Go Beyond the Scenic Drive: Explore the Smokies with Appalachian E-Bikes

If you've ever visited the Smoky Mountains, you know there's nothing quite like their charm—rolling blue ridges, fresh mountain air, and that peaceful small-town energy that Waynesville and Maggie Valley exude. But here at Appalachian E-Bikes, we believe there's a better way to experience this region than from behind a car window.

We offer a new kind of adventure with e-bike rentals in Waynesville and Maggie Valley—an eco-friendly, exciting, and unforgettable way to explore the beauty of Western North Carolina.

Why E-Bikes Are the Best Way to Explore the Smokies

We’re locals, and we know these roads, trails, and secret overlooks like the back of our hand. We've seen how visitors light up when they hop on an electric bike and realize how effortlessly they can climb a mountain road, glide through a valley, or discover a back road café without breaking a sweat.

Whether you're looking for electric bike rentals in Waynesville or planning a day of riding through Maggie Valley, here’s why an e-bike adventure is worth it:

  • No traffic headaches – skip the car, skip the parking

  • Eco-friendly fun – reduce your carbon footprint

  • See more – go farther than a walking tour ever could

  • Fun for everyone – pedal-assist makes riding accessible

Top Things to Do in Waynesville – On Two Wheels

When visitors ask us about the best things to do in Waynesville, our answer always starts with: Ride an e-bike. It’s not just about the destination—it's about the journey, and riding through town or up into the hills gives you a unique, immersive experience that cars just can’t offer.

 1. Ride to Lake Junaluska

A gentle 3.5-mile loop around the serene lake, with scenic rest spots and photo ops galore. Whether it’s a sunrise ride or a mid-day cruise, this is a peaceful, easy way to enjoy your e-bike rental in Waynesville.

2. Coffee, Culture & Mountain Views Tour

Use your e-bike to explore the charm of downtown Waynesville. Start your morning at a local café, visit a few galleries, then head out toward countryside roads with sweeping views. Our staff will gladly map it out for you!

 3. Artisan Trail Adventures

Waynesville and Maggie Valley are full of hidden artist studios, woodworkers, and potters tucked away on country roads. Hop on one of our e-bikes and follow our curated Artisan Trail, combining local culture with scenic riding.

From Our Team: Our Favorite Rides

We asked the Appalachian E-Bikes team to share their personal favorite routes and what makes them special. Here's what they said:

 “Jonathan Creek Serenity Ride” – Recommended by Tyler

“This is a great ride for anyone using our e-bike rental in Maggie Valley. It follows the creek, is super peaceful, and perfect in the late afternoon. Plus, it’s flat, which means it’s great for beginners.”

“Sunset Overlook Trail” – Recommended by Sarah

“For more adventurous riders, we have a route that includes a short climb to a secret overlook above Waynesville. With an electric assist, the hills are no problem—and the view? Incredible.”
