We all love a good walk in the UK’s beautiful countryside, but how about travelling by two wheels instead of two legs this summer and hiring an e-bike to explore the landscape?

What is an e-bike?

It’s an electric bicycle that can be simultaneously powered by electricity as well as propelled by pedals, making cycling a whole lot easier. They add a boost of power to a rider’s pedalling, allowing them to maintain speed or sail up large hills with ease.

Scott Snaith, owner of e-bike retailer 50cycles, said: “Whether it is on road or path, or through woodland or along coast, e-bikes have opened up a whole new world of excitement and adventure for all.”

To make the most of these trendy cycles, Scott has revealed some of the best places in the UK to hire e-bikes to help explore the wonderful British countryside.
