Bike hire in Jersey
- Thread starter Beerbaron
- Start date
I ended up hiring an EVie electric bike (basically a Boris bike). I contacted several companies but either got no reply, were completely unhelpful or the bikes were sheds. I completed Route 1 using 2 bikes as the first ran out of power 30 miles round so total cost was only £21 for 42 miles 
. I've never ridden an ebike before but the limiting the speed to 15 mph whilst pedalling was painful as the bike was heavy and steep hill starts were difficult until the assist kicked in. Overall it was a cracking ride with some nice views. Most interesting bit was taking it off road as everything bounced out of my basket and got some strange looks from dog walkers
