encinitas
Overview
This tour will take guests through 4 unique communities in North San Diego County; Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff By-The-Sea, and Encinitas. This tour is unique because we will be able to cover nearly 15 miles in 2.5 hours on capable and easy-to-use electric bike. All of our bikes have different levels of pedal assist, as well as different options for using a throttle.
We have bikes suitable for riders 5'0" and taller, but we also have options for children! We have two (2) Rad Power Radwagon cargo bikes which have seats for up to two children. Additionally, we have child seats for children up to 45 pounds that can be installed on our electric bikes.
Our tour guides have extensive knowledge of the North County area about local cuisine, beer and wine options, artisans, art galleries, local surf spots, and so much more. If you have something that you are dying to see, do, or learn about in the area, please ask us!
Please note that much of the riding will be on street or in bike lanes

What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Self Realization Fellowship Hermitage & Meditation Gardens, 215 W K St, Encinitas, CA 92024-5040
We will stop at the beautiful and historical meditation gardens founded in 1938 but Paramahansa Yogananda. We will be able to walk through the gardens if desired!
Edit; due to the Covid-19 pandemic we are unable to go into the gardens but will resume our walks through the gardens as soon as possible. In the meantime we will stop at the border of this property to enjoy the stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Del Mar Race Track, just west of I-5 at the Via de la Valle exit, Del Mar, CA
The Del Mar Racetrack has been the central hub of Del Mar since it's inception by Bing Crosby in 1936. The fairgrounds have hosted the Del Mar Fair (aka San Diego County Fair), thoroughbred horse races, and for two years during WWII the Del Mar Racetrack was closed to use the space to construct parts for B-17 Bombers.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: VG Donut & Bakery, 106 Aberdeen Dr, Cardiff, CA 92007, USA
VG Donuts is an iconic donut shop/bakery that has been owned and operated by the same family since 1969 (three generations!). We can stop in and grab a fresh donut if desired. Also nearby are the classic Pipes Cafe, as well as Besta-Wan Pizza (Encinitas' oldest still existing restaurant!)
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, 2710 Manchester Ave, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Encinitas, CA 92007-2204
This lagoon is one of San Diego’s largest wetland at 979-acres. This ecological reserve is primarily a shallow-water estuary, formed where the Escondido and La Orilla Creeks meet the Pacific Ocean. I love showing guests this portion of the tour at the lowest or highest tides, as they can come back 6 hours later to see how different the reserve looks with the tidal differences.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: Fletcher Cove Park, 111 S Sierra Ave Seaside Market, not Cliffside market, Solana Beach, CA 92075-1810
Fletcher Cover Park is a local's secret for basketball, beach access, and a playground for kids. There is also a lifeguard station here and a ramp for easy access to the water. Public restrooms and showers here make this a perfect spot for a family beach day. Around Christmas time they also put up a beautiful Christmas Tree with ornaments for everyone to see and enjoy.
Duration: 5 minutes
Pass By: Moonlight State Beach, Encinitas, CA 92024
Moonlight State Beach is a huge attraction for families. With firepits, volleyball courts, plenty of sand, and a concession stand for snacks, there is something for EVERYONE. We will take you right past it so you know where to go cool off after the tour with a dip in the ocean.
Stop At: Encinitas Boathouses, 726-32 3rd St, Encinitas, CA 92024, USA
The Encinitas Boat Houses are an iconic funky spot in Encinitas. These Boat Houses have never felt the salt of the sea, but you would never guess when looking at them! Constructed from an old bathhouse and hotel, these homes are rented out for a premium. While we cannot enter the houses currently, there are talks of turning them into a museum/historical landmark open for tours in the future.

Our first Electric Bike experience was AMAZING. My daughter and I were hesitant at first, but with simple instructions from the operator, we were ready to go. It's just like riding a regular bike, but easier! Our tour guide, Elias, was fun and knowledgeable about the coastal towns from Solana Beach to Encinitas. We had plenty of time to enjoy a snack in Encinitas before heading back. The bikes were clean and had baskets to hold our stuff. It was a good choice to be on a tour with a guide for our first time, but it was so easy, will definitely venture out on our own next time. This is a super fun family activity, but would also recommend it for couples and friends.726darcyp

Justin was nice and knowledgeable about the different areas. The ebikes were fun (a first time for us, but easy to pick up and 13 yr old did fine).

Our welcoming host and guide on this e-bike tour Elias was fantastic from start to finish! It was our very first e-bike experience and it couldn’t have been better. We felt very safe on the route - led by Elias with great attention and care. He loves his neighborhoods and speaks about them with knowledge and passion. After more than two hours tour we felt like we know many beautiful places! Elias is also very good at explaining the operation of the bike, which was especially important to us. The bikes are in excellent condition and are extremely comfortable and easy to operate. Great that they have convenient saddle bags for our scarfs and extra jackets. And Elias supplies bottles of water that came very handy on the route. Hands down it was our best experience during our visit to Encinitas! We will be back and we will e-bike again. We wholeheartedly recommend this amazing E-bike tour to everyone who comes to the Encinitas area.
