Fabulous Hassle-Free Peak District E-Biking!

Ever fancied discovering the Peak District by bike, but not had the confidence, the route knowledge or maybe the fitness levels to enable you to do so? With PeakEPedals you can enjoy everything the Peak District has to offer on their fabulous e-bikes, which have a battery and a small motor, enabling you to choose as and when you need a little assistance, meaning you don’t need to be fit – but they help you get fitter!

PeakEPedals have a great variety of tours available, with a range of difficulty levels, duration and tailored themes, taking you down hidden trails, quiet country lanes and popular cycling routes to uncover the best countryside views, villages, attractions, pubs, cafes and historic sites. All this with the convenience of your chosen route programmed to a Garmin Sat Nav, which is fixed to your handle bars, providing easy to follow routes, just as you would in your car. Or, you can be accompanied by your very own tour guide!

One of the main benefits of taking a tour with PeakEPedals is that they provide tours rather than just rent you a bike and point you in the right direction. With their helpful and detailed digital or paper instructions, their carefully planned tours can all be self-guided or, if you prefer, one of their team can come with you on the journey adding a bit of local knowledge and culture to your e-bike adventure.

They have more than 50 self-guided or guided e-bike tours available every day, from 90 minutes to 6 hours, leaving from multiple locations and covering all the best areas of the Peak District.

What is Countryside E-Biking?

Countryside e-biking is the new and easy way to explore the great outdoors and its suitable for all levels of fitness and cycling experience, meaning everyone over the age of 14 can enjoy it. (Age limit due to insurance of powered bike.)

Each of the e-bikes at PeakEPedals have a battery and a small motor to provide extra assistance when needed, for example when climbing hills or to enable you to cruise the lanes with less effort. You can decide when to turn the power assistance up or down to suit your needs, enabling you to get a workout if you want one and giving you the opportunity to cycle longer distances than you may have done on a push bike.

E-biking will help you discover the breathtaking Peak District like never before, taking away the hassle of route planning and organisation, as PeakEPedals take care of everything for you. Their self-guided or guided tours enable you to immerse yourself in the stunning scenery, as you enjoy their tailor-made routes that will lead you to iconic landmarks and hidden gems, whilst supporting local businesses with rewarding stop-offs at small shops, cafes and pubs.

Tours For All Fitness Levels

PeakEPedals have two main cycling hubs at Winster and Ambergate, as well as several remote starting points where the e-bikes will be waiting for you. The e-bikes can even be brought to you if you’d like your tour to start from your accommodation, and they can arrange a bike collection if your chosen route is not circular. At the starting point, the helpful guides will treat you to a coffee and give you a detailed briefing, so you’ll be all set to hit the saddle!

There’s a PeakEPedals tour to suit everyone, all thoughtfully categorised to help choose the perfect route for you. There are more than 40 standard tours which are graded by difficulty and each one can be self-guided or guided and can be booked online with as little as 24 hours’ notice.

Difficulty Levels

Beginner Tours: These two-hour taster tours are a great way to introduce you to e-biking before you book a full tour, also perfect for those who haven’t cycled for a while. Most people love it, so afterwards you’ll be offered 10% discount off a full price tour!

Easy Tours: These are great for those who enjoy riding a bike but don’t like the idea of challenging terrain and hills. These routes will include hills but the e-bike will do all the hard work for you, so you can enjoy your three or six hour cycle at your leisure!

Intermediate Tours: These tours are still fine for non-cyclists, but some parts of the tour have slightly more challenging terrain and are a great way to get to explore the beauty of the Peak District.

Advanced Tours: These are the most advanced of the PeakEPedals tours, taking you to some beautiful parts of the Peak District, featuring more challenging paths and off-road areas, designed for more confident cyclists.

Multi Activity Tours: Why not take an e-bike tour to enjoy a different Peak District attraction, such as white water rafting, kayaking, museum tours, or even a trip on a steam railway?! This is a great way to spend a day with friends, or maybe a hen or stag event. Where required, PeakEPedals include the cost of taxi ride back to your car or accommodation.

Custom Tours: If you want to fill a couple of days exploring the Peak District in specific areas, then PeakEPedals can put together an entirely bespoke tour for you. You can choose places you want to see, difficulty and duration, self-guided or guided, and even what food stops you want to make. Let them know your preferences and they will create your perfect tour!

Duration

The Beginner Tours usually last a couple of hours to get you accustomed to the e-bike, and the Easy Tours offering a mix of half day or full day sessions. The half day sessions tend to run twice a day at 10am and 2pm and can all be booked online.

However, to get the best possible experience of an e-bike tour of the Peak District, the full-day tours are recommended. Typically a 6 hour tour will involve around 4 hours biking with a further 2 hours reserved for you to stop, rest, have refreshments and explore the area.
