What Can I Expect
Ebike tours of Kent - leave the car behind and explore on two wheels! This selection of self-guided half and full-day tours will see you pedalling (with ease) around some of the loveliest parts of the Garden of England.
There's no denying Ebikes have changed the way we ride. Assistance from the electric motor makes pedalling up those Kentish hills a doddle. And you can cruise nearly effortlessly along those country cycleways, covering more distance for less effort.
Sounds good? Well, these Ebikes are ready and waiting for you at Headcorn Aerodrome. Owners Marcus and Warren have a fleet of high-quality, well-maintained cycles for you. They take huge pride in their work and their local knowledge means they have devised fab itineraries for you to choose from.
There are various tour routes you can follow that are suitable for half or full-day rides out. You will receive printed route guides that helpfully include photos at junction points, so you can't go wrong. There is also the option to use the App on your smartphone - and all bikes have phone holders fitted.
Being the Garden of England, no Kent Ebike tour would be complete without the chance to visit places where the plants and flowers grow. If you're a National Trust member, make sure you bring your card with you to get your free entry.
Kent is also well-known for its vineyards. The most popular tours take in famous wineries such Chapel Down, Biddenden and Hush Heath Estate. And (we love this!) your bike is fitted with panniers, so if you succumb to temptation in the vineyard shop, you can pedal your wares back!
All tours start and end at the Ebike company's base at Headcorn Aerodrome, where there is ample parking for leaving your car, a cafe and toilets. Buy your EBike tour vouchers to explore Kent by pedal (and electric) power!
