E-bikes (electric bikes) are revolutionising cycling holidays, making it easier than ever to explore stunning landscapes without breaking a sweat, unless you want to! With a built-in motor providing a helpful boost, especially on challenging hills and longer routes, e-bikes let you ride further and enjoy more of your surroundings with less effort.
Unlike motorcycles, e-bikes still require pedalling, so you’ll get a great workout while enjoying the journey. In fact, studies across seven European countries show that e-bikers stay more active, cycle more frequently, and tackle longer routes than those on traditional bikes. Plus, depending on the power setting, you can burn up to 390 calories per hour, all while soaking up the incredible scenery!
At Freewheel Holidays, we’re passionate about making cycling accessible for everyone, and our e-bike holidays are designed to help you experience the best of Europe with ease. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist looking to cover more ground, recovering from an injury, or just starting out, an e-bike is your ticket to an unforgettable adventure.
Did you know? E-bikes are eco-friendly and require no special charging stations, just a standard power socket. So, you can top up the battery while enjoying a coffee break at a charming local café!
Even better, no licence is required to ride an e-bike in most destinations, making them an easy, hassle-free choice for your next trip. Of course, it’s always good to check local regulations, but rest assured, you can book an e-bike on any of our Freewheel tours.
