Over the past four 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 individuals or groups wanting to explore the Peak District as you can travel much further, see more and experience a whole new adventure.
Bring your own suitable e-bike or hire one of our own amazing high end full suspension e-bikes.
Our guided adventures are for everyone, we have routes for all ability levels from beginner to advanced. All our routes can be customised dependant on the weather and rider ability but they have all been tested to ensure you get the very best day out and sample some of the best riding in the UK.
Our guided adventures allow groups of riders to enjoy some of the best trails the Peak District has to offer, over 2 days. We arrange the accommodation, e-bike hire and the routes.
You simply turn up and enjoy.
Regardless of your ability or experience all our rides involve familiarisation and brushing up on e-bike specific techniques prior to the ride, all designed around getting the most from an e-bike and understanding the different riding styles required to get the most fun from these amazing bikes..
All our adventures are graded so you know before you book exactly what the route is going to ask of you!
Using a combination of the philosophy used in UK climbing grading, which recognises both how techincal the climb is and ski and trail grading that acknowledges difficulty by colour, our route grading is designed to give you an idea of the skill level and fitness level required to book onto the chosen adventure.
In order to make sure beginners aren’t overwhelmed or put in dangerous situations, and to make sure more experienced riders get the challenge they expect we’ve introduced the grading system, It might seem a little overkill but we want to ensure all riders on the day get to ride with shredders of similar experience and skill.
You can click on the grading icons at anytime to see how that experience or adventure is graded.
These are just a small number of routes just to wet your appetite!
