Fully charged dual suspension e-bikes with 630wh batteries, helmets, and your choice of flat or SPD pedals are supplied. A live English-speaking guide leads the ride and captures a short video of your session. Rides range from 1.5 to 4 hours depending on the trail and your preference.

The experience

How do you ride the Boland's best trails without the fitness barrier of a regular mountain bike? The e-bikes here have full-sized motors and 630wh batteries that let you tackle terrain you'd otherwise skip, so the focus stays on the ride itself rather than the climb. The guide handles the route, paces the group, and knows which sections let you feel the trail and which ones you'll want the motor for.

The small group size, three riders maximum, means the guide can watch the line each person takes, adjust the pace if someone needs it, and stop for the moments worth stopping for. You choose between flat pedals and SPD pedals before you start, and helmets are included. The bikes arrive fully charged and ready to go.

At the end, the guide makes a short video clip of the ride so you have something to take away besides the memory. Pickup is included, and the minimum age is 16.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the difference between the flat pedals and SPD pedals I can choose?

Flat pedals let your feet move freely on the pedal and are easier to step off quickly. SPD pedals clip your shoes in for a more connected pedal stroke. Choose flat pedals if you're new to clipless systems or prefer the option to bail out fast, and SPD if you ride with clip-in shoes already.

How long does a typical ride in the Boland take?

Rides range from 1.5 to 4 hours depending on which trail you choose and how much time you want to spend on the terrain. Your guide will help you pick the right length when you book.

Do I need mountain biking experience to join?

The rides are suitable for all physical fitness levels, and the e-motor handles a lot of the work that would normally demand fitness. The guide will match the trail to your comfort level and the group's pace.

What happens if I'm not comfortable on a particular section of trail?

The guide leads the group and can adjust the route or pace based on how everyone is riding. With only three riders, there's room to take a different line or walk a section if you need to.

Is the video clip the guide makes something I can share?

Yes, the guide captures a short video of your ride that you can take away and share however you'd like.
