The architects behind this city are pioneers of the New Urbanism movement, an urban-planning ethos in which cities spoke out from a town center to encourage foot and bike traffic and decrease the need for cars. South Walton is home to more than 200 miles of hiking and biking trails winding past 16 unique beach neighborhoods.

Bikes and electric energy: two things Zurich loves.

Book a <a href="https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-ch/e-bike.html" target="_blank">guided tour</a>, borrow a free bike <a href="https://www.zuerich.com/en/visit/sport/zurich-on-wheels" target="_blank">from their citywide program</a>, or get a room at the iconic <a href="https://www.bauraulac.ch/en/" target="_blank">Baur au Lac hotel</a>, where the concierge can coordinate full-day rentals or sign you up for their Bike &amp; Dine program (which includes electric wheels and a packed picnic lunch for a full day of riding, ending with dinner on a rooftop overlooking the skyline).

This charming city, midway up Vietnam&rsquo;s coast, is great for bikers: plenty of quiet lanes, canal paths, and rural roadways&mdash;not to mention a stunning countryside just outside. It&rsquo;s a former port town with a hodgepodge of ornate pagodas, covered bridges, shophouses, and temples. <a href="https://www.grasshopperadventures.com/en/tours.html?tourLength%5B%5D=One+day&amp;country%5B%5D=Vietnam&amp;city%5B%5D=Hoi+An&amp;tourStyle%5B%5D=Day+Tours&amp;duration%5B%5D=1&amp;startDate=&amp;endDate=" target="_blank">Grasshopper Adventures</a> offers day outings (your call if you want the e-bike or regular version) around the city, plus one that makes it out to <a href="http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/949" target="_blank">My Son Sanctuary</a>, ancient ruins from the Cham empire.

Wellness retreats, biking and hiking trails, water-sport-sprinkled beaches, and farm-to-table restaurants abound in this SoCal town. In fact, Carlsbad has a long history as a mecca for health junkies. In 1882, an entrepreneur tapped a mineral spring that became the nation&rsquo;s first mineral spa. <a href="http://www.pedegoelectricbikes.com/dealers/carlsbad/" target="_blank">Pedego Carlsbad</a> offers both tandem and solo e-cruisers for exploring seven miles of coastline.

Melbourne&rsquo;s central loop, Capital City Trail, is a major attraction for Aussie cyclists. It consists mostly of sections of other trails, including the Merri Creek, Yarra Trail, Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, and Inner Circle Rail Trail (all great options for those who want to push away from the city center). The circuit passes landmarks like Southbank, the Melbourne Zoo, and the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Electric bikes will never stand in for a <a href=/category/body/workouts>workout</a>. But, they enable you to <a href=/articles/2017/05/48-hours-byron-bay>see more of a city</a> when you can cruise at faster speeds. And unlike Segways or Ubers, they require work; they give you an electric boost with every <a href=/articles/2017/11/amsterdam-by-bike>pedal stroke</a>but you’re still the one doing the pumping. Here, a few spots across the globe that are particularly e-bike-friendly.
