Toronto E-Bike Routes: Elevation Profiles

Route Notes:

This lakefront route is almost entirely flat, making it perfect for beginners and leisure riders. The minimal elevation changes mean you can use a lower assist level to maximize your battery range.

Route Notes:

This route features several challenging climbs through the Don Valley. Use a higher assist level for the steeper sections (around the 5-7km and 10-12km marks) to conserve your energy. The descents provide good opportunities to regenerate battery power if your model supports this feature.

Route Notes:

This urban circuit features gradual elevation changes as you navigate through Toronto's neighborhoods. The steepest section is from 3km to 6km as you climb away from the lake into the downtown area. The second half of the route provides a more gentle descent back to the starting point.

Route Notes:

The Toronto Islands route is virtually flat throughout, making it ideal for families and casual riders. With no elevation challenges, you can use minimal assistance and enjoy extended battery life. Wind can be a factor near the lake, so be prepared for some resistance even on this flat terrain.

Route Notes:

This route follows the Humber River northward with a gradual but consistent climb for the first 14km, followed by a more gentle descent on the return journey. Plan your battery usage accordingly, using higher assist modes for the uphill sections while conserving power on the downhill return.
