Description
Come see Moab in a whole new way! E-Motion Moab offers the first and only electric dirt bike tours in Utah. Don't be a passenger in a Jeep or other off-road vehicle, you can be in the driver seat of these fun, exciting, and user friendly machines. The quiet ride allows you to immerse yourself in the environment and interact with your group. Set your own pace as you follow the pathway through giant rock formations and across wide open plateaus with spectacular views all around. When you reach the top of the hill and capture the views of the Colorado River and three parks (Canyonlands NP, Dead Horse Point SP, Bears Ears NM) This is only the half way point and you get to continue your ride back through the amazing scenery.

Everything was wonderful. Just the right amount of time and the bikes were a lot of fun.
Awesome experience- beautiful views!
We had a great time on our electric dirt bike tour with Tyler. Thanks a lot Tyler! Mike
Great time! Tyler was a fantastic guide. We lived it.
Trip Advisor fails to mention on its website that riders must be 5’5” tall to ride the electric motorbikes despite the experience being open to those 12 years old and older. Considering only 35 to 40% of adult women in the US are 5’5” tall or taller, this experience excludes the majority of women including me. The tour operator, E-Motion Moab, can and should offer youth bikes for those under 5’5” tall so more families can enjoy this experience and quite frankly, they can make more money. Trip Advisor should update their website to save other families from experiencing disappointment due to the height requirement.
Hello, Understandably disappointing to learn later that there is a height requirement. Just like a rollercoaster, it is required for safety. A one star review really hurts our small business, especially considering the review is unrelated to our services and experience. I hope you would reconsider. I'll work with TripAdvisor to make this detail more prominent. We do our best to be inclusive of as many people as possible. Our Electric Bikes are much easier to ride and more approachable than any gas dirt bike which does make them great for families. The size of the bikes do require a safe riding height of 5'5". We do make exceptions for people with some experience with heavy bikes, but our focus is safety. Not all bikes are created equal and smaller bikes do not have the battery range needed to complete our tours with the larger bikes.
This was so much fun!! My boys dirtbike regularly so this was the highlight of their trip. The sights were breathtaking and the trail was fun since it wasn’t just a boring flat ride. We booked another tour bc we loved this so much
Awesome experience riding through the desert and Rich is the man.
Wow what an incredible experience. My son and I rode out with Rich as our guide. Truly spectacular views and no problem for me as a beginner. My son is pretty experienced on the bikes and he loved it. Plenty of stops to get pictures and Rich took some great video for si too. I’d recommend bringing a go pro to capture even more of the scenery. Well worth it and we’ll be back! Beautiful
This was awesome! I went with my two sons aged 12 and 16, and we all absolutely loved it. I ride road and mountain bikes fairly often but haven’t ever been on a motorized bike or motorcycle. This was a perfect ride, our guide, Tyler, was the best! So accommodating and easy. He hung back with me while my fearless boys tried to leave me in their dust ha! Why a blast. Amazing views, pictures, it was better than expected
We were very excited about this but it was cancelled 30 mins prior due to wet conditions. Communication was a bit poor which was frustrating, since we had travelled 4 hours and booked hotels but I realize weather is out of our control. I just would have appreciated better communication. We’ll try again.
