Fun experience riding down the mountain, as long as you are careful. The path appears brand news, and the stand-up bikes were very well maintained with excellent brakes. However, you can get going very fast downhill, and if you are not an experienced bike rider with knowledge of the front and back braking system, you could easily fall. However, the views down the mointain are amazing, with lots of places to stop and sit down on benches and enjoy the views. There are both pedestrians and bikes on this trail.
We were very excited to go in this adventure on the scooter coming down the mountain . No one explained the brakes were as powerful as they were and unfortunately I paid the price only 3 minutes in. I passed two ladies slowly and then let the brakes go a little and put them on a little too much as I felt I was free wheeling too fast and then the scooter came to an abrupt stop and of course so did I!! I flew over the handlebars and landed on my face breaking my nose, cutting my face hands and knees!! I was thankfully rescued by the two ladies who I slowly passed, called the company who really didn’t care and was taken to a waiting ambulance who took me to the local hospital!! 3 x rays later and ultra sound I am ok but very sore and bruised… knowing what I do now I would never have gone on this!! I’m sure loads of people enjoy this but for me I am paying the price for lack of knowledge and care from the company!!
Top! Lots of fun.
The short tour was on asphalt, while the long tour also had gravel. Great brakes. It was a great ride.
The Happy Trail has many long sections where you have to push your bike uphill. Furthermore, a large part of the trail runs along a public road with car traffic. Good idea, poor execution. We cannot recommend it.
It says everywhere that it's open. But today, with a bright blue sky, no scooters. There's no information available.
