This means if you want to load it on a car, or bus, or take it with you via train, it\u2019s no issue. Many countries across Europe are accommodating too. Places like Switzerland and the Netherlands are ever-expanding the number of public bike garages, while major cities like Bordeaux, Berlin, and more are increasing cycling lanes and charging points. Most bus and train companies in Europe allow passengers to bring their bikes, and your Ampler is no different. Most can\u2019t tell that it&#8217;s even an e-bike!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Price-friendly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Organised e-bike tours have the advantages of an all-inclusive holiday. Accommodation, guides, and bikes are all planned and often work out cheaper. However, with your e-bike, you can save on rental costs. Furthermore, with some careful preparation, you can simply plan your expeditions. Work out the distances and stops and get there smoothly. Forget spending on petrol or ticket fares, with an e-bike you can cover significant distances with less exertion. You also don\u2019t need to worry about any congestion or parking fees when exploring new cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Eco-friendly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Deciding to holiday with your e-bike is not only fun but environmentally sustainable. Compared to renting cars or taking busses your e-bike is a far better alternative. Take satisfaction in the fact that not only are you getting good exercise and taking a little extra time to enjoy your surroundings, but making less of an environmental impact. E-bikes are also quiet so you won\u2019t be creating any noise pollution &#8211; this is beneficial not only to the locals but to wildlife too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Explorative<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no better way to get a feel for a place than with a cycling holiday. Take advantage of the freedom an e-bike gives you. With peddle assistance, you can spend more time cycling with less physical strain. Arrive at local villages or historic sights with the energy to walk around. Support local communities and businesses by having extra money for souvenir shopping you\u2019d otherwise spend on petrol or travel. You\u2019ll likely discover places you otherwise would never have found were it not for the option to explore on your e-bike.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Inclusive<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While we have covered the immediate benefits of an e-bike holiday it\u2019s clear that it falls under the pros of any cycling holiday. E-bikes open up regular cycling trips that might be too physically strenuous for some. People with varying levels of fitness can partake in longer, more challenging journeys. Distances and steep gradients become less of a concern when you have state-of-the-art motor assistance. Besides, any holiday is made more enjoyable with good company. E-bikes allow more friends and family to get involved.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suggested Trips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your mind&#8217;s made up and you want to take part in an e-bike holiday your next decision is where. Fortunately, you have many options for an amazing holiday, unfortunately, this may be overwhelming. We\u2019ve selected just some of our favourite routes and areas for you and your Ampler to get started.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1403\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.ampler.bike\/a\/20220720144035\/4-Eco-friendly-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"cycling-mountain-road\" class=\"wp-image-74548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.ampler.bike\/a\/20220720144035\/4-Eco-friendly-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/assets.ampler.bike\/a\/20220720144035\/4-Eco-friendly-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.ampler.bike\/a\/20220720144035\/4-Eco-friendly-768x421.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption>Escape with your e-bike and conquer the world<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">E-bike holidays in Germany<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hamburg to Berlin <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a popular route that starts and ends with two incredible cities.
