Where you can ride
Seven mapped routes leave from our Guilin shop, and two of them run all the way to Yangshuo. Every one is graded, measured and off the highways — you get the distance, the climbing and the steepest pitch before you decide, not after.
Each route ships as a .GPX file for your Garmin, Wahoo or head unit, and as an Amap (高德地图) guide route. Amap is the navigation app that actually carries China's road data and live traffic — download the English-language Amap Global app before you fly, and we send the route links with your booking confirmation.
No route matches that combination.

Whilst staying in Yangshuo the 3 of us booked the 66km e-cycle tour with Cycle Quest China through our hotel (you can of course book directly with them) taking in rice and lotus fields, incredible mountain views, experiencing the natural wonders of the Yangshuo area as well as a fantastic local lunch in a tiny village where the fish, chicken and vegetable’s were so delicious as a result of the local mineral water spring and local farming methods. We had the absolute best day with our expert guides. It was very well coordinated with regular rest and hydration breaks. We were very well taken care of and had the most amazing experience, we are already looking at booking again! Cannot rate this company highly enough! Excellent! 🌟 🚲
The Hanson family66km e-cycle tour · New ZealandAfter 10 months and a little over 10,000 km traveled eastward by bike, we've finally set off on our grand return journey from Tokyo. This family trip allowed us to discover a small part of the world, encountering immense human generosity along the way. The encounters and smiles we received far exceeded our expectations! Perhaps we also discovered a part of ourselves... Thank you for our meeting on the bikes Rob 🙏🙏 Looking forward to seeing you again!
Maud, François, Colombine, Brune, and EloiFranceFantastic way to explore an amazing part of the world. Rob hooked me up with a really well set up di2 road bike that let me explore around the roads of the Guilin-Yangshuo. Well suggested routes and GPS maps, and helpful staff. Excellent area for credit card camping, with very reasonable accommodation and food, and super memorable scenery. All the better from a speedy bike!
Peter MaceNew ZealandRiding the T1 route with CycleQuest China was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. We wanted a genuine adventure without the stress of planning, and this team delivered flawlessly. The itinerary took us through some truly unique, breathtaking locations that we never would have discovered on our own, offering a perfect blend of rewarding rides and stunning cultural immersion. What truly set this trip apart, however, was the on-the-ground team. The guides had such a fantastic attitude they were incredibly supportive, highly knowledgeable, and always one step ahead with logistics and support. Having direct access to such professional local experts gave us total peace of mind. If you are considering a cycling trip in China, we totally recommend it!
Pablo Domínguez & Tomás DomínguezT1 route · ArgentinaOur day trip through the Yangshuo karst landscapes was incredible. It perfectly combined cycling and hiking with breathtaking views of the region. The ground support was exceptional; everything from the curated viewpoints to the hydration and electrolyte supplies was meticulously organized, allowing us to just focus on the adventure. Connecting directly with our guide, Rob, made the experience even more special, as he shared deep, fascinating insights about the region's culture and local life. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a truly seamless outdoor experience!
Arne MetzgerYangshuo day trip · GermanyOur family recently spent two weeks travelling through China and we were fortunate to discover Rob and Cyclequest while in Yangshuo. We joined a half-day e-cycling tour that took us along the river, through the stunning karst hills, and into local villages we would never have found on our own. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip. The equipment was modern and well maintained, and Rob was exceptionally friendly, generous with his time, and deeply knowledgeable about the area. His local insight made the experience feel authentic. We only wish we had found Cyclequest earlier in our stay, as we would happily have booked another ride. We’re already looking forward to returning.
John, Charlotte, Matthew and JosephHalf-day e-cycling tour · New ZealandOur whole adventure started by chance. We walked into the bike shop in Guilin just to browse, and two days later, we left as friends, completely amazed. Even though we had no gear, the team sorted everything in a snap. The 80km bike tour from Guilin to Yangshuo was something else entirely! We saw the real China: ancient villages, bridges, river crossings, and tough climbs, complete with a cafe at the top of a pass with a 'million-dollar view'. But the real story happened when our support moped's battery died on a climb. Without missing a beat, our guide and the company's founder, Rob, packed all 20 kilos of our gear into his huge backpack, slung it on, and said, 'Let's keep going.' He kept pace and cracked jokes as if he were carrying a feather. That's when we realized Rob is made of steel and pure passion. That's next-level commitment—an owner who cares more about the experience and the people than just going through the motions. You don't just run tours; you create stories that stick with people forever. To anyone who wants to see China come alive and feel like a friend, not a tourist—look no further.
The Pashchenko family80km bike tour from Guilin to Yangshuo · MoscowDiscovering Guilin by bike was simply amazing! Taking on both the 96 KM T1 Xianggong Mountain route and the 89 KM ride to the Great Waterfall gave us an unforgettable way to experience China up close. Riding through these regions offers something you just cannot get from a bus window—breathtaking karst landscapes towering above you, crisp fresh air, and a profound connection to the local environment and authentic village life. Tackling nearly 185 kilometers over two days might sound daunting to some, but the entire journey was executed flawlessly. The premium equipment provided made the long climbs and sweeping valley descents feel smooth, responsive, and completely secure. A special thanks goes out to our tour organizer, Rob, who planned every single detail perfectly. His deep local knowledge of the area meant we were always riding on the best, safest roads with the most spectacular views. He guided us with incredible dedication, ensuring our logistics were entirely handled, from perfectly timed hydration stops to expert route pacing. If you want a truly immersive, seamless outdoor adventure without any of the typical travel stress, this is it. Highly recommended!
MichaelT1 Xianggong Mountain route & Great Waterfall ride · GermanyWe visited Guilin with friends and were lucky enough to cross paths with Rob. After experiencing excellent food and service, the highlight was his suggestion for a bike route down to Yangshuo. We met up the next morning, and honestly, the whole experience felt like a dream. Rob and his team provided professional, patient support the entire way. Having the support van follow us to ensure we had water, snacks, and meals exactly when we needed a break was incredible. The ride was challenging, but it delivered the most beautiful scenery I have ever witnessed. We arrived in Yangshuo exhausted but completely satisfied. Thank you for an amazing trip!

Before you book
Most local small rental shops only provide heavy domestic commuter e-bikes built for daily transport. However, professional cycling tour operators provide actual premium carbon fiber electric mountain bikes for a multi-day tour. Our advanced ebike rental fleet includes high-performance models like the Amflow, Specialized Turbo Levo, Cannondale Moterra, and Trek Fuel EXe. These lightweight, premium vehicles are specially engineered for trail riding, ensuring maximum comfort and reliability during an extensive backcountry ebike tour.
Most local bike shops do not have ready-made gravel configurations, but our specialized company has them fully available for your ebike tour. If you book carbon road or electric options in advance, our mechanics can refit them with wider gravel rims and tires. The tire width can be modified to 32c or 36c, which is perfectly suited for mixed-surface routes and loose dirt tracks during longer multi-day tours across southern China.
For riders booking a full-suspension ebike rental for our multi-day e-bike tours, equipment customization is fully supported. Please inform our team of your preferred clipless pedal style before placing your order, as we normally maintain various options in stock. If we do not have your exact type, you are welcome to bring your own clip pedals and saddle. Simply note your specific technical needs on the request form in advance to ensure a perfect ebike tour setup.
We offer two distinct models of e-bikes for multi-day tours: the DJI Amflow and the Phoenix. Both battery systems function exceptionally well in hot weather, supporting a real-world riding range spanning from 80 to over 100 kilometers. However, battery power drains faster in cold winter conditions. The premium Amflow performs significantly better on steep mountain climbs, while the Phoenix handles roughly 90 kilometers with 600–700 meters of elevation gain on an ebike tour.
Our guided multi-day tours incorporate strategic rest stops, small village shops, and lunch breaks along the route. Our professional ebike tour guides actively monitor fleet battery levels and arrange quick charging if your power runs low deep in the countryside. For our latest DJI Amflow ebike rental models, convenient battery swapping is also available. To completely eliminate range anxiety, it is best to charge your bike during lunchtime whenever infrastructure permits.
All our premium ebike rental vehicles are factory hard-capped at a 25 km/h limit in strict compliance with national traffic laws. The motor will automatically cut off power assistance once you exceed this speed, following the exact same regulatory framework as European Union e-bikes. While this may feel slow on long, flat paved roads, we intentionally design our multi-day e-bike tours to mix backcountry trails and quiet lanes, where you can always pedal harder.
Yes, premium operators offer a comprehensive "Ride, Tech, and Repair" (RTR) pre-ride briefing before setting off into the mountains. Our team will walk you through specific motor and battery systems to ensure safe operation during a multi-day tour. You will learn that the Phoenix and Amflow models have completely different operation modes. The Amflow is better for long-distance, challenging climbs, while the Phoenix is ideal for casual, flat road ebike tour itineraries.
Please inform our staff of your required touring bags before commencing your ebike rental. We provide a wide array of specialized accessories completely free of charge upon advance reservation for longer multi-day tours. Our inventory includes fully waterproof front and rear pannier bags (four in total), top tube bags, handlebar storage bags, and secure phone holders. Marking your needs clearly on the booking form ensures you survive sudden monsoon downpours during your ebike tour.
Many international riders successfully rent our premium carbon smart e-bikes for demanding trail conditions. Our flagship DJI Amflow ebike rental vehicles feature an advanced IP56 waterproof and dustproof system, ensuring the electronic system works reliably on wet, muddy trails. The motor and battery ports are well-sealed against heavy splashes and mud during our multi-day e-bike tours. You should simply avoid high-pressure water washing on the electric components after completing your daily ebike tour stage.
You are welcome to bring non-riding family members on multi-day tours, though extra costs may apply. Our long-distance group itineraries ensure enough comfortable seats are arranged in the support van alongside spare parts. Our daily schedule combines cycling, hiking, and outdoor sightseeing, stopping every 10 to 20 kilometers for photos and meals. Family members can join the whole journey comfortably while your ebike rental fleet receives active tracking and mechanical support.
Send us your dates, your height and what you want to ride. A local rider answers — usually within 24 hours — with the exact bikes we can hold for you.
A great ride demands great equipment. We do not compromise on our fleet. Whether you are tackling mountain trails or cruising scenic river valleys, our fully maintained, high-performance bikes are ready for the challenge. Our Premium E-Bike & MTB Fleet Includes: Specialized, Trek, Cannondale, Amflow, Fnix. Every bike is meticulously serviced by our in-house mechanics before every tour to ensure perfect performance.
