BIKE RENTALS

Bike Rental

Riding a bicycle or cycling has numerous benefits, and while on vacation this relaxing vehicle allows you to ride smoothly along the well-known River Douro until the beach.

On our rent bike Porto shop, our enthusiastic team will give you suggestions on where you can go depending on your preferences, but keep in mind that you can discover Porto side and continuing going up the coast, or you can head south, through Gaia following the bike lane until Espinho or Ovar.

Since you will be riding in a mostly flat area, a bicycle with no help of electrical assistance is the ideal solution. Park your bike in front of the beach, lay down in the white sand and if you are feeling adventurous, try to go in the Atlantic Ocean. In case you are feeling hungry, just park your bike in front of the numerous restaurants along the coastline and enjoy amazing fresh grilled fish or sea food.

Electric bike rental

This innovative way of commuting is attracting more and more followers every day. With the electric bike rental possibility, you can forget the difficulties of going up the hills that compose Porto. The city is becoming increasingly more bike-friendly, and with the introduction of e-bikes there is no such thing as a too hard to get to a place in Porto.

In an era of sustainability and environmental awareness, it is never too much to remember that e-bikes leave a small carbon footprint, even smaller in Portugal, since over 40% of our energy comes from renewable sources.

And if you think that the electric bikes are just used to go up the hills, you must use them to go on flat areas… we have different models for the electric bike rental, and we recently invested on new KTM e bikes with a reliable bosh system and a long battery life so you can effortless explore much more areas of the city and its surroundings.
