What to wear on your e-bike ride around Clarens

Prepare for a fun e-bike rental!

We have a lot of people who pop in to Clarens bike rentals to ride our e-bikes – either on a whim as the sun just came out, or a pre-planned and booked ride around Clarens – and who sometimes ride off with excitement, batteries all charged up for a nice long ride, but wearing clothes that just don’t support our ever changing northern Drakensberg weather.

Riders, either new to Clarens or seasoned locals, sometimes forget that during the off-season riding a bike at faster speeds, along with a wind-chill factor, can be COLD!

And our Maluti Mountain sun can also disappear at any moment and give way to clouds.

Our bikes are FAST

Our Avalanche e-bikes are super fun, allowing you to ride hills effortlessly and pedal like a champ. Also, our powerful mid-drive motors will make sure you only work out as much as you want to. But all that wind you are feeling while you pedal effortlessly may require some extra clothing to keep warm. You will likely be riding average speeds that are faster than you would on a traditional bicycle, with less effort, so we want you to dress for the event.
