Trossachs Ebike Tours is a Callander, Scotland–based company offering guided electric bicycle experiences focused on Loch Katrine and the surrounding Trossachs. Tours combine shoreline cycling, forest tracks and local history. Highlights include the Loch Katrine Explorer, a lochside ride that visits Stronachlachar and explores the legacy of Rob Roy MacGregor; the Sail and Cycle Tour, which adds a historic cruise aboard the SS Sir Walter Scott and stops at Glengyle House and the Clan McGregor graveyard; the Goat Ice Cream Tour, which follows the north shore and Loch Achray before visiting Achray Farm to meet goats and sample artisan ice cream made with foraged and homegrown ingredients; and an Evening Tour that showcases quieter viewpoints, wildlife and local whisky and sweet treats.
Guides are local and provide historical context, route knowledge and safe ebike operation instruction. Routes use established lochside roads and forest tracks in the Trossachs National Park area. The business operates from Callander, providing direct access to Loch Katrine’s access points and the historic steamship on the loch.
