FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

We supply the bike with a fully charged battery and the distance you can ride on that charge is dependent on many factors including the level of assistance you choose, the gradient of the trail, the amount you input yourself, your weight, your kit & clothing weight, tyre pressure, the trail surface you are riding oN, pedal cadence, the list goes on. SEE THE RANGE CALCULATORS FOR MORE INFORMATION.

In the UK, e-bikes (known legally as motor assisted pedal cycles or Pedelecs) are restricted to 250 watts motor power or 15.5 mph. You can still travel faster but at greater speeds the motor will stop providing assistance.

The bikes do not have a throttle, instead they provide assistance to enhance any pedalling you do. The amount of assistance can be varied by a simple push button control on the handlebar which allows the rider to cycle through the available power assistance modes.

Some of our bikes feature a walk assist, this is a feature designed to help move the bike up a steep incline when you are dismounted. With walk-assist engaged the bike will propel itself forward without any pedalling at a slow walking pace allowing the bike to be more easily walked up steep slopes.

Yes. All our e-bikes have gears like any normal mountain bike and these are used together with the power assistance level control to manage the pedal input required to achieve the desired propulsion. The assistance level is controlled by a simple “+/-” button on the bars that will cycle through the available modes/levels of assistance.

We give you a full charge, HOWEVER, the time & distance a charge will last is dependent on many factors (see ‘How far can I ride?’ above). Once the charge is exhausted the bike will continue to function as a regular mountain bike would, although without providing any pedal assistance, so it is possible to get home, although it is likely that riding will feel a lot more challenging.

TheRe is additional weight from the motor and battery units and the bikes also need to be strengthened to cope with the additional loads so they are heavier than a non assisted BIKE. despite that, because of the assistance once you are riding you don’t notice the weight. the BIKES are well balanced so they handle much the same as a standard BIKE. It can take a little time to adjust but most people acclimatise quickly.

You need to be 18+ to rent our bikes and 14+ to ride them. SO A CHILD AGED 14+ CAN USE ONE OF OUR E-BIKES PROVIDED an adult is responsible for the hire.

Yes. Our staff will run through the essentials of using the assisted bike. They will go through the power modes, visual display and walk assist (if applicable) and tell you what you can expect from your ride.
