E-Bike in the Backroads of Cascais and Sintra

Quiet countryside trails, coastal panoramas, and the freedom of a top-quality electric bike — all in a small group.


This Cascais and Sintra e-bike tour takes you away from the tourist crowds and into the serene backroads that connect two of Portugal's most celebrated coastal and mountain destinations. With a small group of no more than six riders, every pedal stroke feels personal and unhurried.

Your guide picks you up directly at your address in Cascais, so there is no need to navigate to a meeting point or worry about logistics. From the moment you set off, the route weaves through peaceful countryside paths before looping back along the dramatic Atlantic coastline.

The bikes are equipped with Bosch motors and Shimano groupsets, delivering smooth and reliable assistance across varied terrain. Whether you are a seasoned cyclist or a casual rider, the electric assist makes moderate climbs and longer distances genuinely accessible.

Keeping the group small — a maximum of six participants — means you receive attentive guidance, have space to set your own rhythm, and experience the landscape without the noise and congestion of larger tour groups.
