Fun morning on e-bikes - Ollie and Paul were able to accommodate our last minute request and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. E-bikes were great and the GPS system for trail finding worked perfectly. Recommended!

Thank you again for a fab day and highly recommended experience.

Southern E Bike Rentals - Great Quality Bikes / Fantastic Customer Service - 1st time but explained everything very well and were in no rush.

We were slightly nervous not being overly ‘bike fit’ but Paul at the hire centre was super... read more helpful and reassured us that his suggested route would suit our ability and the type of biking experience we wanted.

Brilliant afternoon’s entertainment, great set up - What a fantastic afternoon we have just had. My daughter was slightly reluctant to join me riding but ended up having a brilliant time. Having wizzed up the first hill... read more on her immaculate Whyte bike she was grinning from ear to ear and suggested I buy her one for her birthday (no chance, we’ll rent instead)!
Paul and his team couldn’t have looked after us any better. The bike was completely ready to go as we arrived and his instruction was perfectly pitched for my daughter.
Money very well spent, we will regularly be back.

Excellent service and help! - Puncture nearly ruined my ride ... Not to worry, as they had it fixed in minutes. Specialist equipment, knowledge and advice came in very handy.
18 February 2023Excellent experience and great advice and communication with Paul at southern ebikes at Queen Elizabeth Country Park
16 February 2023Great location, great bike rental company. - Myself and three friends hired ebikes for a few hours to try out the fantastic routes in Queen Elizabeth Country Park.
We arrived on time, the bikes were all... read more ready and waiting. Paul showed us how to use them, and sorted out a route for us based on what we were looking for; a hybrid scenic route with some proper scrambling (if that's the right word). Paul was very friendly, gave us some advice and provided helmets to those of us that didn't have them, as well as a repair kit in case we needed it.
The bikes themselves are top-of-the-range, with some serious power when required. Comfortable to ride and well suited for some of the more demanding sections we encountered. I imagine these would suit all abilities, you can adjust power as and when you need it.
All in all a fantastic morning. Thanks Paul!
