Most bike hire gives you wheels and a map. Pedal & Puzzle gives you a mission! It combines New Forest e-bike hire with an escape-room-style challenge played out across real landscapes. You’re not just sightseeing — you’re searching for clues, spotting details and unlocking the next stage of the route. The puzzles encourage teamwork and friendly competition, making it ideal for couples, families and groups of friends. The electric bikes smooth out hills and longer distances, so everyone can join in and enjoy the adventure. Starting near Lymington and Keyhaven means you’re straight onto scenic coastal trails and lanes not busy roads. It’s immersive, active and far more memorable than a standard cycle ride. The ideal day out for fans of escape rooms and outdoor adventures!

The New Forest is a fabulous area to explore on two wheels, with a choice of coastal paths and woodland, pubs and tearooms.
