Try a brand new cycling holiday in Wales onboard electric bikes with Drover Holidays which has just added Spencer Ivy electric bikes to their hire fleet, allowing holidaymakers to breeze over the Welsh hills with ease. Self-guided breaks start from just £215 per person for a weekend break, including good quality b&b accommodation, electric bike hire, luggage transfer and route maps, as well as free transfers to and from the nearest train station, so holidaymakers can leave their car at home.

All Drover Holidays' self guided cycling short breaks and holidays are available as electric bike tours, with these two routes especially designed for the new e-bikes:
· Brecon Beacons E-explorer - based in the market town of Brecon, this two-day, two-night tour offers one 25 mile ride along the Taff Trail to the beautiful Talybont Reservoir, followed on the second day by a choice to explore the lovely Llangorse Lake and enjoy a spot of birdwatching, or enjoy a battery-boosted ride up to the National Park Visitor centre for views of the highest peaks in the Brecon Beacons. Priced from £215 per person.
· Electric Hay - a two-day, two-night break around Hay. Offering two 25-mile circular rides from the town, exploring the pretty black and white villages of Herefordshire and the Wye Valley's stunning scenery. Priced from £215 per person.

There are no fixed departure dates, and all electric bike holidays include:
· Pick-up and drop-off at nearest railway station at the start and end of your tour
