The superb eBikes - electrically assisted bikes - are lightweight, highly adjustable, and safe as you can easily put your feet down on the ground. The powerful assist engine boosts your pedalling, turning the steepest hills into a doddle! You still need a basic/medium fitness (this is a bike, not a scooter) as you need to pedal for the assistance to kick in and the weight limit of the eBikes is 120 kg/265 lbs. If you want a challenge, you can always turn the assistance off!

Due to the size of the eBikes, you'll need to be over 145cm or 4ft 9 inches to ensure the bikes fit you correctly. These tours are not suitable for children under the age of 12.

Visitor comments

"We had a fantastic time with Thelma. She has lived in Nice for over 13 years and was very knowledgable and friendly. She was also very flexible and sought our input as to what we would like to see and hear about. The electric bikes were a real bonus on the big hills! Highly recommended!!" - Trip Advisor
"The Nice Cycle tour was the highlight of my trip, we toured 3 to 4 countryside towns in about 5 hours. Our tour guide was amazing, so knowledgeable and personable. There is no better way to see NICE then on two wheels with the wind blowing in your hair. It rained the entire time but we made the best of it, stopping at gorgeous cafes along the way to dry off. Halfway through the trip we stopped at an amazing water front restaurant for lunch, everything was so delicious. The NICE cycle tours is a must do when in NICE." - Trip Advisor
"My wife, 2 year old daughter and I had a great time. The weather was not great the day we booked and Thelma was kind enough to reschedule us to a Sunday which is not even a day she typically gives tours. So starting off we were impressed with her flexibility. I was given an e-bike which helped quite a bit since I had my 2 year old on my bike. Heads up the climb for Castle Hill is pretty steep so if you think you may have issues, I would recommend asking for an e bike. We were impressed with the city. Thelma was so very nice and was so great with our daughter. Guiding 5 people around the city is enough to deal with but entertaining a 2 year old while doing it is even more impressive. Definitely recommend taking this tour." - Trip Advisor
"It was a sunny Sunday, and the company boss Gustave, took our trip. The bikes were completely fab and so easy to cycle for everyone. The small electrical motor assistance makes it so easy even on the steepest hill. Gustave looked after everyone and had lots of funny and outrageous stories to tell about the rich and famous. I so highly recommend this to everyone." - Trip Advisor
