Best E-bike Cycling Tour In Taipei - Includes Local Food & Drinks

I booked this tour with Tommy as being on a bike is a great way to see things. So being on an e-bike is even better !! There was 3 of us led by Tommy for the trip which was a nice number. WE saw a lot of varied things, tried a selection of food, Tommy gave suggestions for things when asked and he is a really good and clear guide. We didn't feel rushed at all and the whole thing was nice and laid back. I have already given Tommy's details to some friends who are coming here in the new year and I cant recommend this trip enough.

Book this tour your first day. One of the best tours we’ve ever done. Tommy was excellent and the bikes were top-notch

This tour with Tommy exceeded our expectations, and was a wonderful way to start our vacay in Taipei. What could be better than getting out into nature, getting some great physical/mental exercise, and eating along the way? We tried a typical Taiwanese breakfast with the most delicious pork bao, and several local dishes for lunch at a restaurant located in a food market. Tommy's wealth of knowledge about the history of his city/country, his enthusiasm to share how his bike design and business started, and his warm and friendly demeanor made for a wonderful experience. The sites were all interesting, and many we would have not discovered on our own. Tommy also sent many recommendations for restaurants to try as he is a consummate chef/foodie. I would highly, highly recommend this tour :)

What makes this tour special is the owner and tour guide who designed these fantastic e-bikes that we get to ride around Taipei in while he shows us how amazing this city is. Best kept secret!

An amazing day with our tour guide Tommy. A unique opportunity to see Taipei the way a local would, from a bicycle and the food selections were top notch. A must do.

We have been on similar bike tours on 6 continents and this is by far our favorite. Our guide Tommy was very knowledgeable about Taipei and its history. He also knows the food scene well and is a great photographer (sent the pics afterwards). The e-bikes were amazing and fun to ride. I really loved that Tommy designed and built them. We highly recommend this tour on your first day in Taipei. You will cover a lot of ground and have a great time. Be sure to request Tommy as your guide.

Great way to experience Taipei! You get to cover a good amount of ground through a variety of different areas (quieter side streets, bustling city zones, riverside bike paths, day markets, temples) all while learning about the history of Taiwan and sampling delicious food at family-run shops. Kudos to Tommy for guiding this fun journey through parts of this cool city that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own!

This was a fabulous day. Tommy is a superb guide and a genuine human - you’ll have a great time with him. I learned so much about Taiwan’s complicated history and modern situation. The ride was easy and fun with the perfect amount of riding and breaks and food. I got to see parts of Taiwan my friends who lived here didn’t know about. Truly grateful for Tommy’s expertise and kindness. ♥️

An absolutely amazing cycle tour in Taipei. Our guide, Tommy, had a wealth of knowledge, was very careful and paced the tour to perfection. Would recommend this as a great way to see parts of the city and learn of the history.

Fantastic bike tour in Taipei! I was traveling solo, and the small group was perfect—just me and one other couple. Tommy was an amazing guide: friendly, informative, and full of personality. We saw so many great parts of Taipei, and he made the whole experience fun and memorable. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Tommy!

I love to take bicycle tours of cities as it is my favorite way to get to know a new place. This, by far, is the best I've ever done. The tour bicycles were the best I've ever ridden. And the tour guide, Tommy, was also the best I've ever had

What a great and informative day. Tommy was the best guide. Very patient and careful and full of information. Got to see and learn about aspects of Taipei history I never knew. Great food and coffee on the way.

We booked this tour on our last day in Taipei and I have ZERO REGRETS!!! It was the best activity for us to see Taipei from a different perspective (on a bike) and actually get to talk with locals like Tommy our tour guide, and local businesses. The e-bike was very easy to use, even for my friend who wasn't the most comfortable on a bicycle (she did great and Tommy was very attentive to her needs!). You'll learn about some of Taiwan's culture, history, and FOOD!

Great day seeing the sights. Food experiences authentic and tasty. Tommy was a great host. Very knowledgeable and welcoming. Biking around city was flat.

This was probably the best bike tour we have done (& we have done a lot of city bike tours!) . What made it amazing was our guide and all the food we got to taste as part of the tour plus the bikes were designed by the actual tour guide and were a pleasure to ride. Taipei is a fascinating city and seeing it by bike is a great way to do it!

Great tour and easy to ride ebikes. Tommy the guide made sure all was good before setting off. Great food stops. Very informative tour.

- Top communication before tour as weather could have changed plans. Tommy was caring guide and bought us ponchos when it rained - bikes were really fun and food tips were excellent

I had such a great day exploring Taipei on this tour. Tommy was a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We explored all different sides to the city, including historical and cultural sites, all while tasting amazing food along the way. You’d never find these spots if you tried to figure it out alone. The cycling is easy and beginner friendly. Highly recommend finding an opportunity to join this tour!

It was a blast, we visited so many sites and places in Taipei. Eye opening experience, visiting local markets too was amazing. Amazing tour and guide was fantastic

So much fun! Teenage son and I loved cruising around Taipei with Tommy. Tons of varied stops, fantastic food, real talk about life, politics, and history of Taiwan. The ebikes are sleek and easy, a bit of riding on busy streets but felt ok w helmets. Cannot recommend more highly!

This is a very customized tour by a very knowledgeable local guide. The E-bike was state of the art custom designed and simple to use. The tour passed many of the iconic sites in Taipei but stops were also made at the local markets hidden off the beaten track local restaurants (breakfast and lunch) and historical sites. Tommy, the guide really knows his history of the island and enthusiastically shares his knowledge and experience of living and travelling in Taipei. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone that enjoys a delightful bike ride and insiders look into the depths of Taipei!

Fantastic tour with great bikes. This is a great way to see the city and to sample some local food and coffee. You definitely won’t go hungry. Tommy knowledge, enthusiasm and energy was infectious. He explained the history of Taiwan as we pedalled through some lovely districts of Taiwan. The route was well thought out avoiding the very busy roads. Nothing was too much trouble and we were lucky enough to have a few extra stops. Totally exceeded expectations 10/10. Thanks Tommy.

This easy bike tour was definitely one of the best parts of my Taiwan visit. The description of being great for designer-lovers, foodies, and off-the-beaten-path appreciators was spot-on. I loved seeing everyday life from a local's perspective, going through different neighborhoods, seeing the works of rising artists, learning about architecture and history as it relates to contemporary life, and trying delicious foods. All of the food I tried was worth writing home about: southern style savory pancake, light roast coffee, fresh fruit, noodle soup with chopped century egg. The hilltop view was a perfect rejuvenating spot. Tony is your in-the-know, hip friend showing you around to everything cool that isn't crowded. I'm a casual commuter cyclist, and the Surcle e-bike was a luxurious ride – it proved to be nimble and very easy to ride even through busy, narrow, market streets.

Tommy was a great guide. Stopping at key places and offering valuable information about each point of interest. The food was truly local Taiwanese and tasted great. Recommended for anyone who wants to see the “real” Taipei.

Thank you Tommy for a wonderful day! It was so exciting to see the city this way. The Ebikes were super comfortable and easy to ride and the four of us were well taken care of (there will be busy streets) with several surprises along the way. My teen boys enjoyed the experience of discovering new tastes and sights with Tommy. He will be your good friend by the end of the day and you can tell he truly enjoys every minute of showing us around. I would highly highly recommend !!!

Would have given 6 stars! Tommy was a wonderful guide. Went out of the way to make it a great experience for us. Thank you Tommy!

What a fantastic tour. My wife and I had a wonderful day with Tommy, who is delightful, friendly and knowledgeable. We got along from the outset, and he looked after us all the way though this fascinating tour of Taipei. Fabulous food, great company and the e-bikes are the best way to experience it all. Thanks Tommy. Gretel & Tony

Magical day! VERY local breakfast, lunch and snacks (made the veg for me). Well designed e-bike so you can get a workout or turn it up to 3 and break no sweat. My group was perfect (3 other attendees). I learned a lot about the history and saw some places I didn’t see in the guidebook. Definitely recommend.

This isn’t just any bike tour. The bike itself is an experience which made this standout to me in unexpected ways, making it one of the TOP highlights of my travels to Taiwan. Anyone with love for cycling should 100% sign up and experience a smooth ride on a styling minimalist e-bike. Now that my praises for the bike are out of the way, Tommy, our host was truly our best friend for the day. We covered a lot of places, hidden gems, EXCELLENT food, local sights, true Taipei living culture. I’d have not been able to experience and explore such beautiful places on my own. And the ride itself was wonderful, safe, well directed. Taipei is super flat so it doesn’t exert any stress. The bike is great, I already mentioned that! The whole thing is worth every penny. Tommy’s company is memorable. Just make sure you are well rested before this tour, not jet lagged, that way you can be more engaged because it does demand full energy, not just physical but mental and social as well.

An aptly named review! I had an awesome time on this e-bike tour with Tommy. He’s very easy to be around — personable, smart, and approachable. He knows Taipei really well, and was happy to chat about anything. He met me (a group of one) in the rain and STILL took me on the tour. The guy has got character. We covered a mix of local neighborhoods, markets, and food spots that I certainly wouldn’t have found on my own. To me, this was a near perfect tour. I learned a ton while not feeling overwhelmed. Not just facts, but feelings and perceptions. It felt less like a “tour” and more like spending a few hours exploring the city with a very knowledgeable friend. Very good value for the cost. Highly recommend this if you want to see a more local side of Taipei. Finally I feel I need to give a shout out to the bikes themselves. They’re made by one of Tommy’s companies, SURCLE, in Taiwan. Extremely well designed - smooth and lightweight. Made the whole ride feel effortless. I’d buy one if he'd ship to NYC! Thanks again for a great morning.

We loved this tour , seeing Taipei through the eyes of a local. Tommy was amazing, taking us to many different view points and sharing food experiences with us, not to forget great coffee stop too. Although these tours seem expensive, we think our experiences gained made it well worth the money. We would highly recommend

Tommy, the owner and creator of these out-of-this-world e-bikes, led our small group on an amazing tour of Taipei — showing us sides of the city you’d easily miss if you stuck to the usual tourist routes. It was such a friendly and personal experience, visiting some of Tommy’s favourite local spots and seeing the city through his eyes. His enthusiasm and local insight really shone through, allowing the group not only to learn about Taipei but also to get to know him and his passion for the city. I honestly can’t recommend this tour enough! If you’re in Taipei and have the time, book this tour. You don’t need to be super fit either — the e-bikes are effortless and make the ride a breeze. It’s easily one of the best bike tours I’ve been on in all my travels around this rock in space.

This is a must-do if visiting Taipei! The city is very friendly to biking and it will give you a great outlook of the city. If you want to fall in love with this city, follow Tommy on his e-bike (designed by himself nonetheless!) and he will give you the highlights of Taipei’s history, show you the underrated areas AND the hidden spots for food … if you like to eat, then you’re in for a great! Couldn’t recommend more

Our 4-person group had a great time on this e-bike tour with Tommy. He showed us many different neighborhoods of Taipei, and we had delicious breakfast, lunch, and drinks. Even though the temperature was high for us around 35 degC the shady e-bike riding was pleasant and Tommy made sure we had plenty of water breaks to cool off. The Surcle bikes themselves were easy to learn to ride, comfortable, and lightweight!

The best bike and food tour. Tommy is down to earth humble. He does everything from true heart. I really enjoyed the tour most.

Tommy was the most amazing tour guide. He was very interactive. We got to see Taipei from a local perspective and try and do things that we would have never have been able to do without him. He was extremely accomodating to everyone’s preferences. We learnt lots about the history, food and daily life of the locals. The bikes were amazing to ride as well. Thank you so much for the amazing tour. Best tour we’ve ever booked!

Tommy and his Surcle electric bikes were extraordinary. Amazing insight into life using backstreets, finding interesting/eclectic eateries for us to experience Taiwanese life and food. Tommy made the tour very interactive, his knowledge of areas in Taipei, of history, of food and his super friendly style made the tour special. Tommy included many stops in the hot weather of July, always finding a cool breeze by the river or in an aircon building. So many great sights included abs lots of food abs drinks included. Thank you Tommy, we loved our e-bike city tour

We had a fantastic cycling tour around Taipei with our guide, Tommy. The e-bikes, specially designed by his company, were excellent—smooth to ride and made climbing slopes a breeze. As it was our first time in Taipei, this city tour was the perfect introduction for me and my son. Tommy was personable, fluent in English, and deeply familiar with the city’s sights, hidden alleys, delicious local food, and rich history. His passion and knowledge truly enhanced the experience. We highly recommend this tour to all foreigners, especially those who enjoy cycling and want an authentic look at Taipei.

Hands down this was the best tours I had on my visit to Taipe Taiwan. To start with, the e-bike was superb in quality and offered a smooth ride. Additionally, the bike was light weight which I believed contributed to the excellent handling. Tommy Ho was an excellent tour guide. He gave so much history to all the areas we visited. The tour started off with a short scenic ride before stopping at a place where the locals go for breakfast. Tommy ordered an abundance of local delicacies to ensure I had enough energy to fuel our morning/afternoon ride. Other stops included coffee break, local markets, lunch, Songshan Cultural Park, Xinyi district, and many more places to get an adequate sightseeing tour. The morning and afternoon were non-stop for a full authentic Taiwanese experience. I would recommend this tour if you are wanting true history and flavors of Taiwanese culture. Get ready for an adventure with great food and drinks (Coffee & teas). This tour exceeded my expectations. I definitely plan on doing this again on my next trip to Taipe.
