Discover the joy of exploring the New Forest e-bike style; an exhilarating adventure, for everyone
Are you eager to explore the great outdoors on two wheels but don’t fancy getting hot and sweaty or dealing with a sore bottom from a ‘butter knife’ seat? If so, you’re not alone! Say hello to our June bloggers, Clare and Lisa, who own and manage Jaunt-ebikes hire and experiences in Milford on Sea….
“Many people, just like us, especially older adults and families, want to enjoy the freedom and adventure of a day out exploring by bike but are put off by the dread of rounding a corner to be faced with a giant hill!! It was exactly this sentiment that led to us starting Jaunt-ebikes, now the New Forest’s premier e-bike experiences provider. Five levels of cheeky pedal assist ensure everyone’s on a level playing field and nobody gets left behind; everyone can ride at their own pace. And because you’re pedalling you still get all the physical and mental health benefits of a cardiovascular workout - but without the hard impact on joints and bones. And you’ll be able to cover much, much more distance on an e-bike, take in more sights and explore more. Everyone can enjoy the day, equally.
Our mission at Jaunt-e is to ensure our guests squeeze every minute of joy from their day-out, and we’ve carefully curated a host of days out that include Vineyard and Brewery Safari’s, Nature Trails, Kayaking Adventures and Bike’n’Brunch rides, taking in all the best bits of the New Forest and doing all the route planning and thinking for you. We frequently steer guest towards the best local places to stop off to eat and drink during their cycle – sharing our secret ‘locals’ knowledge!
By the way, be prepared for turn heads on our bikes, because our fleet of retro styled e-bikes with chunky fat tyres and squidgy comfy seats are uber cool and oodles of fun to ride. And for our younger guests we’ve recently invested in award winning lightweight Frog bikes and rear bike carriers. We’ve even got pooch covered too – with a range of trailers and carriers for your Rover Royalty.
We also don’t’ believe in hidden extras so our prices always include free all-day parking and free routes, handlebar bags, helmets & locks.
We’re based in the pretty coastal New Forest hamlet of Keyhaven in Milford on Sea adjacent to miles of coastal tracks and trails. Two mins after leaving Jaunt-e HQ you’re straight out onto the New Forest National Park coastal path. It’s simply stunning.
Our most popular cycle jaunt this year has got to be our new Pedal & Puzzle, an outdoor escape room adventure by e-bike. Think treasure hunting on two whizz-e wheels!! Hop onto your e-bike and zip around the New Forest taking in the stunning scenery and coastline whilst puzzling and solving knotty clues and challenges along the way. It’s a brilliant way to spend a day out exploring in the fresh air with your favourite people. Could you crack the code and solve the puzzle?
We try to be flexible so that our guests can make the most of their precious holiday hours and minutes. You can now book a 90 min e-blast rental option for when you’re waiting to check in or checking out early, from your holiday accommodation and want to squeeze the most out of your day – or just short on time. Because you have a cheeky battery under your seat you can clock up at least 12km of glorious New Forest coastline, blow off a few cobwebs and still be back in time to beat the traffic. No sweat! We think it’s the perfect cost-effective way to bookend your holiday.”
