Overview

Starting and ending at Grand Central Market, our Downtown LA E-Bike Tour covers all of Downtown and gets you back in time for lunch. Downtown is the birthplace of Los Angeles and essential to understanding the rest of the city — on this ride, you'll stop at the classic theaters of Broadway, Crypto.com Arena (home of the Lakers), Little Tokyo, City Hall, The Broad Museum, and Walt Disney Concert Hall, among other highlights.

You won't see this much of Downtown on a bus or walking tour, Handlebar Bike Tours takes you where cars can't go. Being on a bike means we can stop for photos and a closer look. Your guide narrates the neighborhood's history, film locations, architecture, local policy, events, and lore as you ride.

This e-bike tour is designed for casual riders, with much of the route in dedicated bike lanes. We take an off-bike break in a historic neighborhood, browse shops, or grab a cold drink.

If you only have a few hours to experience Downtown LA, this is the tour for you.
