Friends & Family

Each location has four electric bikes, so you can go for a solo cycle or up to four of you. Legally, you must be over 14 to ride an electric bike, so for families that want to go for a cycle with younger ones – how about bringing along their own bikes and see if they can keep up with you?!

Experience The Outdoors

You are spoilt for choice in Aberdeenshire – which backdrop will you choose to cycle in? The coastal beach in Fraserburgh, riverside paths in Ellon, rolling countryside surrounding Mintlaw, or the busy fishing harbour of Peterhead?

WHY eBIKE?

An electric bicycle is a bike fitted with an electric motor and a battery, giving you assistance as you pedal. This means you can cycle uphill as if it were flat, or cycle further distances before getting tired.

OUR E-BIKES

They are straightforward to use with step through frames making them easy to mount, and up to 135 miles on a single charge.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Cycling can reduce the risk of serious illness, help you maintain a healthy weight and boost your mental wellbeing.

The Formartine & Buchan Way provides off-road cycling for the majority of the route, so it is a great place to build your confidence in a traffic-free setting.
