Are you looking for a fun way to spend more time outdoors with the whole family? eBikes offer a great opportunity to create unique bonds and experience with those you love. If you’re considering a family ride on eBikes and Electric Trikes, here are some tips to make it a fun, inclusive, and smooth experience for the whole family!
1. Pick the Right eBike
Start with making sure everyone has the right ride for them. Not all eBikes are the same, so it’s important to match the bike to the rider's skill level, size, and comfort needs. With the increased stability of the XP Trike, and easily accessible Step-Through eBikes, family members of all ability can join in on the fun. Zone in on the right model for each family member with an eBike Quiz.
2. Setting the Right Pace
One of the best parts of family rides is the shared experience, but it's important to set a pace for different fitness levels and abilities of your group. Take breaks from the trip when needed, pick a safe route, and make sure to ride at a pace that all can enjoy. Oftentimes it's helpful to put the slower riders in the front of the pack to ensure no one gets left behind.
3. Get Everyone Involved
Make sure to include grandparents, aunts, uncles and young ones in the planning process and route making! Asking everyone where they'd like to ride or what they'd like to see along the way gives everyone a chance to be involved and enjoy a more well-thought-out ride!
4. Make Sure Everyone Has the Right Gear
Safety is important for every rider, but especially for those family members who may not ride regularly. Bringing along a tool kit or spare tube is great way to be prepared for any mishap your group might encounter. Be sure to equip everyone with the proper gear, such as helmets and any other protective equipment for a safe and enjoyable ride.
5. Keep it Fun and Engaging
Family eBike rides are all about fun and enjoying the time together. Stop at local attractions or landmarks along your route and turn it into a mini adventure. Strike up conversations with your fellow riders and enjoy the sights along the way as you make memories with your loved ones.
Crafting a ride that the whole family can enjoy can be one of the most rewarding ways you can spend your free time, and can foster healthy habits for the whole group! We hope this blog gave you some inspiration to start your own today!
