For one super-rich couple, tour takes in 12 global cities by e-bike

A2B bikes has now launched a package holiday that offers one couple a guided tour around 12 global destinations by e-bike, for just USD 135,000.

In large cities with crowded public transport and expensive taxi fares, cycling is one of the best ways for tourists to get around. Travelers heading to Berlin can already use services such as Dynamic Connections‘ crowdsourced cycling route maps, but what about other cities? A2B bikes has now launched a package holiday that offers one couple a guided tour around 12 global destinations by e-bike, for just USD 135,000.

Developed to coincide with the launch of A2B’s Obree and Orsted electric bikes, the unique holiday is only available to one couple and is designed to take in the sights of the 12 most fashionable cities in the world, as picked by members of luxury website VeryFirstTo. At each stop in Paris, Milan, London, New York, Tokyo, Sydney, and 6 other cities, the pair will be able explore the surroundings traveling via the new A2B models. They will also be joined by an experienced tour guide. At a cost of GBP 80,100 for the couple who takes up the offer, the trip isn’t cheap, but travelers get to keep the bikes and a GBP 1,000 donation is also made in their behalf to the Prince’s Trust charity in the UK.

The package tour essentially serves as a unique, immersive advertisement for A2B bikes, which enables the guests to trial the bike with the backdrop of some of the world’s most fashionable cities. Are there other luxury goods makers that could borrow the romanticism of beautiful locations with experiences such as this?
