Overview

This two-hour electric fat bike ride takes you up and around Mount Royal, Montreal's hilltop park, starting from a meeting point on Rue Prince-Arthur Est at 10:30. Riders meet the guide from operator Jusst, get fitted with a helmet and a bike, and head into the park with the group. The motor does most of the climbing work, so the ride stays manageable, and the route includes stops with views over the city before returning to the starting point.

The tour operates in all weather conditions, including winter. Some reviewers describe riding through snow, with the guide providing warm-up stops and equipment to keep everyone warm on cold days. Along the way the guide shares history of the area and points out neighbourhoods and food spots.

It suits travellers aged 16 and over who can balance on a bike and have moderate fitness. No serious pedalling effort is needed thanks to the electric assist, which several reviewers said made it work for mixed groups and varying experience levels. Anyone uncomfortable on two wheels, pregnant travellers, or those with back problems should look elsewhere.

  • What is provided. A guide, helmet and use of the bicycle are included. Gratuities are not. Reviewers mention the guide providing equipment to help everyone stay warm on winter rides.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, is limited to travellers 16 and older, and it is not advised for people with back problems, pregnant travellers, or anyone with serious heart or other medical conditions. It runs in all weather, so a cold or snowy day can be demanding if you are not dressed for it. One reviewer reported arriving to find no guide, apparently due to renovations at the shop, though the refund was issued promptly.
