Health & Safety

 

Electric bicycles or eBikes are more popular than ever, with older riders driving much of the demand. 

Many cycling brands and industry leaders have proposed eBikes as a way to make cycling more accessible to more people in general such as the elderly and those with disabilities, to car-free households in urban environments, and to anyone who might hesitate to hop on a conventional bike.

All ages and fitness levels are now able to ride a bicycle and enjoy the outdoors and experience nature at its best.

No need to be fit although this will help on the more extreme rides. The electrically assisted pedals make uphill cycling a breeze, you still have to pedal but without the sweat.

Previous cycling experience also just makes eBiking that much more pleasurable. If you can ride a bicycle you can ride an eBike.

eBikes can be an expensive investment and this is the reason our tours allow others to experience and enjoy the outdoors from a refreshingly new spin on cycling and mountain biking.  Here to accommodate people from all walks of life.
