Due to the varied terrain and conditions we encounter on the trip - gravel roads, paved tracks, forest trails and bridges - we use cross-terrain mountain e-bikes with semi-slick tires - safe and comfortable off-road. We have a dedicated fleet of quality cross-terrain touring e-bikes for this trip. Please be aware although we don’t do any mountain biking on the trip, we do ride on gravel and roughly paved sections of road, so road bikes with skinny tires are not suitable for use.
Specifically, we most commonly use the Specialized Roll E-Bike, an excellent lightweight, cross-terrain e-bike with great flexibility. To view the e-bike, you can check it out here: activeadventures.com/our-bikes-and-cycling-gear
As many cyclists prefer the familiarity of their own bikes, you’re also welcome to bring your own ride and we will help you assemble it at the start of the trip. It goes without saying our guides are seasoned bike mechanics, so we’ll deal with any minor issues you may have as we go. If you want to bring your own bike with you that’s absolutely fine, just please ensure it will be suitable for the type of rides we do.
Additionally if you want to bring your own cycling gear such as cycling shoes, pedals, helmet or seat (no seat stems please!) we’d be happy to help fit them for you - note; if you’re bringing your own shoes please also bring your own pedals, to be sure they match! All bikes come supplied with the following equipment: safety vests, rear rack and rack bag, a water bottle cage, flat pedals, helmets (small/ medium/large/XL) and water bottles - we provide one for you, though we don’t provide electrolytes.
