My husband and I love exploring places by bike or foot - the advantage of cycling is that you can cover more ground but still engage all the senses! We could not only appreciate the sights but smell the countryside and were accompanied the whole time by the sound of birdsong. We used our sense of taste at the winery,... More

Last Sunday a group of 7 of us - mixed ages and abilities- hired electric bikes to explore this beautiful part of the country. It's pretty hilly around here so the electric bit made it so much more do able (even if we had to put up with the odd sarcastic jibe from the Lycra brigade as they sped past... More

So at last May 9th arrived and after a short drive from Lyme Regis Me and my partner arrived at the Hive Beach Café, on a very windy morning to find Martin in the corner being blown over assembling the bikes. Martin was very welcoming and after a few instructions we were off doing a couple of laps to get... More

If you want to explore Dorset in a time-efficient manner, look no further. Martin is a knowledgable guide who provides exceptionally personal service. The electrical bikes are easy to control and propel in all terrains. With a 3-hour bike ride, you can absorb most of the Dorset landscapes. Thanks Martin for a wonderful time! C&M

We are not cyclists, but we discovered a great new way of experiencing the countryside without being in a car or riding a motorbike or walking (which would be nice, but take a long time to get to places, ....and back). The electric bike experience gives inependence to each rider, and makes you feel you wave to work to get... More

We're not what you'd call regular cyclists so something about the extra 'electric' help appealed in dealing with the rolling Dorset hills! Martin was an excellent guide and we had such a great morning exploring the beautiful countryside. Stunning scenery and the bikes were really easy to manage. If you're in this part of the country and fancy trying a... More

Hi Chloe, thanks so much for your generous review. It was great to have the opportunity to show you and Anthony the Marshwood Vale, one of my favourite parts of West Dorset. There are so many great views and places of interest, and I may be biased but there's no better way to experience the vale than by electric bike.... More

This was my first "go" on an electric bike. It was the same for us all in oursmall group, greeted on a frosty, but brilliantly sunny morning by Martin, the owner and tour leader at his home with fabulous views over the Marshwood Vale. We found it quick and easy to master the simple electric bike controls. Martin looked out... More

We hired Martin for an electric bike tour of Portland. It was a beautiful day, sun was shining. Martin showed us loads of interesting spots including a pirate graveyard! The bikes were fun to ride and Martin was very knowledgeable on the surrounding geography and history. We would never have learnt our seen so much doing this ourselves. The electric... More

Enjoyed tour of Marshwood Vale on electric bikes, with partner, brother and sister-in-law. The sun even came out despite all the recent rain! It's a great feeling on a steep uphill when you turn up the "assistance" to high and the bike surges forward despite only light pedalling. Had a good coffee break at garden table at the Bottle Inn,... More

Being transported through breathtaking countryside in a way which let the years roll away was both liberating and exhilerating. Well done Martin for providing such a superb therapy! Envious friends will be sure to follow suit. Thank you.
