We’re excited to share that Yosemite E-Biking was featured in an Outside Magazine story about the best places to travel this fall! As one of the premier eco-friendly adventure companies in Mariposa, we’re honored to be recognized for our unique e-bike tours and how they allow adventurers to experience the beauty of the Sierra Foothills just outside Yosemite National Park.


Outside writes: "Pro Tip: Foresta Road, which leads into Yosemite from the west, is the favorite e-bike ride of Chris Van Leuven, founder of Yosemite E-Biking. “It’s also amazing hiking for families who want to see Foresta Falls and dip into swimming holes,” he says."


Here’s why fall is the perfect time to book your e-bike tour and why Yosemite E-Biking is your go-to choice for adventure this season.

1. Cooler Temperatures Make Riding Ideal

When autumn is in full swing, cool, comfortable temperatures are perfect for exploring Yosemite’s stunning surroundings. Gone are the sweltering summer days—now you can enjoy the crisp air as you pedal along scenic backroads, surrounded by fall colors and sweeping views of the Sierra Foothills. With temperatures in the 60s to low 80s during the day, fall provides the perfect conditions for outdoor adventures.


2. New Tour Stops at a Clydesdale and Mini Donkey Farm

We’ve recently added a fun, family-friendly stop to our tours! As part of your Yosemite E-Biking experience, you’ll have the opportunity to visit a Clydesdale and mini donkey farm. Get up close with these gentle giants and their adorable miniature companions, and enjoy feeding them carrots while learning more about the local community. This addition is a great way to make your ride even more memorable!

3. Jeff Jenkins of "Never Say Never" Loved His Ride

This season, we had the honor of hosting Jeff Jenkins, host of the popular NatGeo TV show "Never Say Never" and one of Travel + Leisure’s 50 Notable People in Travel. Jeff joined us for an e-bike tour, and his excitement about exploring the backroads of Mariposa was contagious. He had an amazing time, enjoying the scenic routes and experiencing firsthand how e-bikes make adventure accessible to all.

We love hearing from our happy riders, and one recent testimonial from Kathy sums up why so many people choose Yosemite E-Biking as the highlight of their Sierra foothills experience:


"The highlight of our trip! Our e-bike tour with Chris was the absolute highlight of our Yosemite [area] adventure. The ride was fun, the views were breathtaking, and Chris's knowledge of the area made it even more special. We couldn't have asked for a better adventure."
