Niagara Falls E-Bike Tour — Gorge Views and Hidden History from the Aquarium
Glide on a premium e-bike from the Aquarium of Niagara through gorge trails, historic power-plant ruins, and close-up waterfall viewpoints while guides unpack the region's hidden and often gritty stories. This 2.5-hour ride blends geology, industry, and human history with hands-on e-bike touring.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a small water bottle
There are brief stops but not long breaks; a 20–32 oz bottle will keep you comfortable on the 2.5-hour loop.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Wooden walkways and wet surfaces near the Falls can be slippery; sturdy shoes improve traction and comfort.
Layer for mist and wind
Even warm afternoons can feel cool near the spray — a lightweight waterproof shell is worth carrying.
Secure loose gear
Use a zippered pack or strap devices; spray and river wind can easily dislodge phones or hats.

Conservation Note
Niagara State Park manages visitor impact through designated paths and educational programs; avoid stray litter and stay on marked trails to protect fragile shoreline vegetation.
The Niagara gorge shaped early hydroelectric innovation; the 1956 collapse of the Schoellkopf station dramatically altered local industry and safety practices.
