Outing Highlights
Retro e‑bikes built for comfort and distance
Stylish e‑bikes with fat tyres and wide seats offer five levels of pedal assist for an easy, cheeky boost on hills; on a full charge they comfortably cover multiple tens of miles per outing.
Options that suit different family setups
Jaunt E‑Bikes provides family‑friendly choices — child seats, pillion options and a selection of non‑motorised bikes — so groups with younger riders can still join the ride.
A launchpad for New Forest coastal tracks and trails
The hire point sits adjacent to miles of off‑road New Forest coastal tracks and trails, giving riders immediate access to gravel tracks, forest lanes and seaside stretches.
What the day feels like
What the half‑day feels like
This is a short, self‑directed e‑bike escape: three hours of hire designed for leisure that you shape yourself. After a briefing and familiarisation you set off, using the bikes’ pedal‑assist levels to manage gradients and distance, sampling coastal tracks and quiet forest lanes before returning when your hire period ends.

Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
Can I hire the bikes overnight or book consecutive days?
Overnight hire is possible but only with prior agreement — please contact the operator before booking consecutive days.
How does the electric assist work? Do I have to pedal?
These are pedal‑assist e‑bikes: you must pedal for the motor to engage. Assistance is selectable from levels 1 to 5 and you can use the normal gears as required.
What battery range can I expect?
Battery range varies with terrain and rider weight; expect between 20–30 miles depending on conditions.
What happens if I run low on battery mid‑ride?
Keep an eye on battery use and adjust your route if needed; routes are curated to suit the bikes’ battery range.
Do you cater for children under 14 or provide non‑motorised bikes?
Yes — under‑14s cannot ride e‑bikes; the operator offers child seats (ages 1–4), pillion options (ages 4–10) and a selection of non‑motorised kids’ hybrid and mountain bikes.
Can I buy a bike from the operator?
Yes — the operator can discuss purchase options and may offer discount codes; ex‑hire fleet bikes are sometimes sold at season end.
