Franschhoek Electric Bike Wine Tour

My wife and I have been bikers for years but this was our first experience of an E-Bike - and it won't be our last. What a pleasure to cycle the off roads and paths around some of the beautiful wine farms of the district whilst working up a thirst but not a sweat! We stopped at two wineries for tastings (not too much!) before returning to Franschhoek. Our guide Nick was excellent and informative.

Brilliant trip so much better than the tram that we did following day. Tram is good but boozy whilst the e bikes feel more sporty and more interactive with fellow e bikers.

This was a very enjoyable trip. We met our guide with the bikes and he gave us a quick safety brief and showed us how the bikes worked especially the way you switch to the assisted E system This helps a lot when you feel you are going off road and you need assistance to keep up with the fitter & younger cyclists. Easy to use and a pleasure to ride I felt safe being in a group of 6. We used a mix of normal roads keeping to the inside of the road in some cases the area was lined for safety. Then off road which could be bumpy but with the big tyres we hardly felt it. Our guide gave us choices of wine tastings but we did feel he had his favourites. Although he didn’t drink wine only coffee. He let us enjoy the tastings which were great value. We covered around 10 to 12 Kilometers and it was so satisfying when we got back to our start point. My bike just lost its power a mile or so out but my son swapped bikes so I could make the last mile which did have a few gradients. Altogether a great trip which I would gladly recommend to everyone .

Very helpful as we were in a bit of a muddle re accommodation. We received the best care and we probably would like to do it again if we come back to Franschhoek.
