Can anyone recommend an Ebike hire place ideally in/close to Ambleside?

Looking for 2 electric FS trail bikes for a day in June.

Googling has mainly brought up hybrids and Hardtails

Cheers

James

Hired some Specialized Levos from here last October. Bikes were in great condition and the service was really good:

They also had a couple of other options besides the Levos.

Cheers, bikes look perfect but looks like only covered by their insurance to ride within grizedale forest and was intending to do a bigger ride than that

Yes, I noticed the clause about staying within the forest before we hired ours. However, when I asked at the shop when we picked them up they were really relaxed about it and even suggested some route options which went outside the forest area.

I think the main issue is they don't want to be driving miles to pick you or the bikes up if you have a problem. If you accept responsibility for getting the bikes back I'm sure you'll be fine.

Worth giving them a ring and asking them anyway.

Lake District Bikes are a suggestion as well, a friend knows the chap who runs it and it seems to be bang on. Few different choices of sizes and brands too.
