Descripción general
Looking for a little backcountry adventure with gorgeous views? Take an e-bike ride with us on the Old Coast Road Tour! From panoramic ocean views to the enchanted redwood forest, experience Big Sur on the pioneer’s wagon road.
What once was a road for horses and wagons has evolved into a rough 4x4 dirt road that runs 10 miles through the hills and valleys of northern Big Sur. Much of the ride is through the middle of a 7,100 acre ranch that has been running cattle here since 1834. Depending on the season, there may be cows on the road!
The hills are intense, so be ready to challenge your balance. Our powerful Pedego eBikes smooth out the daunting climbs. But riders over 180 lb should be prepared to pedal when climbing the hills. And be ready for some long descents on loose dirt (or mud in the winter).
Local guides will make the ride come alive with fun info about the flora & fauna that we pass along the way. There's so much fun history that makes Big Sur special!

El Sur Ranch
2 horas
Over half of our ride is bordered on both sides of the Old Coast Road by the massive, 7,100 acre, El Sur Ranch. A working cattle ranch since 1834, this is one of the few original Mexican land grants still intact. Depending on the time of year, there may be cattle from the ranch grazing along side the road. There are always cattle in the pastures along the ocean. One of the most beautiful cattle ranches you'll ever see.

This white marble peak follows us through our ride. A sacred mountain to the Esselen tribes, this mountain provides a stunning focal point throughout our ride.

After our first big hill climb, we descend into the Little Sur River Valley, part of the San Andreas Fault system. The river winds through a beautiful redwood forest. The towering trees, cliffs of ferns, and the sound of the river babbling below make us feel like part of a prehistoric landscape.
