Everybody knows that E bikes are a major part in the future of cycling. People used to say it wasn’t proper cycling, it was cheating but as they have become more common and easily accessible to a wider community those previous critics have been silenced.
We have always seen how popular they are via our cycle hire demands, so we’ve expanded with the growth of E Bikes to keep up with the demand and growing technology around them. Running a popular hire centre as well as a retail shop we have really seen the rate of which they have grown! We now run a total of 40 E Bikes in our hire fleet along with 70% of our retail sales being E bikes.
£2,799 to Buy / £50 to Rent
This E Bike is the main model that we run in the fleet, we have been using this model since 2017 and just updated them each year when the new one is released. They are hard wearing, reliable and a lot of fun! What more do you want from an electric hardtail mountain bike. These are available to take out into the forest for the day to really see what they can do.

This E Bike is the main comfort bike that we run in our fleet, we have been using this model since 2017 and just updated them each year when the new one is released. They are hard wearing, reliable and very comfortable across washboard gravel tracks. They are such versatile bikes that are made to suit any rider with their different frame shapes. These are available to hire out for a day and really see how comfortably you can cruise around the New Forest.
£3,699 to Buy (Special Offer £3299)
These have been the go to full suspension E bikes for us and pretty much most other shops for the last few years. Compared to the competition they have been one of the best for value for money with regards to the Bosch Electrics, components and carbon frame. A lot of companies have struggled to match them so these truly are a great option if you are looking to get into the E bike scene.

This is exciting, we have introduced this monster into our demo fleet for anyone to come and take out for the day. This is one of Giants full carbon fibre downhill lightweight E Bikes. They come with a full power Giant Syncdrive motor but only a 400Wh battery to keep the weight down but the miles high. These are a riot on the tracks and will be well worth taking out for the day to see how much you truly need one.

Marin have just dropped their prices making their Rift Zone E bikes very very competitive. So brand new for this year we are now stocking the top model that they offer. This thing is a serious machine! Coming with the Shimano 85Nm motor, Lyrik Ultimate 150mm forks all partnered with Sram GX AXS drivetrain and AXS dropper there really isn't much else you could want on this bike.
Over the last few years we have been very tunnel visioned with most of our E bikes being Cube. This was a for mixture of reasons and not a bad thing at all as Cube have been consistently producing high quality E bikes, fitted with the latest Bosch technology year after year. We will always stock Cube E bikes due to their extensive range and great prices but this year we have had the opportunity to expand and get some different brands in, including a couple that will be available to demo.
Brand new to New Forest Cycling this year from Marin is the Marin Rift Zone E XR which will be the centerpiece of our shop floor E bike selection. Coming in at £5,799 it is at the top of the price range that we offer but the reason this bike caught our eye was the fact it came with full AXS. To get a bike under £6k that has brand new SRAM GX AXS and RockShox AXS dropper post it was a no brainer to get it ordered in and have it in our armoury.
Most excitingly we now have two Giant E bikes that are going to be available to demo after a lot of interest from
customers asking for full suspension E bikes to be able to take out for the day. These are some of Giant’s top level E bikes so getting to demo one of these will definitely be exciting for any mountain biker. We are getting in the Giant Trance X Advanced E+ Elite 2 & 3, one Medium and one Large, these bikes retail for £5,499 & £6,499 so the cost to demo them for a day reflects that. If after you come back and are sold on the bike or any other E bike we will then take off the demo cost from the RRP and if you move quickly Giant are giving away a free 250Wh range extender with any purchase.
So please head down to our shop and see the vast range of E bikes that we offer both for sale and demo/hire. All our staff are incredibly educated about every E bike we have in stock and can answer any question you can throw at them! Hope to see you all in the near future.

Giant’s all trail lightweight E bikes can tackle every set of terrain they come across, sporting a mullet 29”/27.5” set up with Giant’s Maestro flip chip suspension to lower or raise the bottom bracket height to suite any situation. Paired with Giant’s Syncdrive 85Nm motor you really are steam rolling every rut and root in you path.
Due to the current huge demand for our full suspension demo E-Bikes we have a very limited supply and are currently unable to accept online demo bookings at this time.
To register your interest in an e-bike demo, please email [email protected] or call us on 01425 403584 and we will do our best to accommodate you.
WE ARE OPEN!
After this month's lockdown we are finally able to move back towards a new norm, meaning we are able to run our hire operation again.
We are thrilled to be able to hire to groups of 6 people, with the need for only 1 of you to enter the store at any one time to abide by the new rules.
All of our routes will be available as usual, however we recommend you call ahead if you plan on stopping off at a pub just to ensure they are happy to accommodate your group.
Regardless, we look forward to restarting our covid safe bike hire operation which we were able to successfully uphold throughout summer. We are really excited to see you all back out enjoying the winter sun and discovering the New Forest trails
