e-MTB riders welcome

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

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

We 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 really opens up a whole new world of mountain biking in Spain, the mountains and natural trails become a bigger playground for avid mountain bikers.
