Go Exploring On An E-Bike Tour In Cape Town

Cape Town is full of endless adventure options! If you are looking for a way to explore the Mother City from a unique angle, why not try an electric bicycle tour? E-bikes are the latest exciting trend in Cape Town. With a Cape Town e-bike tour you can cover more ground without feeling exhausted.

Explore Cape Town on an E-Bike

When you drive through the streets of Cape Town, you can take in the scenery. But when you cycle through Cape Town on an e-bike, you can feel part of the city on a whole new level. Whether you are exploring the urban jungle or the rugged nature of the Mother City – an e-bike tour of Cape Town will offer you a more in-depth experience.

The great benefit of an e-bike, is that you don’t have to be super fit to enjoy the thrills of cycling through Cape Town. With an electric bicycle you can see more of Cape Town, without worrying about an uphill, or long distance tiring you out before your adventure ends.

What Is An E-Bike?

An electric bicycle or e-bike has a compact electric motor integrated into the hub of either the front or back wheel. The motor can also be fitted to the bike’s center and connected to the pedal sprocket. This places an e-bike somewhere between a standard bicycle and a motorbike.

Unlike a motorbike, the little motor won’t do all the work for you, you still have to pedal the e-bike in the same way you would a standard bicycle. But it gives you the oomph you need when your legs become a bit tired, or the uphill becomes too long.

E-bikes are powered by rechargeable batteries. The distance you can travel on a single charge will depend on the size of the battery. You can travel between 25 to 32 km/h on a sturdy e-bike. Speeds allowed are determined by the country’s laws, keeping it within the classification of e-bike and not motorbike. This also means that you can hire an e-bike for a tour of Cape Town without worrying about needing a motorbike licence to ride it.

E-Bike Tours in Cape Town

Your e-bike exploration options in Cape Town are almost endless! A few popular destinations include the Sea Point Promenade, running all the way into the V&A Waterfront. You can also explore the outstretched Waterfront on an e-bike. Or travel to the other side of the mountain from Sea Point, heading for Camps Bay via the coastal road.

Chapman’s Peak is another perfect spot for a Cape Town e-bike tour. It has been called one of the most scenic drives in the world. The winding route hugs the side of the mountain, offering you mesmerizing cliffs on the one side, and the vast Atlantic Ocean on the other. You can also stop along the way for a picnic to take in all the magnificent views.

With the extra energy left in your legs, why not explore the Hout Bay area on your nifty electric bicycle? It lies on the other side of Chapman’s Peak drive. The residents of this area are extremely proud of their beautiful corner of the Cape. They even created the informal Republic of Hout Bay.

Towards the West Coast you can explore the other promenade running from Table View to Blouberg. Travel further up the West Coast to enjoy the unspoilt beauty of this area. If you want to travel outside the city, why not do a Stellenbosch e-bike tour? You can even squeeze in a few visits to the magnificent wine farms of the region.

Cape Town is packed with culture, history, art, natural beauty and local peculiarities.

Giving up-close views of so many points of interest, this is the only Cape Town sightseeing tour of its kind; and thanks to the pedal assistance provided by the electrically powered motor, it’s accessible to adventurer seekers of all fitness levels. When it comes to Cape Town private city tours, we make it our business to offer an unsurpassed experience.

We rode in the Stellenbosch region and what an amazing day we had! Perfect as far as the length, level of difficulty, the views (we saw baboons, falcons and wild cats as well) and our guide, Roland, second to none. All in all, we had a perfect day and if I could give 10 stars, I would. We hope to come back someday

Cape Town Cycle Tour entries open, e-bikes welcome & short route clarification

Supplied by Cape Town Cycle Tour.

Excitement is mounting! Thousands upon thousands of South Africans are eagerly preparing to enter the Cape Town Cycle Tour 2020, Cape Town’s annual festival on two wheels and the bucket list item that everyone wants to tick off, at least once!

Next year, 8 March will be the day when Cape Town invites its residents and visitors to don their Lycra and/or crazy costumes and pedal through some of the most glorious scenery found anywhere in the world – or cheer on those who do.

“There are a few things that set the Cape Town Cycle Tour apart,” says David Bellairs, a Director of the Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust. “The route is incredible – where else can you ride 109km of breath-taking scenery, laughing and enjoying Instagrammable moments and the camaraderie of 34 999 like-minded individuals? It’s a challenge, but one that is achievable even by those who only dust their bikes off once a year.

“Then there’s the welcome that the city provides. People go out of their way to line the route. They dress up, they shout, they clap and cheer on the riders as they pedal by. And don’t forget the 100s of volunteers who look forward to being part of the Cycle Tour every year. The sense of celebration and community on the day is hard to describe and must be experienced!

“Participants get to be part of this amazing ‘gees’ all the while knowing that the proceeds go to charity. This is truly an event that transforms the everyday into an experience of heroic proportions. No wonder the Cape Town Cycle Tour has held a special place in South Africans’ hearts for more than 40 years!”

Over the past 5 years alone, more than R45 million has been distributed to social upliftment and cycling development programmes in and around the Western Cape by beneficiaries, the Pedal Power Association and the Rotary Club of Claremont. Taking part in the Cape Town Cycle Tour is one of the easiest ways to support a worthy cause whilst experiencing a once-a-year opportunity to own the traffic-free road around the Cape Peninsula.

The Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust is excited to announce that e-bikes will be welcomed for the first time this coming year, subject to specific conditions to entry.

However, hosting a short course in addition to the traditional 109km route is proving extremely complex. The team at Cape Town Cycle Tour, together with key stakeholders including the City of Cape Town, has invested considerable time and effort in planning for two world-class events within the City and surrounds. Safety, experience and quality of the event cannot be compromised, and disruption and inconvenience to the residents of the City of Cape Town must be minimised.

This process can’t be rushed and with the entry date upon us, the decision has been taken to postpone the short route option until 2021 to allow for further planning and judicious preparation.

“We know that there will be some disappointment around this decision – we’re disappointed too,” says Bellairs. “But as always, the safety of participants comes first. We hope to have good news next year regarding the short course for 2021. All stakesholders will continue working to make this possible.”

General Entries Entries open: Monday, 21 October @ 1pm General entry fee: R550

Charity Applications opened Wednesday, 2 October – Friday, 11 October 2019 Charity entry fee: R860

CAPE TOWN FOR CAPETONIANS

VineBikes: The ultimate e-bike wine tour experience

If you’re looking for an exciting way to explore the winelands around Cape Town, then why not try an electric bike wine-tasting tour?

VineBikes, a company run by adventure buffs, offers guided tours through safe and scenic routes in Banhoek, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, where you can taste the delicious wines each farm has to offer while enjoying an easy pedal through greenery in the fresh air.

The beauty of an electric bike is that it makes riding a no-sweat excursion. The e-bikes are fitted with a motor and battery, handle like a normal bicycle, and are family-friendly (there are kids’ seats and half-wheelers).

Plus, there are saddlebags so you can take a bottle or two home. Each tour lasts 3.5 hours, and you spend about 30 to 45 minutes at each farm along the route.

In Banhoek, you’ll start your journey from the beautiful Banhoek Lodge and wind through the valley, surrounded by the impressive Drakenstein Mountains.

You’ll cycle to two or three excellent estates, including one that is tucked away at the end of the valley. Thelema Mountain Vineyards, Zorgvliet Wine Estate and Oldenburg Vineyards are just a few of the wineries you can visit on this tour.
