E-bikes | Electric bikes | Pedelecs

By popular demand, we have now invested in a considerable number of e-bikes, much favoured by cyclists who love the great Outdoors, but prefer to let the bike take the strain. With an electro bike every bike tour is a breeze! The shiftable, low noise electric drive of our modern E-bike relieves you of some of the work and increases the pedal force up to 3 times. Acclivity can be handled easily.

Please note that it is not possible to attach handlebar bags to the newer models of our e-bikes due to the additional fixed speedometers and wider handlebars.

IMPORTANT: please reserve e-bikes early as they are only available in very limited numbers.
