How to get the right e-bike for you

In a hilly area like Kirklees, e-bikes are a gamechanger! They can make cycling much easier for those of us with less than stellar fitness or extra stuff to carry. But there’s a bewildering variety of types out there, and they’re a big investment: how do you know which one to get?

Introduction to e-bikes at Marsden Walking Festival

Take an e-bike on a scenic loop of approx 3 miles with a qualified cycle instructor, who’ll show you how to get the most out of electric assistance.

Cycle path closures and diversions

There are currently some closures to popular cycle routes in Kirklees – please be aware if you’re planning a journey!
