Over the past 2 years we’ve seen a massive change in the attitude towards e-bikes and people now are recognising their purpose and as their own individual discipline. We’ve seen a lot of ‘nay-sayers’ now fully embrace them, now they see them for what they are… FUN! Isn’t that they idea behind any sport? These are perfect for any group wanting to try something a bit different.
Our guided adventures allow groups of riders with mid to high ability levels enjoy a day out on some of the best trails the Peak District has to offer. Our adventures are more of a journey and take in more of the technical terrain the Peak District has to offer.
Our guided experiences are more aimed at beginner to intermediate abilities. The experiences will give you a good taster of what ebiking is all about. Never designed to take you out of your comfort zone, but allowing you progress at your own pace and as your confidence grows, tackle more challenging terrain.
Regardless of your ability or experience all our rides involve familiarisation and brushing up on e-bike specific skills, designed around getting the most from an e-bike and understand the different riding styles required to get the most fun from these amazing bikes

Building up speed on a number of fast corners with tricky gullies theres a brief rest before it starts over again with a run down a rock and root strewn track.

The bars signify the physical difficulty in climbing or distance, as we offer e-bike adventures the route will be as challenging technically but will be easier on a fitness level as you’ll be assisted.
1 Bar: Physically easy, generally flat routes with the potential for rolling terrain. Less than 500 meters climbing distance varies between 10-15km
2 Bars: A slight increase in difficulty than that of a 1 bar route, possibility of additional climbing with a duration between 1-2 hours
3 Bars: Much harder, a route graded with 3 bars will be good undertaking. Expect between 2-5 hours out on the bike depending on route and between 800-1500m of climbing
4 Bars: The HARDEST routes we have in the Peaks. You’ll be climbing over 1500 meters and will be out between 4-8 hours depending on the route.
