Why Our E-Bike and Picnic Experience Is Different

Most people ride the rail trail and miss the best part — stopping in your space and time.

This experience is built around it.

Instead of just riding from A to B, you can stop anywhere along the Northern Rivers Rail Trail and set up your picnic in minutes. A quiet creekside clearing, a sunny stretch with mountain views, or a hidden pocket most riders pass — you choose.

Setup takes about five minutes. Then it’s just you, the food and the scenery.

This is how the rail trail is meant to be experienced.
