This looks like a realy cute e bike tour showing the natures of bournemouth. Ive done a small e bike trip around the town and it was beautiful. I think the e bikes for sure make some tour enjoyable espacially on a hot day with a group of friends.

Oh i feel like this would be rally good for people who are new to the area but are wanting to go out at night. There arent many bars and clubs here but the ones that are can get sold out pretty fast or just have longer lines.
