A wonderful morning with Martin, who was helpfulness itself. The countryside is beautiful, and peaceful, and the electric bikes did not destroy the peace at all. Despite the route being very hilly, we never felt we were having to make serious effort - real magic-carpet effect - and we are both OAPs! Amazing, actually.

This was such fun! The electric mechanism was much less intrusive than I had anticipated - nothing like riding a scooter, more like ordinary cycling only with superpowers. We are not a very active family (fitness level 1-2 on Martin's scale) but none of us struggled with this, it was simply immense fun. A great way to see a lot... More

We contacted Martin (Marshwood tour guide) in the morning when considering a family bike ride with our 2 children (ages 5 & 6). After leaving a voicemail on his mobile we shortly received a call in response to discuss. As the children are still young, we use trail gator bars to connect the children to our bikes so we can...

A good day out in fabulous country side with added interest and a light fitness element suitable for all levels and ages that he advertises. Martin was helpful and knowledgeable about the bikes and features of the tour; a real value for money experience.

We spent a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon cycling around some of the most picturesque West Dorset lanes and villages with Martin, our guide. He was happy to go at our pace and we stopped at various viewpoints along the route where he gave interesting tales and anecdotes. I hadn't been on a bike for years and easily picked up how to...

I can't think of a better way to see the hidden parts of the beautiful West Dorset countryside. We went well off the beaten track along some lovely winding country lanes and were led to some spectacular scenery by our excellent guide Martin. The electric bikes were a godsend, taking the hard work out of hills (there are a few... More

We had a wonderful half day bike ride on a beautiful sunny spring day with Martin from Marshwood Trails.meeting at Felicitys Farm Shop in Morecamblake we were given a quick run through on how the bikes worked which was simplicity itself.They are just like normal bikes but they do most of the work when cycling up hills and in this...

Thanks for your generous review Ian. This is such a stunning part of the country and the electric bikes are such a great way of exploring. They take all the effort out of getting up those West Dorset inclines, allow people to travel further and discover more in a day or half day tour, and you feel great rather than... More

We went on a half day cycle tour with Martin on a cold crisp February morning. We cruised around the almost deserted country lanes up and down some predominantly hilly countryside taking in the beautiful scenery. What normally would be a huff and a puff became a breeze with the "helping extra push" of the electric bike. They are great.... More

What a great idea I thought when Martin emailled me with Happy New Year wishes and news that he'd taken delivery of new Electric Bikes, I'd like to test drive one! So I gathered some friends for our B&B Group and Martin from Marshwood Trails met us at Cardsmill Farm near Whitchurch Canonicorum on a very very cold and frosty... More

I had a great time on one of the bike tours, exploring some beautiful parts of West Dorset I didn't know about. Most of the tour took place on quiet roads, great if like me you're a bit unsure or a bit rusty riding a bike again. My confidence certainly improved by the end of the tour and I now... More
