Big sights. Bright bikes. Rather good company.
Epic & Electric: Semi-Private London eBike Tour
A semi-private ride: four guests at most, and you may share it with another couple or a solo traveller.
Sweep past palaces, nose down Westminster’s backstreets and leave your mark in London’s graffiti tunnel. Three hours on our custom-built retro eBikes, with a guide full of stories and a motor happy to help with the pedalling.

A little royal pomp. A little backstreet mischief.
Big Ben gets the photograph. Buckingham Palace gets a royal wave. Then we duck into the quieter streets for the stories between the sights. Westminster Abbey, the Royal Parks and London’s grandest landmarks are all on the route. Your guide takes care of the navigation; you get to enjoy the ride.
London has plenty to show off, but some of its best moments happen between the famous addresses. A backstreet you would have walked straight past. A story worth retelling over dinner. A stop long enough to get the photograph and hear what makes the place matter.
Then there are the bikes. Custom-built just for us, right down to those round Triumph motorcycle headlamps. Fat white-wall tyres, frames bright enough to cheer up a wet Tuesday, and a motor that chips in every time you pedal. Helmet or tweed flat cap? Your call.
With no more than four guests, there’s room for questions, conversation and the occasional group photograph that fits everyone in. You may share the ride with another couple, friends or a solo explorer. Your guide brings the stories; your fellow riders bring the company.
At Leake Street, we swap royal grandeur for walls covered in street art. We supply the spray paint. Artistic genius remains entirely optional. Choose the 10am ride to get your bearings by lunch, or join us at 2pm for an afternoon out.

Accessibility
The law says you must be 14 or over to ride an electric bike, so every rider needs to be 14 or older. Riders also need to be at least 1.55m tall and comfortable riding a bike. The motor helps with the pedalling, not the balancing.
If a rider might look younger than 14, please bring proof of age, such as a passport, to show your guide on the day.
On this shared tour, everyone rides their own eBike. Pillion passengers are not offered.
Travelling with younger children? The Epic & Electric: Private London eBike Tour can take up to two eligible passengers, each riding behind an adult rider, subject to our suitability guidance. Under-14s can be added when you book; an adult pillion is by enquiry.
Seasonal notes
