About
It all started in 2019 when I purchased my first electric bike and took it for a ride on Skyline Drive. It reminded me of riding a motorcycle, but was much less risky. I wanted to share that experience with as many people as possible so, in 2021, I bought 10 more bikes and started offering E-Bike tours on Skyline Drive. In 2022, we began a Shenandoah Valley Winery Tour which proved to be very popular.
Our Shenandoah Valley Winery Tour is a scenic E-Bike ride along the country roads of Shenandoah County stopping at three Virginia wineries along the way.

FAQS
You’ve Got Questions — We’ve Got Answers
HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO RIDE AN ELECTRIC BIKE?
Anyone who can ride a bicycle can ride an electric bike. To take this tour, we recommend children no younger than 14 due to the size of the bikes. The bikes are designed for riders 5'1"-6'4" tall and no more than 275 pounds.
IS IT HARD TO RIDE AN ELECTRIC BIKE?
It's just like riding a bike. If you know how to ride a regular bicycle, you can easily ride an electric bike. Although we ride on roads with very little traffic, please ensure all riders are comfortable sharing the road with motor vehicles.
DO I HAVE TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE TO TAKE THIS TOUR?
No, but you will have to do a little pedaling up the hills. Electric bikes are designed to assist the rider, so you'll be able to ride faster and farther than you would a regular bicycle. Even the hilly terrain of the Shenandoah Valley is accessible to most riders with the assistance of an electric motor.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
This was a fantastic tour. The e-bikes are well maintained, easy to use, and provide just enough of a boost to make this a totally enjoyable and easy ride. Mike was our guide, and he was so friendly and accommodating. We stopped at a brewery and two wineries, all of which were fantastic - good food, very local, and great beer and wine. I seriously can't recommend this enough! What a unique and fun experience.

We had a wonderful bike experience and winery tour! Burgess was a great tour guide and took us on a memorable adventure. The bikes were easy to operate and made riding the rolling hills so enjoyable. The wine venues were relaxing with music, gorgeous views, delicious wine. Thank you Burg - we'll spread the word!!
Paula Shantzis
AMAZING time. So much fun and with so much natural beauty particularly now with the leaves changing. Burgess was our guide. He did a great job coordinating everything and made sure everything went smoothly. We visited 3 vineyards and sampled some great wines AND some ciders. I cannot recommend this enough. I was told we were the last tour of the season, but they will reopen in the spring.

A group of us went on the Virginia Winery ebike tour this weekend with Burgess- AMAZING experience filled with laughter, adventure, and gorgeous views! The electric bikes were easy to use even for beginners. The owner was knowledgeable and friendly and we all navigated the roads well. Seriously one of the best days ever! Highly recommend!
