Tips for Cycling on Islay
Distillery Trail
The coastal road from Port Ellen to Ardbeg passes Laphroaig and Lagavulin — perfect for a flat, scenic e-bike ride.
Battery Range
Premium e-bikes from Islay E-Wheels offer up to 60 miles — more than enough to explore the whole south of the island.
Book Ahead
Bikes are in high demand especially in summer. Book in advance to secure your preferred date.

Atlantic winds can be strong. The electric assist is a huge help on exposed coastal sections heading west.
