Scenic, non-technical, e-bike ride in the English Lake District

Scenic, low level, hardtail e-bike ride in the English Lake District (Grasmere, Rydal Water and Elter Water) using bridleways (roughly 50% off road) and minor roads where possible, for those who are young at heart but who don't fancy the more technical, high level routes; the routes that are readily available in books, magazines, youtube etc.

This ride is 27 miles long but can easily be shortened. A basic map showing the route is available at the end of the video.

The video pays particular attention to the terrain to ensure potential riders can judge if the route is suitable for their level of riding ability. I've put together this ride and several others (work in progress) as I've found a distinct lack of detailed information on rideable off road routes for those of us with mountain e-bikes (hardtail or full suspension) who want to enjoy an easier ride. I've spent considerable time walking bridleways to assess rideability as many are just not suitable for our needs or just overgrown!

The number of senior e-bike riders appears to be rapidly increasing and I'm hoping these routes will be useful to those visiting Cumbria and the Lake District and maybe even the local residents, like ourselves.
