Why e-bikes?

We’ve chosen e-bikes for this adventure due to their huge advantages as an ideal leveller, enabling families and friends to enjoy the mountains together with varying fitness levels. On a panoramic route, e-bikes can open up a much greater range with less overall physical strain.  Due to these huge benefits e-biking has seen a massive increase in popularity here in the Alps and has turned out to become a revered piece of equipment for mountain lovers. For the downhill, e-bikes are now also very well equipped with full suspension for steeper single tracks providing great stability and fun on the way down. The sheer joy and exhilaration of mountain biking adventures can now be experienced by people from all walks of life, without the physical slog. The electric power allows you to have power on demand, so you choose the level of assistance that you’d like to have. You can choose to paddle hard – saving some “e” to increase your fitness workout or paddle light and relax in steeper terrain, use some “e” and enjoy the scenery.
