BikePark Wales charging extra to ride e-bikes on their trails

BikePark Wales have become the first UK bike park or trail centre to charge extra (£7) to ride your electric mountain bikes on their trails a move has not gone down well with e-bikers.

Why?

E-bike riders can buy a day pass for £15, this allows unlimited riding in the park for a full day. All proceeds from day pass fees are invested directly in the trail network, maintaining and building new trail. As e-bike riders complete significantly more laps of the park than standard pedal riders we have introduced differential pricing to reflect the differing usage and impact on the trails.
