Self Guided Ebike Tour in Sintra

Highly recommended, the bikes were well maintained, the guys explaining with patience how to use the bike and where to go are thumbs up, they offer several paths and once the path is on the phone is very easy to follow. We had a great experience!

Excellent bikes, virtually brand new. Came with extra battery. Super helpful staff, who set us up to have an incredible day. Handy pick up location. Easy to operate bikes (never ridden a e-bike). We flew up the hills past the exhausted walkers and jammed cars, buses and tuk tuks. Went anywhere and everywhere on a whim. No uber hassles or full buses for us! The best way to visit the monuments, in particular the further afield monuments such as Monserrate Palace, Convent dos Capuchos and beyond. Easy breezy fun and complete freedom from what can be tricky transport logistics of Sintra Park. Highly recommend, this is MUST DO!!

An unforgettable experience... explained the routes and functioning of the electric bikes, very friendly staff. We made the route to the Atlantic from 10 am to 5 pm...the beautiful views..

We booked two ebikes from Park E Bike in Sintra and drove through the beautiful woods with Praia da Adraga as our destination. We made a lunch stop in Colares, a beautiful little town. I can only recommend booking the full day to really have time to enjoy your ride. Handling the bikes was really easy and made exploring Sintra so much fun! The feeling of freedom you get from biking through the landscape by yourself cannot be matched by a bus tour or uber drive. Thanks again for the great experience!

Our family of 5 rented electric bikes in Sintra for a half day. We did the king of the hill ride. Electric bikes are the way to go due to the hills. Lots of fun. The owner and staff were very helpful and gave us great recommendations. Would do it again!

The tour was very varied. Hills, mountains and ocean. The view of the sea was a highlight. The first part of the tour was busy with a lot of traffic but that is the only way to get into the quiet part of the tour. For us this tour was a great combination with our visit to Lisbon. The landlord thought along with us and explained how the bike worked and the tour app. A friendly person.

Cycling Sintra was a beautiful ride. It’s like riding through the Pacific Northwest, the California coast, and Napa Valley all in one loop. My wife and I rented our 4-inch wheeled e-bikes for the day and rode the 24 mile self-tour Atlantic route which took us up to the Sintra castles and parks, and then through vinyards to the ocean and through several coastal towns. There is 2500 ft of gain, so the climbs were significant. But the e-bikes had enough torque to make the hills manageable. The only drawback was that my bike’s battery was threatening exhaustion less than two-thirds of the way through the trip — just as we reached the steepest and hilliest part of the ride. From the start we made a point of not using more than power level 3 out of 5 when climbing steep sections and mostly stayed in levels 1 or 2 the balance of the time. So the battery indicator dropping to 2 out of 5 bars 10 miles from completion caused anxiety. (The outfitter did provide a battery charger with the bike, but didn’t want to stop and ask a local merchant if we could plug into their electric service). In the end, we conserved our batteries by riding mostly in power level 1 the remaining part of the ride.

Unfortunately, the national forest was closed due to the threat of forest fires so that changes the experience and the review somewhat. My husband and I did the modified ride to the coast and then a modified King of the Hill up towards Pena Palace (which was also closed). Despite these setbacks, the ride was fun! The navigation app was fabulous and we were hardly ever lost (and then not lost for long). It was our first experience on e-bikes and Sintra was a good place to try them. Very hilly! Organization was good and Martin quick to answer emails for organizing the rides and making suggestions for alternate rides when our first choices were not available.

We had a terrific day! Took a few minutes to figure out the navigation but once we got out of the town it was a magical experience. The route kept us away from busy streets and we often had the road to ourselves up and down the mountain and to the ocean. I highly recommend!

The experience was great! We arrived early and got greeted by a very friendly employee that was able to tell us everything about the bike, the tours and the roads. The bikes worked very well, easy to setup and get used to. Also with quite a good electric power punch (which you needed for some steep climbs). The route we took was awesome (the epic route that will take you a day). We wanted to view Pena first, so we took a small detour first but we're able to complete the whole tour anyways. Just be careful with with the wet stone road up and down from Pena. When it's wet it can be somewhat slippery there, but to no fault of the rental company ofc. They told us about this in advance which was very nice.
