How an Electric Bike Works

Join Fran on a self-guided e-biking holiday in Greece as she tries riding an e-bike for the first time. The e-bike is a wonderful way to enjoy our cycling trips without as much of the effort required on a self-powered bike. Need that little extra boost on a hill? No problem! Just press a button and it will give you exactly that as it makes cycling that little bit easier. Watch our video and learn the basics alongside Fran.
Great Glen Cycleway

The Great Glen Cycleway is a four day trip along Scotland's Highland Fault Line, which has created three beautiful lochs, Loch Lochy, Loch Oich and of course Loch Ness. The route follows the same path as the Great Glen Way walking route and for this reason we have noted that this trip needs some Mountainbike experience to navigate your way along.
