Recorre en e-MTB el circuito de Cao Bang y Ha Giang, pasando por las cascadas de Ban Gioc y el cañón de Ma Pi Leng, y los arrozales en terrazas de Mu Cang Chai y Moc Chau. El viaje más largo va desde Sapa hasta Ciudad Ho Chi Minh.
An e-MTB ride across Vietnam's far-north mountains on the Chinese border, from Cao Bang and the Ban Gioc waterfall via Bao Lac, Meo Vac and Dong Van to Ha Giang. Switchback passes between karst peaks, canyons, waterfalls and the villages of 21 ethnic minorities — travel with just a suitcase, no bike to pack. Suitable for anyone with 2+ years of off-road riding.
Indochina Grand Traverse: Sapa to Ho Chi Minh City by e-MTB
A four-week, roughly 2,200 km e-MTB expedition from Sapa (1,500 m) over the Hoang Lien Son range, through Laos via the Plain of Jars at Phonsavan, the Annamite range, the Bolaven Plateau and Pakse, then Cambodia's Ratanakiri and Mondulkiri to Ho Chi Minh City. Riding 100–150+ km a day, it suits experienced riders looking for a long expedition.
Northwest Vietnam e-MTB Ride (Mu Cang Chai, Son La, Moc Chau)
An e-MTB tour linking the photogenic spots northwest of Hanoi: the Son Tay citadel and the ancient village of Duong Lam, the rolling tea hills of Long Coc, the rice terraces of Mu Cang Chai and the Khau Pha pass, the Pha Din pass, and the ethnic-minority cultures of Son La and Moc Chau. Suitable for anyone with 2+ years of riding experience.
A relaxed resort-style trip staying a week at one hotel on My Khe Beach, riding only until 3 pm each day and leaving time for sightseeing. Rides take in the Da Nang viewpoint, Hoi An, Monkey Mountain, the Hai Van pass and Ba Na Hills; open to anyone who enjoys the trip but some pedalling fitness is needed.
The Ha Giang Loop from Hanoi through Du Gia, Meo Vac, Dong Van, Yen Minh and Tam Son — the 'Tea Horse Road of Vietnam' — past the switchbacks of the Ma Pi Leng gorge, karst peaks, terraced fields and ethnic-minority villages. Early runs were on riders' own MTBs and gravel bikes; from late 2023 it was also offered on rental e-bikes. On an own bike it demands very good fitness.
A resort-style ride staying at one hotel in seaside Nha Trang (5 nights) and one in highland Da Lat (3 nights), riding in the mornings and spending afternoons at the pool, getting massages or watching the sea. Open to anyone who enjoys the trip, but some pedalling fitness is needed.
For my second ride in Vietnam, I headed to the Mu Cang Chai area.
On the first day we visited an old folk village that is still home to its residents.
People live in the old houses and sell goods right out of them.
Unlike the sharp peaks of Ha Giang, the mountains here were gentle and rounded.
The rice terraces cut step by step into the slopes showed how much work went into them.
Ciclista · 2025.12Northwest Vietnam e-MTB Ride (Mu Cang Chai, Son La, Moc Chau)
It was a seven-day loop of about 455 km around Ha Giang on e-bikes.
On an e-bike, the climbs I used to dread turned into beautiful roads.
Calling out "xin chào" to farmers, vendors and kids always brought back a smile.
On day 3 the Khau Coc Cha Pass was dusty and mostly unpaved, but the views kept us stopping.
Dropping from 1,300 m and climbing the switchbacks again, we were deep among sharp peaks.

Nine riders went to Ha Giang with the trip leader for ten days from late October.
Two rode e-bikes rented locally, and the rest of us rode regular MTBs.
On the climbs I was really jealous of the e-bikes powering up.
The course was fantastic, full of thrills and scenery for mountain biking.
Training beforehand is a must, but I was happy the whole way.

Right out of town the climbing began, so I shifted to the easiest gear and went slowly.
On the way to Meo Vac, after lunch the trip leader took us off the busy road onto a narrow singletrack.
The climbs had my thighs burning, but the scenery was great and the narrow descents were fun.
At the top of a road coiled like a spring, the sky and clouds were beautiful.
At a folk-village-style lodge we had a hot pot dinner and swapped stories with the group.
Ciclista · 2023.10Ha Giang Loop Ride, Vietnam
Under clear skies, the day again started with a climb and ended with a big descent.
After a painful climb, the rocky peaks looked as grand as a scene from Jurassic Park.
Around 1,000 m, on a road motorbike tours can't reach, we met children from a minority village.
With 960 m of climbing I was tired, but kept thinking how glad I was to have come.
Ciclista · 2023.10Ha Giang Loop Ride, Vietnam
After pho near Hanoi airport, we took a bus all the way to Ha Giang.
The Ha Giang hotel had good rooms and breakfast; after assembling bikes we did a ~20 km test ride.
The first full day brought endless climbs on muddy, unpaved roads under construction, with some pushing.
The views and cold wind at the summit, then the fast descent, were thrilling.
At a riverside village guesthouse, hearty Korean-friendly food helped us recover.
