Where you can ride

Self-guided routes from Yangshuo

Seven mapped routes leave from our Yangshuo shop, plus the Longsheng terrace climbs and the two golden routes down from Guilin. Every one is graded, measured and off the highways — you get the distance, the climbing and the steepest pitch before you decide, not after.

Navigation that works in China

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.

Before you book

Yangshuo rental questions

Is Yangshuo overrun with commercial tourist buses?

While social media shows crowded tourist hubs, our local guides utilize hidden, off-the-beaten-path routes for multi-day e-bike tours. We carefully design custom trails that completely avoid tourist buses and crowded scenic spots, winding through quiet limestone countryside lanes. Our team provides precise GPX files upon request for your ebike rental journey. These specialized files are updated weekly after regular route inspections to keep your ebike tour completely safe and scenic.

What lighting gear comes with Yangshuo rentals?

Every premium bicycle rental from CycleQuest China includes a high-performance Magicshine front headlight and a specialized Magicshine safety helmet featuring an integrated rear flashing light. We strictly mandate these specific lighting configurations to protect riders during evening transitions or sudden weather changes along the Li River corridors. Additionally, the complete equipment package includes dual waterproof rear pannier bags designed to keep your personal items entirely dry during our multi-day tours.

What are the direct ebike delivery fees?

For clients requiring direct bicycle delivery or collection at their lodging venue in Yangshuo, a flat logistics fee of 60 RMB is applied per one-way transfer. This brings the total cost for a comprehensive round-trip delivery and retrieval service to exactly 120 RMB. Alternatively, clients can choose to return their rental fleet vehicles directly to our physical shop front at the end of their itinerary, which incurs absolutely zero additional handling fees.

How do you verify deposit exemption status?

If you are staying at an approved partner venue, our showroom team simply verifies your active room registration details during the digital check-in process at our shop front. This automated validation bypasses all administrative delays and financial friction. It ensures a rapid vehicle handover so you can mount your premium carbon frame or full-suspension ebike rental and begin your custom ebike tour across Yangshuo with zero hassle.

What brands of ebikes are available for rent?

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.

Do rental gravel bikes come with specialized tires?

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.

Can I install my own pedals and saddle?

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.

What is the real-world battery climbing range?

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.

How do guided tours handle mid-day battery charging?

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.

Will the 25 km/h motor cap be annoying?

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.
