In Amsterdam, the popularity of electric bikes is reshaping real estate trends.
People are now buying larger homes in previously distant areas, as e-bikes keep commute times low and make these areas more accessible.
So, why not bring this idea to the hotel game? 🤔
I've seen quite a few small hotels for sale in Portugal that can't really be marketed as beach hotels because they're too far from the shore.
They're about a 10-minute drive, 45-minute walk, or 15-minute bike ride away from the beach.
The area's hilly terrain makes it tough for most people to consider walking or biking there every day.
And forget it if you have children or the elderly with you.
But with an e-bike, this could be perfectly manageable!
This is not just a theory
Unbound is a glamping resort outside Amsterdam allows you to rent an e-bike and zip into the city center in just 20 minutes.
It's a great example of how e-bikes can seamlessly connect more remote locations with nearby hotspots or urban areas.
