If you are planning to ride an electric bike on your next trip, here is a selection of places to discover. This kind of tourism is a great way to explore a destination thoroughly, get some exercise and, above all, have a wonderful time.
Sonoma, California (United States)
The outing takes you through the enchanting valley overlooking the Russian River and the Pacific coast, with its magnificent scenery: productive vineyards, idyllic gardens, historic towns and redwoods. You can follow the marked trails at your own pace, admire the region and discover the United States as a destination, breathing the sea breeze scented with vines. It is ideal for a family trip, with easily accessible trails.
Île Sainte-Hélène and Île Notre-Dame, Québec (Canada)
These places particularly appeal to those seeking authentic stopovers. They lie in the Hochelaga archipelago on the St Lawrence River in Montréal, Québec, Canada. The routes follow dirt paths beneath two romantic bridges: de la Concorde and Jacques-Cartier. When you stop, visit Cité-du-Havre park to admire Montréal’s famous sunset. The circuit offers plenty of promise, with something for every level.
Burgundy, France
It was voted the best destination for vineyard cycle tourism the previous year. Explore beautiful waterways, hills, vineyards and castles, with more than 200 km of greenways and 164 km of cycle routes criss-crossing the region. The picturesque scenery will leave you speechless: a Romanesque chapel, a high-tech museum or a lively market in a well-preserved historic setting. Plenty to fill your memory with lasting impressions!
Baja, Mexico
Baja is a mountainous, semi-desert region of California. It attracts travelling cyclists seeking tranquillity and a closer connection with nature. It brings travellers face to face with Mexican life, making for a truly unusual journey. Unlike the other destinations, it takes you well away from comfort but promises adventure and rich experiences.
The “southern island of Kaido”, Japan
The southern island of Kaido is described as a Japanese reference point for cycle tourists. Cycling is, so to speak, an official means of transport there. You can enjoy the warm Japanese welcome, temples, palaces, natural parks, bamboo forest and cultural centre. It promises an extraordinary escape into a renowned natural and cultural setting that you may never forget. Along the way, be sure to taste the culinary specialities for which the country is known.
There is certainly no shortage of destinations. Every corner of the world has ideal places for an electric bike. These ideas should at least help guide your choice. Of course, everything depends on what you want and expect.
