About this tour
Glide through Paris as the city shifts from daylight to evening glow on a guided electric bike tour lasting roughly two hours. XLTour e-bikes do the heavy lifting—reaching 25km/h with virtually no effort—while you navigate mostly dedicated cycle paths and pavements. After a quick briefing and practice run, you'll cover ground comfortably without wrestling with traffic or petrol fumes. The bikes themselves are robust, manageable for first-timers, and stable enough for families with children in tow.

- Watch Paris transform as streetlights flicker on during twilight
- Mostly bike lanes and pavements—no dodging cars
- Guided tour includes photography opportunities
- Suitable for teenagers and families with young kids

- Five-minute training covers all you need
What to expect
You'll arrive to a quick safety briefing and test ride (usually under five minutes) to get the feel of the e-bike's throttle and brakes. Once confident, you'll roll out with your guide along established cycle routes, taking in landmarks as the sun dips lower. The bikes' wide tyres and disc brakes handle Paris streets smoothly, and the motorised assist means hills and headwinds barely register. You'll move at a social pace, stopping for photos and your guide's commentary. It's relaxed rather than strenuous—even if you've never ridden an e-bike, the learning curve is gentle.
