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.
