e-Fatbike Safari for a group
Guided e-fatbike safari for team wellbeing days
Wide tyres, electric assist and great terrain. On an e-fatbike safari you can ride forest trails easily but at a lively pace, and the electric assist evens out fitness differences, so the whole team stays together. All you need is to know how to ride a bike.
The safari is always tailored to your group's level and wishes: the route can follow roads or wind along forest trails. We recommend a two-hour safari, during which you'll usually ride for about 1 h 30 min – 1 h 45 min and cover 15–23 km, depending on the location and the group.
Groups of more than 16 can be split into two, and groups of more than 24 into three, based on riding level, so everyone gets an experience that suits them. Our guides are usually Teemu, Anni or Miika, who know the terrain well and have been leading tours for years.
Where do we ride?
We organise e-fatbike safaris widely across South-East Finland. The best trails are in Imatra and Savitaipale, but there are other great locations too:
- Imatra: varied forest trails, one of our favourite locations
- Savitaipale: the esker and kettle-hole terrain of Saimaa Geopark, with a Stone Age dwelling along the way
- Kouvola: the Käyrälampi area at Tykkimäki
- Repovesi National Park: the national park's trails and scenery
- Hamina: the Portimo trails
- Lappeenranta: starting from our rental point at the harbour, Satamatie 19
Tell us what you have in mind, and we'll plan a route that suits your group.
Bikes and equipment
We have 20 e-fatbikes in three sizes (S, M and L), so there's a suitable bike for everyone. Our models are the Tunturi eMax, Silverback S-Electro and Helkama FE10. The price includes the bike and a helmet.
For groups of more than 20 we rent additional bikes, and the maximum group size is 30. It's a good idea to check the availability of additional bikes well in advance.
Safaris are available all year round. In autumn, a safari in the dark by headlamp is an experience of its own: the forest falls quiet, the trail only shows in the beam of light, and the atmosphere is completely different from daytime. In winter, riding is possible weather permitting, and the snow conditions matter a lot – get in touch and we'll check the situation together.

In Lappeenranta you can enjoy a sauna on our sauna raft in summer and at the Pallo sauna all year round. We're also happy to look into sauna and meeting venues in other towns.
