Experience the best of Liverpool’s landmarks in just 90 minutes on this guided e-bike adventure. Designed for ages 14 and over, the route takes in the city’s most iconic sights — from historic cathedrals to the vibrant docks — all with the ease of pedal assistance. With small group sizes, you’ll enjoy a friendly, relaxed atmosphere while exploring at a comfortable pace.
Arrive at the meeting point around ten minutes before departure for a quick introduction, bike setup, and safety briefing. Once everyone’s comfortable, the group sets off on a scenic circuit that captures Liverpool’s personality in every turn. The first stretch takes you past both of the city’s cathedrals — striking architectural contrasts that represent Liverpool’s spiritual heart — before rolling through Chinatown, home to the oldest Chinese community in Europe.
The route continues through the Cultural and Cavern Quarters, where music and heritage intertwine. You’ll pass spots linked to The Beatles, vibrant street art, and the historic streets that shaped the city’s creative identity. Riding as a close group, your guide shares local stories and insights at each stop, ensuring everyone has time to pause, learn, and capture photos.
To finish, the tour glides down towards Pier Head and the Royal Albert Dock, where Liverpool’s maritime past comes alive against the backdrop of the Three Graces. The mostly downhill route makes the return easy and enjoyable, leaving you with a great overview of the city and plenty of ideas for places to revisit later on foot.
Set in the heart of Liverpool, this tour starts near Kings Dock Street — a convenient base close to the city’s waterfront attractions. From there, you’ll explore neighbourhoods that showcase Liverpool’s mix of historic and modern culture, from Georgian terraces to redeveloped docklands. The compact route makes it ideal for first-time visitors who want to see as much as possible in a short amount of time.
Liverpool’s layout, with its variety of districts, is perfectly suited to e-bikes. Hills that might be challenging on a regular bike are no problem with pedal assistance, and quiet side streets make for pleasant cycling. With local traffic awareness and experienced guidance, the route is designed for comfort, safety, and maximum enjoyment — giving you a true sense of the city’s rhythm.
Riders should be confident cycling in light traffic and able to manage a standard two-wheeled bicycle. E-bikes are easy to use, and full instruction is given before setting off, so no prior e-bike experience is required. The minimum age is 14, and all riders under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Participants should arrive ready for the weather, wearing comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. Bringing a small bottle of water and a camera or phone for photos is recommended. As this is a mostly downhill route, it’s accessible to most fitness levels, and assistance is always available if adjustments or help are needed during the ride.
This team has been sharing the joy of cycling around Liverpool since 2011, combining years of local knowledge with a real passion for making the city accessible to everyone on two wheels. What began with standard bicycles soon evolved into a fully electric fleet, opening up the tours to riders of all ages and fitness levels. The introduction of high-quality Raleigh Motus e-bikes, powered by Bosch systems, has completely transformed the experience — providing smooth, reliable assistance that makes exploring the city effortless and enjoyable.
After seeing how much easier and more enjoyable e-bikes made the rides, all tours became e-bike only in 2024, ensuring every guest can take part without worrying about the hills or long distances. With a long-standing reputation for excellence, the team’s commitment to quality has earned them a consistent Number One ranking on TripAdvisor and multiple Traveller’s Choice Awards. Each tour is designed with care, balancing local storytelling, comfort, and safety, so guests can focus on what matters most — discovering Liverpool in a fun, relaxed, and memorable way.
The tour uses EU-certified electric pedal-assisted bikes that provide smooth and consistent support as you pedal. These bikes are designed for stability and ease of use, offering electric assistance up to 15.5mph (around 25km/h). The assistance helps take the strain out of hills or longer stretches while still letting you enjoy the feeling of cycling naturally.
The average riding speed is around 12mph, ideal for a relaxed but steady pace. Riders can expect to keep up comfortably with the group while enjoying plenty of time to take in the sights. The guides perform a quick demonstration before setting off, so even those new to e-bikes can feel confident from the start.
Liverpool has a few slopes, but the tour is designed to be mostly downhill or flat, and the e-bikes make light work of any gradients. The electric assistance ensures that everyone — from experienced cyclists to casual riders — can enjoy the ride without struggling. It’s an active experience but not strenuous, allowing you to focus on the city’s highlights rather than the pedalling.
The route has been carefully planned to maximise sightseeing while maintaining comfort and safety. Roads are quiet where possible, and the pace allows time for regrouping at key points so that everyone rides together throughout the tour.
Group sizes are kept small, with a maximum of six riders per tour. This ensures a more personal experience, where the guide can engage with everyone and tailor the pace to the group’s comfort level. It also helps maintain safety, especially when navigating junctions or city traffic.
Smaller groups mean it’s easier to stay together, hear commentary clearly, and enjoy a sociable feel to the ride. It’s ideal for couples, families with older children, or friends who want to share a unique city experience together.
Comfortable clothing suitable for cycling is recommended, along with closed shoes for stability. Since Liverpool’s weather can change quickly, it’s a good idea to bring a light waterproof jacket or an extra layer. Helmets and high-visibility vests are provided, but you can bring your own if you prefer.
A small bottle of water is useful to have along the way, as refreshment stops aren’t scheduled during this short tour. Don’t forget your camera or phone for photos — there are plenty of great opportunities to capture the city’s architecture and street scenes.
Yes, beginners are welcome as long as they can ride a two-wheeled bike confidently. E-bikes are intuitive and easy to control, and the guides provide full instruction before the tour begins. Once you start pedalling, the motor gently engages to help you move effortlessly, making it a perfect introduction to cycling in the city.
The relaxed pace and clear route guidance make this experience accessible to most people. It’s a great way to build confidence, enjoy the outdoors, and see Liverpool from a completely different perspective — all without worrying about fitness levels or navigating unfamiliar streets alone.
