Our rides run throughout the week, we are unable to conduct the Taster Sessions on a weekend due to the Peaks being extremely busy and not suitable for beginners getting familiar with an ebike.
Due to differences in ability we only allow integration of children over 14 on ebikes when its a private booking.
