Electric bikes

Love cycling but find hills a struggle? There are electric bikes for hire around the National Park. They give a great boost to your ride, making light work of hills and headwinds.

If you run out of battery or need a top-up, you can pop by one of the Electric Bike Network charge points at tourist attractions and cafes and restaurants.
