We hired electric bikes from Blackwell mills cycle hire to ride the Monsal Trail. It was excellent. First time on an electric bike and what a game changer!! We sailed down and up the track with minimal effort and saw all the beautiful scenery, tunnels and viaduct. We had lunch in Bakewell and pedalled back again with minimal effort and maximum enjoyment. The bikes were lovely. The trail is well worth seeing and the people at the cycle hire shop were lovely. The bikes were adjusted for us individually and the electric controls explained to us too. I would 100% recommend this hire company and their lovely bikes. It was the highlight of our stay.
