Pedal & Puzzle: The New Forest Adventure Escape Ride
Enjoy an e-bike safari along the New Forest Wine Route for an exclusive wine tasting at our newest vineyard and cidery.
Collect your head turning retro style e-bikes along with your route map and head off from Milford on Sea and enjoy a scenic and fun-filled, power assisted cycle to the vineyard. Hop off and settle in for a tasting led by Guillaume, our expert and passionate oenologist.
Afterwards, enjoy a browse of the newly planted vineyard or pop a blanket down in the fields for a picnic before exploring more of the New Forest on your way home.
Retro styled bikes with chunky fat tyres and five levels of cheeky pedal assist at your fingertips, means there's no need to avoid those pesky hills or limit your journey or imagination. Our head turning Super Monkey retro chopper e-bike comes in two frame types and with a nippy little 250w battery it puts everyone on an equal footing so that nobody gets left behind!
This experience is bookable online on Sundays and Wednesdays during the Spring and Summer season, Apr - Oct. Additional dates are available on request for private groups of 4 or more. Just ask.
The perfect experience for a group of friends, colleagues or family.

About the experience
What's included
Pedal & Puzzle is a completely different way to explore the New Forest coast. Instead of following a fixed sightseeing route, you unlock your journey by observing the landscape, solving clues and thinking laterally.
Using powerful e-bikes, you’ll link together adventurous coastal and forest trails, reaching hidden landmarks and lesser-known places that most visitors never see. The puzzles are woven into the environment, encouraging you to slow down, look closer and engage with where you are, not just ride through it.
It’s active, immersive and quietly addictive.
Itinerary
Begin at Jaunt-E-Bikes HQ with free parking and a friendly briefing before setting off on your self-guided adventure.
Follow a carefully designed route that weaves together coastal tracks, woodland paths and open New Forest landscapes. At each puzzle location, you’ll need to study your surroundings, decode clues and work together to reveal the next stage of the ride.
There’s no rush and no ticking clock. Stop for photos, take in the views, regroup if needed, the experience is about fun, adventure and discovery rather than speed.
This is the New Forest explored with intention: active, thoughtful and deeply memorable.
