E-Bike Cycling Holidays

With our electric bikes, you can enjoy cycling with newfound freedom. They are really fun to use and open up new route possibilities particularly if the route profile is hilly or has longer distances to cover. They are so popular with cycling holiday customers and have revolutionised cycle tourism in recent years.

You do not need a driving licence to use an e-bike and the electric bike can support you up to 25 km per hour. The operation itself is simple and the e-bike is easy to drive by anyone after a short explanation by one of our team. An LED screen gives detailed information about the battery status, the mode used and the total distance covered during the day.

All of our cycle tours have electric bikes as an optional upgrade. You can find out more about our E-Bike cycling holidays here.
