Electric Bike Tours: Exploring The World Differently

Electric bike tours, or e-bike tours, are a great way to explore a new place, offering cyclists a welcome power boost. They are perfect for those who don't have the fitness level or confidence to take on a cycling tour's daily rides, as they provide power-on-demand while you're pedalling, responding to and complementing your pedalling speed and power. You can rent an e-bike and choose your own pace, allowing you to focus on the adventure and the beauty around you. Electric touring bikes are designed with good battery range, adaptability, and comfort in mind, making longer rides more accessible.

Electric bike tours offer cyclists a power boost, making longer rides more accessible

You can buy electric touring bikes designed for on- and off-road riding. Many off-road tourers will have front suspension as a minimum, and you’ll also often find wider, knobbly tyres to tackle the terrain and a mid-drive motor to boot. The electric all-rounder is equipped with a fork with 100 millimetres of suspension travel. This increases the bike's contact with the ground and guarantees comfort while riding regardless of whether the terrain is easy or rough.

With an electric bike, you can choose your pace and have more flexibility to focus on the adventure and the beauty around you. Shortcuts become your adventures, and the electric bike is your perfect companion on old and new paths.
