NEW
way: Edelweiss E-Bike Tours.
“When we travel we usually have
one goal: We want to discover the
most beautiful places on earth. We
want to get to know the people
living there, try their food and
immerse in their culture. The
E-Bike allows us to do so - and
even more! Where we had to stop
riding our motorcycle, we just keep
on riding our E-Bikes instead. The
E-Bike gives us the opportunity to
travel in a sustainable and active
way. On top of that, it is a lot
of fun without having to strain
yourself. It is the perfect addition to
our current travel program.
“An E-Bike is a “normal” bicycle
combined with an electric motor
that supports the rider when
pedaling. Every rider can adjust the
level of engine support so he/she
will always stay in his/her comfort
zone - even when riding uphill. The
electric motor forms
an additional support
that allows you to
reach a speed of up
to 25km/h without
breaking into a sweat.
However, the engine
will only support you
when pedaling.
”The advantages
of any E-Bike tour
is the healthy and
enjoyable physical activity without
exerting yourself. Since everyone
can individually adjust the level of
support, E-Bike tours are a perfect
vacation for the whole family.
Stronger riders can choose less
engine support and weaker ones use
the “Turbo” mode and will fly away.
“This motivates, is fun and allows
the cyclist to actively relax during
their holiday, as well as enjoying
the surrounding environment and
impressions.”
To launch the tours, Edelweiss
is offering four initial trips, all
through countryside that they know
very well from their motorcycle
tours; The Kingdom of Fjords
and Glaciers (10 nights in Norway,
from US$3660); Through southern
7XVFDQ\  QLJKWV IURP 86 
Istria – green paradise of the
$GULDWLF 6HD  QLJKWV LQ &URDWLD
from US$2200); and The Austrian
/DNH 'LVWULFW ² 6DO]NDPPHUJXW 
nights in Austria, from US$1950).
Tour guides, a backup/luggage van,
breakfast and dinner and snacks en
route are all included. Trust me, you
will not starve!

The Edelweiss E-Bikes effectively let you
travel at bicycle speeds without bicycle
effort. Wonderful idea, especially since the
bikes are equipped with panniers to carry
essentials while the big bags travel in the
support van. While there is no helmet law
for bicycles in Europe, you are encouraged
to wear head protection!
