Take a ride on the Island Solar Pedal Bus throughout downtown Halifax to visit some of Nova Scotia's finest restaurants, pubs, distilleries, and most scenic historic venues! 

The FIRST pedal bus tour in Atlantic Canada (along with Charlottetown, PEI), Ride Solar's unique tour offers up to 18 passengers an opportunity to pedal your way to various pubs, restaurants, and unique sight-seeing/historic locations in the birthplace of Canada.

This four wheeled "bike" is powered by up to 12 people pedaling (minimum of 8 required to move the bike) with additional seating for a total of 18 passengers and has an electric assist motor to make it very easy to pedal.

We can even accommodate one wheelchair!

The power to the electric assist motor, all instrumentation, lights & sound system are powered by 1.2kW of solar panels on the roof.

Our pedal bus is SAFE.  It is CE approved, legal to be driven on the roads, moves at slow speeds, has a grab bar to hold, and every seat has a seatbelt for safety.  Passengers may be required to wear helmets supplied by Ride Solar at no extra cost.  The bar (table) height is also adjustable to suit the best height for the passengers.

Green, clean, fun, & safe - just like Nova Scotia!
