7 E-Bike Tours for Families

Love the idea of a cycling tour, but don’t think your leg muscles are up to it? The good news is e-bikes are increasingly available on trips across the globe.

Here are seven bike tours where you can find an electric ride:

E-MTB Safari in Namibia

This new tour from H+I Adventures will take you across sand dunes, along dry streambeds and rocky Jeep tracks, and past shipwrecks and surf on the Skeleton Coast in Namibia. From the saddle of an e-mountain bike, watch for elephants, giraffes, zebras and oryx, and connect with local communities along the way.

The Natchez Trace Path

The Natchez Trace Path, which runs through Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi, was once a Native American trail also used by explorers, trappers and traders, postal workers and Civil War soldiers. Cycle of Life Adventures offers e-bike tours of the path four times a year, putting the otherwise daunting trip within reach for cyclists who need a little help with the daily mileage challenge.
