Park E Bike electric bicycle rentals and tours are all about offering cyclists and non-cyclists alike the unique opportunity and the freedom to silently explore the undiscovered in one of the most charismatic locations in southern Europe.  

One of of goals is to really promote clean, sustainable transport that is viable to all types of travelers visiting the UNESCO heritage site of Sintra: e-Bikes! On a recent Park E Bike day trip a client told us that in the 5 years he has lived in Portugal he had never seen so much of Sintra as on his e-bike day trip: "I love the sense of freedom, there were things I had never even noticed".

We have had a lot of people ask us what an E-Bike is really all about - Is it not cheating? Where is the throttle? How fast can I go? Here's what you need to know.

In short, the E Bike makes hilly rides accessible to unseasoned riders, and allows seasoned riders to enjoy all the fun of cycling, without breaking a sweat - which is great if you want to visit multiple destinations on your day out without walking around in your cycle gear!  I say this as a seasoned mountain biker who loves nothing more that hitting the Sintra trails.

Our electric bicycles have been very carefully chosen to be easy and comfortable to ride along the scenic but sometimes steep and windy roads around Sintra.  With a low centre of gravity and wide, 26" tires, our e-Bikes offer a great cycling experience to riders of any level.

Why go electric?  Because it's fun, clean and easy!  The added power means you can easily cover any of our tour routes in a day, allowing plenty of time to visit the beautiful parks, palaces and monuments in between - all without breaking a sweat.

Sintra: a UNESCO World Heritage site, one of the most attractive royal towns in Portugal and certainly one of the most popular destinations.  

When the monarchs first put Sintra on the map, in their bid to escape the summer heat of Lisbon, cars were not even a distant dream - today they can be a real world nightmare in the town center.

If you are visiting from Lisbon for the day, consider taking a train to Sintra and going on foot instead of driving.  

If walking is not your favorite thing, you can always take the 434 bus to visit the beautiful Pena Palace and Moorish castle. Be warned that in summer time the 434 bus queue can be such that some visitors have to wait for the next bus.

Without any doubt though, the most environmentally conscious way to explore is on foot.

But the most enjoyable way to cover the distance between the parks and palaces is by bicycle! With an electric assisted E-bike, you get the all the fun and freedom of cycling without the effort of pedal pushing up the hills of Sintra, and you will have no trouble at all to find parking.  Enjoy!

Riding an E-bike in Sintra has more great things to recommend it than we can list but here are 5 excellent reasons to get pedaling an E-Bike in Sintra:

1 Good Weather Guarantee
Although we can't make the weather, we can make sure you only ride on a day that suits your taste: book anytime and if by 9:00 the morning of your booked E-Bike Rental or Day Trip tour you let us know you would prefer to take a rain check, we will fully refund you - Guaranteed!

2 Don't wait for the tourist bus
Save your patience, time and the environment and ride an E Bike instead of taking the Sintra tourist bus.  The Park E Bike office is just meters away from the  bus stop - drop by and ride a bike around Sintra instead.  It's not just better for the environment, it's way more fun too.

3 Beat the ticket queue
Buy a combined or single ticket at the Park E Bike counter in the clock tower in Sintra and jump the queue at any of the following Parks, Palaces and Monuments:

• National Palace 
  
• Pena Palace and Park 
  
• Moorish Castle 
  
• Monserrate Park and Palace 
  
• Chalet da Condessa D'Edla
