About Let It Ride Electric Bikes
Let It Ride Electric Bikes is Bend's original e-bike tour and rental company, operating from their shop on NW Minnesota Avenue in the heart of the Old Mill District. Founded with the belief that electric-assist bikes open up Bend's stunning trail and path network to a much wider range of visitors — including those who might not consider themselves "cyclists" — the company has grown into one of Central Oregon's most popular outdoor activity providers, with consistently high ratings on TripAdvisor and Google.
Their fleet of Pedego electric bikes includes cruiser-style models for the paved Deschutes River Trail and bike paths, as well as more rugged options for gravel and packed-dirt trails. Guided tours are the signature offering, with routes that wind along the Deschutes River, through Drake Park, past the Old Mill, and out to Tumalo Falls and the high desert overlooks. The guides provide historical context, point out local wildlife, and ensure everyone in the group stays comfortable regardless of fitness level. For those who prefer a self-guided experience, the shop offers half-day and full-day e-bike rentals with suggested route maps.
What sets Let It Ride apart is the accessibility factor. E-bikes flatten Bend's rolling terrain, making a 20-mile tour feel effortless even for guests who haven't been on a bike in years. Families with mixed fitness levels, older travellers, and anyone who wants to cover more ground with less effort find the e-bike format liberating. The NW Minnesota Avenue location is central to Bend's trail network, so guests can roll directly from the shop onto the path system without needing to drive anywhere. For a low-barrier, high-reward way to explore Bend on two wheels, Let It Ride is the clear choice.
