About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- RoseT6110 contributionsGreat way to get around West LakeWe did a West Lake tour and were thrilled to get out and around the lake, feel a breeze on our faces and see a few different areas and sights around the lake. The team were really responsive and informative before the tour, especially as the route had to be adjusted because of the recent typhoon. Our guide was clear and we felt safe navigating the roads around the lake and enjoyed the stops for coffee and chat!Written 15 September 2024
- 126uweh0 contributionsGreat tourMy wife and I were secure guided through the vibrant traffic and had great experience with real highlights of the City in 4 hoursWritten 28 March 2024
- Sightseer185142022830 contributionsBest bike rental company in Hanoi!I love love LOVE the tour we had with electric smiles! The bikes here are of better quality than the ones we've used before on previous tours in Thailand and Bali, we're actually are very pleasantly surprised as we know not a lot of rental places use such high quality bikes so this is definitely a plus. Prior to booking a rental with Electric Smiles, the staff here were so helpful and attentive, they answered all of our questions relating to the tours and also gave really nice recommendation for itinerary during our stay here in Hanoi. Lovely company, highly recommend.Written 12 March 2024
- X1051WOrobm0 contributions10 day e-bike hireWhilst Electric Smiles run e-bike tours in and around Hanoi, my request to hire an e-bike for 10 days to do around 500k in the mountains was totally out of their normal operations. However not only did they agree, they have also gone above and beyond to assist me with this tour. This included not only bike hire, but also transport arrangements to and from my start and finish points (with the bike), booking some accommodation for me, liaising and interpreting on several occasions, and fully supporting me during the ride. If you have any interest in doing a "different" style of adventure in Vietnam, I strongly recommend you contact them to discuss options. They are fluent in English & Vietnamese and were an absolute pleasure to deal with.Written 17 February 2024
- 680mink0 contributionsGreat experience!The West Lake tour in Hanoi is an excellent choice for individuals like myself who are on the path to recovery from running-related injuries but still seek exercise and enjoyment. The electric bikes provide a comfortable and leisurely ride, allowing you to soak in the scenery and cultural without putting undue strain on your body. Additionally, the owner of the tour is incredibly kind and supportive, making the experience even more delightful.Written 17 February 2024
- khanhlyn20220 contributionsAmazing tour that will blow your mind awayHoi An is one of our favorite destinations because it is where we got married. We go to Hoi An quite often. Normally we rent motorbikes to go around for sight seeing This time one day we saw a group of tourists on ebikes, they looked so happy and so enjoyable that we stopped to ask for information. A few days later we took the same tour and were amazed with the whole trip. Sight seeing by Ebike helps you to enjoy the nature more, slowly take in the scenic view of the yellow rice fields when you ride through small paths around villages. Especially you will visit local family having tranditional household industries, finding out how Vietnamese make fine rice wine, rice paper, famous fish sauce, sesame oil.... all made by hands. A fresh and cold coconut juice at a stop will refresh your mind and soul on a hot day or a gounded coffee cup will blow your mind away. It is a great way to meet the local people, get to know their daily activities and family- made products that become so famous about Hoi An. We highly recommend this tour by Electric Smiles. We had such a memorable day and an amazing experience, a totally different aspect of Hoi An.Written 17 February 2024
- 274cyndiy0 contributionsseriously one of our fav experiences, ever!Doing the 3 day, 2 night Mai Chau Pu Long Private e-bike tour is probably one of the coolest experiences we'll ever do. And it was definitely the highlight of our 3+ week SE Asia adventure. Our guide Lily was simply the best! Not only did she have the best energy and attitude, she also was so friendly that every local we interacted with literally welcomed us into their home. She accommodated every stop we wanted to make and always provided great insight and context. She went above and beyond at many moments, ensuring we got the food we wanted and best experience. Seeing these different mountain communities by bike enabled such an authentic experience that we are genuinely grateful for. The bikes made the ride easy and graceful. And the Mai Chau Hideaway lunch stop was some of the best food of our entire Vietnam trip. Truth is, I'm always a little skeptical of Trip Advisor reviews - in terms of the level of honesty and being from real people - but I am being sincere when I say - if you're comfortable riding bikes, this is 100% worth doing!Written 1 December 2023
- chui yng c0 contributionsGreat ride & excellent tour guide! Highly recommended!Amazing ride! Excellent customer centric mindset with young and energetic tour guide.

The cycling trip was very fun and gentle on the e-bike. We cycled to the countryside and saw the well-preserved ancient citadel and the local people houses. Throughout the journey, our guide Quan, was a very friendly and enthusiast guide with good knowledge about the sight. We had vegan lunch, which is new to me because I haven't tried rice with a variety of vegetable side dishes like that before. This was such a remarkable tour!

E-Mazing time on this e-bike tour on outskirts of Hanoi. It was fabulous to travel down quiet lanes and along river banks over bridges, rice fields, temples and lovely banana Island. Most of the 40k+ is on quieter roads with only some sections need to be on main roads. What a great way to experience the scenery.
Our guide (Minh) was very considerate and safety minded navigating the busy roads. The ebikes take all the hard work of cycling and suitable for any ability. They are great quality. If you want to feel like you are cycling you can opt for lowest setting, though I especially liked the turbo boost for getting up the hills!! You should give yourself 5 hours to enjoy the stops, and on hot day the coconut water and the lovely tamarind juice were so refreshing.
Really loved the peaceful setting at Co Lao temple, with lotus flowers in season, and also the ripe rice fields and after coming across Long Bien bridge and onto banana Island was a great finish. So many highlights, and great idea for a trip for travellers or those who live in Hanoi and want to enjoy seeing the beauty outside the bustling city.
Hope to get to use Electric Smiles again next time in Hoi An or Mai Chau. Thank you Electric Smiles Team!!

Me and my 2 other friends had an amazing trip to an ancient village & Co Loa with Electric Smiles. Though I was born and raised in Hanoi but this trip did broaden my horizon a lot. It shows my many other aspects of the city I'm living in. Our tour guides were Hung and Quan. They're extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They wowed us on their compelling about the places. I have to say that the tour guides play a very crucial role when you're being on tour. Without them, the trip would be tedious and shallow. Moreover, as I'm pretty much aware of protecting the environment so that Electric Smiles has become my favorite. They prepared all the wooden water bottles for us and we could refill anytime. To mention about the bike, it's absolutely fantastic! I went nut because of it. We didn't feel burnt out after 45km riding because the pedal is assisted by electricity. What a brilliant invention! All in all, it will be a big mistake if you don't join with Electric Smiles when visiting Hanoi.

Our tour to Co Loa on Friday was fantastic. The e-Bikes brought us a different experience. It was really easy to handle and the route is amazing. All we saw was green and green. Our tour guide - Quan and Hung were very helpful. They gave us a lot of information and good stories. Highly recommended this tour to discover Vietnam!!!

A group of 8 of us did the Ancient Village and The Legend of Co Loa Tour and it was absolutely fantastic! It was fantastic to see the countryside of Hanoi and get out into the fresh air! Our guides were amazing and full of knowledge and stories. It was great to see the Ancient Village and learn about family life there. The bikes were a dream to ride, very safe and so much fun! I cannot recommend this tour enough! 10/10!!

A group of us did the Co Loa tour and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Excellent way to see Hanoi's countryside, as well as its ancient villages and temples.
Our tour guides were very knowledgable and friendly and gave us great insight into Hanoi's cultural past. The bikes were also very easy to use and comfortable!
