1. West Dyke Trail
Distance: ~6 km
Type: Flat gravel trail
Best For: Casual cruising, sunsets, family rides
Running along the western edge of Richmond, the West Dyke Trail offers stunning views of the ocean, Steveston, and even Vancouver Island on a clear day. With almost no traffic, it's a favorite for locals and a great place to test out a step-through e-bike for the first time.
📍 Park near Garry Point or Terra Nova and follow the trail north or south.
2. Middle Arm Waterfront Trail
Distance: ~3.7 km
Type: Paved multi-use path
Best For: Beginners, photography lovers, waterfront cruising
This scenic trail follows the Fraser River and connects to the Olympic Oval. It’s smooth, wide, and great for riders of all levels — including kids or first-time renters.
✅ Ideal for testing throttle/pedal assist modes on your Thunder e-bike.
3. Iona Beach Regional Park
Distance: ~4 km pier + surrounding paths
Type: Gravel/dirt causeway
Best For: Peaceful rides, nature lovers, fat tire e-bike owners
Iona’s long straight pier takes you far into the water — a surreal and peaceful experience. If you’re riding a fat tire e-bike or looking for open, flat space to cruise, this is a must-visit.
⚠️ Bring water and layers — it’s exposed!
4. Shell Road Trail
Distance: ~5 km
Type: Multi-surface path (gravel, dirt, boardwalks)
Best For: Off-road riding, testing suspension, adventurous riders

🛠️ Ask Tung about recommended tire pressure for mixed terrain!
