Why You Need E-Bikes for Cycling Tours in Tokyo

Have you ever dreamed of exploring Tokyo at your own pace, feeling the breeze as you effortlessly cruise through its streets?

With e-bikes, you can perfectly experience both traditional and modern Japan. Whether you’re an avid cyclist or a couch potato, e-bike tours let you zip past ancient temples, explore backstreets, and enjoy panoramic city views—all with ease.

But why do you really need e-bikes for Tokyo tours? Let’s dive into four key reasons.

For groups

Forget about fitness levels. E-bikes make it possible for friends, family, or couples of different fitness levels to enjoy the same tour without feeling left behind or held back. For example, you cycle regularly, but your partner doesn’t, or vice versa. Everyone can pedal comfortably at their own speed. This makes the tour fun and inclusive for all—no one has to miss out!

Anyone is welcomed.

Explore more, worry less

Explore more

With e-bikes, you can explore more of Tokyo without getting exhausted. Unlike traditional standard bikes, which can be tiring and limit your range, e-bikes allow you to cover more ground and see more sights. You can easily go to popular attractions like Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo Tower, Imperial Palace, Senso-ji Temple, and Tokyo Skytree, all while enjoying the freedom and flexibility of a bike tour.

Worry less

Worried about fitness? Don’t be. E-bikes will assist you a lot, so your concern means nothing. In fact, most of the tourists who have a bike tour in Tokyo are casual riders. E-bikes make it easy to concentrate on sightseeing.

This review highlights just how much e-bikes enhance Tokyo sightseeing.

Kazuma is very knowledgeable and speaks English well, which was a huge plus since we don’t speak any Japanese. Had great suggestions for local businesses as well. Took us to great spots for pictures and great views of the city that weren’t crowded. Also, the bikes are very nice. We went the whole 3 hours and never felt tired even when the terrain was hilly.

Conquer Tokyo’s hills with ease

Going up the hill easily is one of the most obvious benefits of e-bikes. Tokyo has many hilly areas, especially in Shibuya and Roppongi, which can make cycling challenging. Some of the most challenging hills include:

  • Dougenzaka
  • Miyamasuzaka
  • Sakura-zaka
  • Imoarai-zaka
  • Torii-zaka
  • Keyakizaka
  • Nadarezaka
  • and many more!

However, with e-bikes, you can effortlessly conquer even the steepest slopes. As one guest put it:

A very different way to see Tokyo, be a local and ride across the city. We went off the beaten tourist route and experienced the real Tokyo. Very easy to get around and exercise while you do it. The bikes are extremely easy to use and being battery powered made light work of any hills. Kazuma was a knowledgeable and friendly local guide who welcomed us to his city and could not do enough for us. Highly recommend Kazuma and the tour to anyone visiting Tokyo. Would have given more stars but cannot do more than 5.

Explore more in less time

With e-bikes, you can explore more of Tokyo in less time.

E-bike tours are designed to help you maximize your visit by covering more ground at a faster pace. Unlike traditional cycling tours, which can be tiring and time-consuming, e-bikes allow you to effortlessly navigate the city’s bustling streets and even reach its more hidden corners without getting worn out.

Plus, there’s no need to take detours to avoid steep hills, so you can visit more sights and attractions in a shorter period. With limited time in Tokyo, why waste your precious hours stuck in traffic or tiring yourself out? E-bikes help you see more in less time.

As one of our recent guests shared:

Kazuma was the best guide! We were only in Tokyo for two days so this was the perfect way to see a lot and we learned so much! Kazuma was very accommodating and knowledgeable and we were off of busy streets for most of the tour which was nice. Highly recommend it!
