The bikes are described as tailor-made for comfort and style. Chunky fat tires provide stability on various terrains, and the five levels of pedal assist let you decide whether you want to work a little or just glide along effortlessly. The 250-watt battery ensures you won’t be left out, with enough range to explore all day.

Multiple reviews mention the bikes as having a nippy, lightweight feel that’s easy to handle, even for those who might be less experienced cyclists. The retro design adds a touch of charm and fun, making the ride more memorable.

The Puzzle Pack and Wildlife Watching: A Perfect Pair

The puzzles are included in the tour, along with binoculars to help you spot local wildlife. According to reviews, many travelers appreciated the interactive element—it’s not just a sightseeing tour, but a game that makes you think as you pedal.

Expect to stop periodically at scenic spots to solve riddles, which a reviewer described as “fiendish but fun.” The wildlife sightings are another highlight; the New Forest coast is home to various creatures, and many found it rewarding to pause and watch the waves, or spot birds and other wildlife.
