Preparing for Your Tour
Once you have booked your tour you will recieve an email to help you prepare for your tour. We will also send a more detailed overview of your route, refreshments options and meeting place details. You can rest assured we will check your eBike before the tour & detailed below is some additional information to help with your preparation
01
What to Wear
You do not need to have specialist cycling clothing to come on one of our tours but you do need comfortable practical clothing suitable for the weather conditions that will not get caught in the eBike. Outdoor and other sports clothing is ideal. We recommend you have some sunscreen available
02
What Time to Arrive
We suggest you arrive 30 minutes earlier than the published departure time for your tour so we can buy you a cup of coffee and walk you through your tour route details, provide a safety briefing and demonstrate eBike usage before your adventure starts
03
Review Navigation
Once you have booked we will send the detailed directions for your tour. We suggest you review and see if you have any particular questions for us before you start. We also supply you with a fully charged Bike Sat Nav with your tour pre-loaded, route overview & OS Map in case of any issues.
04
Safety & Emergencies
eBiking is pretty safe but it is always best to be prepared and you must wear the high spec cycling helmet provided. We also provide a HiViz vest in your pannier and an emergency helpline number you can call if any issues arise during your tour. Our full Risk Assessment is available for review click here
05
Think About Food Stops
We will provide you some refreshment (and comfort) stop options as part of your emailed tour pack so it is worth having a think about stops during your tour. Packed lunches can also be provided if you would like to organise for you. We sell water bottles or you can bring your own for the bottle holder
06
What Else is Provided?

07
What Else You Might Need
There are a few other things you might need on your tour some of which we stock & you can buy from us
-
Water Bottle​ - the water bottle cages only fit a 500ml bottle so you can either put bigger ones in the panniers or buy an Eco bottle from us (nobody really wants a used one)
-
Cycling Gloves - not essential unless you come on a colder day but padded ones make life more comfortable
-
Don't forget your camera either - there will be some great photos
