Dyker Heights Christmas Lights eBike Tour

Holiday Cheer in NYC

The holiday spirit in NYC is truly contagious, especially when you see the city’s dazzling decorations. This eBike tour takes you to Dyker Heights in Brooklyn, home to some of the most spectacular Christmas displays in all of New York City. Experience the magic of the holidays in a whole new way—without worrying about parking, traffic, or long walks.

Our adventure begins at Hudson Yards, where we hop on our eBikes and ride to a nearby ferry terminal. From there, we cruise down the Hudson River and New York Harbor, enjoying breathtaking views of the Statue of Liberty at sunset, before arriving at Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

Next, we ride about 20 minutes to Dyker Heights, where the fun really begins. Unlike most visitors who stick to the 2 main streets, we zig-zag through the entire neighborhood, taking in every beautifully decorated home and dazzling light display. On this tour, you’ll see Dyker Heights like never before—magical, festive, and completely unforgettable
