March 2022 – Ullapool Bike Hire News
For the upcoming 2022 season, you will be riding our high-quality bikes from Forme. We are very proud that we have all our bikes again sourced from a UK based company.
Our hire bikes are NEW each year and carefully cleaned, maintained and checked before every trip to ensure safety and reliability.
We maintain an online booking system to make it is as easy and convenient for you to book your preferred bike and date (duration).
We hire out during the season.:
- Hybrid Road & Gravel Bike (1st March 2022)
- Mountain Bike (1st March 2022)
- Hybrid Road & Gravel eBike (1st March 2022)
- Mountain eBike (available from 1st June 2022)
Our Bike Fleet is likely to grow within the season. Availability can be seen on our online booking page.
Helmets, locks, pumps and repair kits are supplied free of charge with each hire.
Hybrid Bikes – I want mostly road and a little bit off-road riding, but nothing too crazy!
Hybrid bikes are much quicker than MTBs on the road but can deal with well-maintained tracks too. They are ideal for a cycle tour of the Highlands.
Mountain Biking – I want mostly off-road and a bit of road riding
For the Loch Achall (further into the valley), Strath Vaich, Inverbroom and other off-road routes you’ll need one of our mountain bikes. Mountain bikes aren’t as quick as hybrids on tarmac but offer greater comfort and control on rougher terrain.
Hybrid eBikes – I want mostly road and a little bit gravel riding, but with a battery!
Hybrid bikes are much quicker than MTBs on the road but can deal with well-maintained tracks too. They are ideal for a cycle tour of the Highlands and with the advantage of a 400 Watt Bosch battery to support you.
Mountain eBike – I want mostly off-road with the support of a battery
For the Loch Achall (further into the valley), Strath Vaich, Inverbroom and other off-road routes you’ll need one of our mountain bikes. These come with a 500 Watt battery to support you off-road and sometimes on the road.
We highly recommend booking in advance. Ullapool can be bustling in high season, we are on a very scenic route through the North-West Highlands (North Coast 500) and especially the summer months can be quickly booked up.
