Our Bicycles, E-bikes and Equipment

One of the most important things that you must get right on a cycling holiday is your choice of bicycle. At Ireland by Bike we have used our years of experience, providing cycling holidays in Ireland to choose the best possible bicycles and e-bikes for touring on Irish roads. This gives you the peace of mind knowing that you are using top of the range equipment that perfectly suits the terrain you are exploring.

Unisex Electric Bike

When it came to selecting our e-bikes there were some non-negotiables. First the only drive system we would consider was the Bosch Active +. This system is simply unbeatable for its reliability, performance and suitability to the back roads in the West and North of Ireland. Along with this Shimano gears and hydraulic disc brakes add to the reliability. We have added Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres, the most puncture resistant tyre available, and the Speed Lifter Twist allowing easy handlebar height adjustment. All combine to give the perfect e-bike to explore Ireland with full confidence and peace of mind.
