🚴‍♂️ eBike vs Bicycle: Which Is Best for Exploring Beijing?

When it comes to exploring Beijing, two wheels are better than four — every time. But should you go with a classic bicycle or hop on one of our easy-to-use eBikes?

At Our Beijing, we offer both — and depending on the season, your style, and how adventurous you’re feeling, either can be your perfect companion for discovering a side of the city most visitors completely miss.

Let’s break it down 👇


⚡ Why We Love Our eBikes (And You Will Too)

Our eBikes are hands-down the most comfortable way to explore Beijing year-round. Whether you’re cruising through the hutongs or zipping past skyscrapers, the experience is effortless — so you can focus on the adventure, not the sweat.

🔥 In Summer:

  • It’s HOT. Beijing summers can easily hit the high 30s.
  • Our eBikes create a natural breeze — no pedaling = no sweat
  • You get around faster, cooler, and with less effort

❄️ In Winter:

  • Cold? No problem. We’ve got blankets and handlebar muffs for chilly fingers
  • eBikes keep you moving quickly, so you don’t freeze at every red light
  • Layers + movement = the perfect winter ride

🎯 If you can ride a regular bike, you can ride our eBikes. They’re simple, safe, and intuitive.

🚲 What About Classic Bicycles?

We also have high-quality Decathlon bikes — well-maintained, comfortable, and great for guests who prefer a more traditional ride.

  • Great for those who love a little exercise
  • Familiar style if you’re used to riding back home
  • Lightweight and perfect for navigating narrow hutongs

We keep our groups small and adaptable — so if you prefer pedaling, we’ve got you covered.


🗺️ No Matter What You Ride… It’s About Where You Go

Whether you choose an eBike or bicycle, what matters most is the journey — and we’ve curated some of Beijing’s most unique and unforgettable routes, led by people who truly love this city.

No matter which experience you book, you’re not just along for the ride — you’re part of the adventure.


❤️ What Makes Our Rides Different

We’re not just guides — we’re explorers, storytellers, and locals who care.

  • We go off-route, follow local life, and chase what’s interesting
  • We adapt each experience to your group — no two rides are ever the same
  • We’ll stop for a rooftop café, a cricket fight, or a surprise temple if the moment feels right

This is our Beijing — and we can’t wait to share it with you.
