Keep Austin Zero-Emission

Austin has grown faster than almost any American city in the past decade, but the things that made it worth growing toward remain — the music scene, Barton Springs, the Colorado River winding through the heart of the city, and a genuine commitment to outdoor culture. The challenge is that Austin's growth has brought the traffic to match, which makes getting around in a conventional way increasingly frustrating.

The Colorado River's Town Lake is surrounded by the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail — 10 miles of continuous waterfront trail that's the city's most democratic public space. Electric kayak tours launch from multiple points along the lake and explore the wildlife corridor that exists improbably in the center of a major city. E-bike tours of South Congress, East Austin, and the Rainey Street entertainment district give visitors neighborhood context that a rideshare simply cannot provide.

Barton Creek Greenbelt, a limestone canyon system within the city limits, is accessible by e-bike and increasingly serviced by electric-assist trail experiences. The Texas Hill Country — wildflower country, wine country, swimming hole country — starts 30 minutes west and is ideal e-bike riding terrain. Keep Austin weird. And keep it clean.

Common Questions About Austin

Tours that leave nothing behind but memories.
We currently feature 23 zero-emission tours in Austin, including electric kayak tours of Lady Bird Lake (Town Lake) and guided electric boat cruises through the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail corridor. The lake is surrounded by downtown's skyline and populated by herons, turtles, and the occasional bat colony at sunset. The Barton Creek Greenbelt also has electric kayak options for a wilder, limestone-cave-dotted experience.
Yes. South Congress (SoCo) and East Austin are ideal e-bike touring territory — the streets are flat, bike lanes are marked, and the neighborhoods are dense enough to cover on two wheels.

East Austin tours cover the historic neighborhood, its evolving restaurant scene, and the local galleries.
Full-day e-bike tours run from Austin into the Texas Hill Country, covering the wildflower fields, winery routes, and swimming holes west of the city.

Segway tours of downtown Austin and the Rainey Street entertainment district are available, covering the Capitol grounds, the Colorado River waterfront, and the vibrant bar and restaurant corridor.
