If the thought of cycling in the Alps or even keeping up with your more buff partner in the rolling hills of Tuscany exhausts you, consider taking an electric bike, newly offered by the Britain-based outfitter Inntravel.
The company, which specializes in self-guided bicycling tours in Europe, now offers e-bikes that can assist riders on 22 routes covering the uphills in Switzerland, Austria, France, Italy and Spain. Riders can switch on the mini motors on inclines or in headwinds, or set the engines to switch on below a minimum speed.
The bikes are rechargeable and weigh about 10 kilograms (22 pounds) more than a standard bike, a load offset by the motorized boost.
"One of the advantages of e-bikes is that a couple of differing fitness can cycle together at the same speed, with one person using a bike and the other an e-bike," wrote Alison Hall, holiday development manager for Inntravel. "Anyone who has spent time waiting at the top of the hill, while their traveling companion puffs their way up, or vice versa, will embrace the concept."
The e-bikes cost extra – between £25 and £140 (about $40 and $223) per trip, depending on the destination. New routes being introduced this spring include the French region of the Camargue from £798 ($1,270) per person, including six nights in B&Bs, three dinners and more assistance with the load: luggage shuttles between inns.
