Additional Information

The concept of organizing e-bike trips around Rio originated from my zeal for biking and my admiration for the city I consider home. My numerous days of bike rides through the woods led me to think that this experience could be shared by a wider audience. This thought sparked the decision to purchase e-bikes that could offer the required support to those who might need it on their journey (these e-bikes are pedal-assist with no throttling feature, they definitely aren’t motorcycles). During this journey, you’ll have the chance to visit fantastic and less traveled places. As the day ends, you will view Rio de Janiero from a new perspective while gaining a deeper understanding of the city’s structure and makeup. Besides, you’ll be constantly immersed in nature, increasingly likely to encounter toucans, monkeys and many other unique wildlife species.

  • Tour for adults only
  • Cycling experience (basic) and good balance are required

Brilliant bike ride and excellent guide - Brilliant bike ride. We have done many city rides all over the world and this was by far the best. The electric bikes helped with the hills and heat. Stefano was an excellent guide who looked after us and gave us very useful information about the area we were travelling through. Highly recommend.

Terrific fun - Great ride, understood the city from a higher perspective. Almost like a "secret road trip." Great views, good equipment.

An unforgettable bike ride - Stefano is an amazing guide and his knowledge of Santa Teresa and the surrounding Tijuca National Park seems unparalleled. An attentive guide, Stefano does his best to give you an unforgettable experience. The bikes are well maintained and the tour is really quite manageable without too much physical fitness.

BEST DAY EVER! - Being that it was our first time, visiting Rio, my husband and I were looking for an outdoor adventurous activity without crowds. We found the perfect tour here! From the beginning, Stefano was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. He is such a knowledgeable and welcoming guide. As an added bonus, he includes photos and video memories of your day together. Don’t hesitate to book this tour - it really is an incredible experience!

Excellent E-Bike tour with great views - Our e-bike tour in the Tijuca Forest in Rio was excellent. Stefan is a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and communicates well. He is also very aware of you as you are biking and always asking if you need anything and making sure that you are safe. The views on this tour are amazing. The views of Rio are as good as any view from Christ the Redeemer or Sugar Loaf and with fewer people! We are pretty experienced bike riders and own our own e-bikes, so the biking was OK for us, but there are some challenging hills and it helps if you do have some experience riding a bike! It is a very doable trip for someone of average physical ability, but be ready for a few somewhat challenging rides up a few hills, but worth the effort for the beautiful views! We even saw a couple of monkeys and Stefan was the one who spotted them! We highly recommend this bike tour. It was a highlight of our time in Rio.

An active way to discover Rio and its jungle - This is a very nice way to discover the city in a good half day. Recommended for active/sporty people as you get to climb up Rio’s hills. Stefano is very entertaining and will happily share his experiences as an adopted Carioca.
