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

Preparing for eBike Tours

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 also recommend you have some sunscreen available and do not wear trainers with deep grooves

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

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

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 photo opportunities

08

Review Tour Tips

We have created some useful guidance to help make sure you have a safe and enjoyable tour. Please review these before your tour 

​

  • ​Safe Cycling Guidelines & Tips

  • Using the Sat Nav

  • Battery Management 

​

Colder Conditions 

We operate eBike tours all year round and some of the best views & tours can be on colder Spring, Autumn & Winter days so it is important to consider the following additional points when preparing for your tour. 

​

  • You will need gloves with grip - you can purchase from us if needed​

  • You will need to bring extra layers - wind chill on a bike does mean going down hills it will be colder - clothing can be stored in the eBike panniers

  • Bring a muff or scarf as heat escapes from around your neck

  • Bring some waterproofs getting wet could spoil your day

  • Double check refreshment stop opening times they can vary out of season
