Tarka has electric his and her bikes for hire.

Tarka can now boast it has the most modern, integrated and attractive pedal-assist electric bike on the market. For modern aesthetes, aspiring eco-enthusiastic commuters and folks who crave the fun of bike riding without doing much of the work, The Giant's Twist Freedom DX hits the mark. A true hybrid, the Twist has no throttle. It relies on both pedal power and an unobtrusive yet sturdy 300-watt motor to set you on your way.

Giant's designers parlayed the bike's modern commuter vibe into two saddlebag-borne removable Li-ion batteries. These power sources fit vertically inside the bags and will provide a whopping 70-mile range over flat and somewhat rolling terrain while in Economy mode. So you can enjoy the scenery on the Tarka Trail all long without the strain.

No petrol, No parking problems, No traffic queues.

For just £40 (booked in advance) or £25 each bike hired on the day will give you a holiday experience to be remembered. As access to the Williamson inspired Tarka Trail is only across the road from the park. This unique 180 mile figure of eight walkway and cycle path offers our visitors the opportunity to explore and discover the meandering river ways of the Taw and the Torridge. To travel will ease through rolling farmland and wild moor land, or just picnic on the rugged coastline and sandy bays.

Tarka Holiday Park offers a full and comprehensive range of sizes for cycle hire. We chose to use "Giant" cycles, because Giant bicycles are recognized globally for their extraordinary achievement in quality and performance.

This achievement is the direct result of Giant long built commitment to designing and manufacturing bicycles that offer the best possible form and function and reliability.

We also have buggies
These child trailers are ideal for 9 month plus kids or younger babies secured into the trailer in a child seat. The main advantage of a trailer is that you can fit up to two 4 year olds comfortably, sheltered from the wind and rain.

Tag-a-longs
Which is basically a one wheeled attachment which gets towed behind an adult bike. Suitable for 4 to 9 year olds, this allows the child more independence and fulfillment whilst giving the parent peace of mind! and for the more adventures among you, why not try our Tandem.

Tandem cycling is a great way for two people of different abilities to cycle together. So let's dispel any myths surrounding tandems and tandem cycling. For those of you that will be sat on the back don't think you have got an easy ride because you have to pedal too. It is fair to say that with twice the riders comes twice the power, on the flat and down hills. Tandem riding is what you both make of it, for some it's a gentle ride around the country lanes with lunch at your favorite spot, for others, it is the inspiration to set off in search of adventure. People choose to ride tandems for many different reasons and the benefits of tandem riding are numerous, tandem riding is to experience the pleasure of cycling together irrespective of different fitness levels, it is romantic and fun.
