Discover a New Way to Explore the French Countryside with E-Trike Tours

Maximum Fun, Minimum Effort
Truly Experience the Charm of Avignon and Beyond
E-Trike Tours, founded by cycling enthusiast Darren Hooper, brings a unique and sustainable holiday experience to the picturesque landscapes of Provence, France. Amidst the region's sunlit vineyards, charming villages, and historical treasures, E-Trike Tours combines the joy of exploration with an eco-conscious ethos.

About E-Trike Tours: A Passion for Sustainable Travel
Darren Hooper, CEO of E-Trike Tours, transformed his life from corporate HR suits to a sun-soaked adventure of a lifetime. His travels led to the discovery of an electric trike—a fun, practical, and eco-friendly travel companion that inspired a vision. Recognizing the untapped potential for cycling holidays using E-Trikes, Darren set out to create something entirely new.
While Australia’s vast, open landscapes posed challenges for multi-day cycling holidays, Southern France became the ideal destination for this revolutionary travel concept. The rolling countryside, historic towns, and culinary delights of Provence make it the perfect backdrop for E-Trike Tours’ mission: to deliver engaging, culturally rich, and sustainable travel experiences.
Launching in Avignon in 2025, E-Trike Tours is redefining cycling holidays with electric-assisted trikes that are safe, comfortable, and equipped for effortless exploration.
