e-MTB Riding in Spain

We love how electric bikes have allowed more people to enjoy mountain biking. Electric mountain bikes allow any rider to extend their limits and tackle hills that they would not on a regular MTB. If you are not sure about your bike fitness, please talk to us about our e-MTB holidays.

If you are a seasoned eMTB rider and want a bespoke experience we can create group e-MTB holidays, with an itinerary of superb, e-MTB-specific rides.

Ride electric mountain bikes on more challenging rides and have a specific range of rides designed for the e-MTBs with longer distances, more technical sections and ascents that we normally avoid on our regular mountain bike rides.  The choice of an electric mountain bike opens up a whole new world of mountain biking in Spain, the mountains and natural trails become a bigger playground for avid mountain bikers.
