If you are bringing your own bike or ebike on our supported tours, please take the following into consideration:
Your bicycle does not weigh more than 20kg – including e-bikes (with the battery off). Bikes heavier than this are too heavy for our guides to be able to lift on and off the cycle trailer safely.
Your bike does not have any mudguards fitting on the front tyre (due to how they are secured on the trailer). Rear mudguards are fine.
If your bike is an ebike, the battery must be removed from the bike and stored in our trailer while transiting (we recommend you use a protective bag of some sort) – you are not able to store the battery inside our bus.
The bike is well maintained, recently serviced, and in a good safe condition.
Your helmet is in a good safe condition with no cracks, and can be fastened properly.
The tyres (either mountain bike or hybrid tyres) have a good level of tread on them, suitable for trails/gravel. Slick tyres are not recommended.
A basic bike repair kit must be carried including 2 x spare inner tubes.
Any major mechanical breakdown is your own responsibility.
PureTrails staff will secure your bike on our cycle trailer when in transit during the tour, but the company is not held responsible for any damages that occur during transportation.
