In recent years, the sale and subsequent use of ebikes have increased exponentially. Whether it's an urge for nature, a need for social distancing, or a desire to combine discovery and outdoor living, pedal-assisted bicycles are conquering the hearts and legs of people who, until a while ago, would never have set off on a bike trip.

The advantages, at least in our eyes, are evident and undisputed, among our targets is to bring as many people as possible closer to the world of active holidays and sustainable tourism. Which is why we have decided, from the very beginning, to select and include among our proposals the best ebike tours in Italy and Europe.

If you have never had this experience, here we explain why you should try it now!

Why going on an ebike tour is always a good idea:

Cycle tourism with an electric bike offers numerous advantages for people and the environment, as well as being the perfect way to discover new places in an immersive way, reaching even the most hidden corners and not ending up exhausted at the end of the day, thus keeping the desire to get back in the saddle the next day high.

1. The electric bike is the most green and democratic means of transport there is

A super smart means of transport, the ebike allows people of every age and physical shape to leave the car in the garage for city movement, but also to explore new more or less distant destinations. Quickly adopted by cyclists and bike tourists as the means of choice, the electric bike really allows everyone to experience the unique experience of a bike trip, ensuring the same dose of fun for everyone, even when pedaling with those who are in better shape than us and travelling free from the weight of the obsessive "will I make it?". All this with zero emissions.

2. Against wind and climbs are no longer scary

Is the journey of your dreams to a not exactly flat destination? Afraid of adverse weather with wind to counter with pedal strokes? Or would you like to measure yourself against an iconic journey, such as the Camino de Santiago, the Via Francigena, or the magnificent GT20, which crosses all of Corsica from North to South, but you don't have enough time or training to cover the most challenging sections? Deciding to tackle the journey on an ebike could be the solution.

3. You stay fit while travelling

The idea that no effort is made on an ebike is a myth. The assisted pedalling multiplies our push on the pedals, it doesn't replace it. Which means that in the presence of climbs you will still have to use your muscles, but the effort to cover a certain distance will be significantly less than that used with a muscle bike. The result? More miles covered, no muscle overloads at the end of the day, remaining energy to enjoy the evenings and still no guilt for having tasted those local specialties, which are still part of the journey.

4. You can measure the level of effort

If on flat ground and downhill you can always choose to pedal in off mode, thus using your ebike like a normal muscle bike (remember however that the weight of an electric bike is significantly heavier than that of a normal bike), it is possible to gradually switch from the Eco mode to the more powerful one, depending on the difficulty of the route and your own level of tiredness. However, consider that the higher the level of assistance you select in pedal assist, the more energy will be consumed: to keep in mind especially in case there are no charging points along your route.

5. Guaranteed fun

The time when electric bikes were less attractive designs, which rarely met the favor of the most demanding cyclists, is over. Today there are really many types of ebikes ranging from touring models, to e-mountain bikes to electric racing bikes, including e-gravel, thus guaranteeing comfort and fun to everyone. And allowing us to offer you the most comfortable and suitable means for the itinerary you choose to follow.

Now you really have no more excuses: on Cyclando you will find hundreds of bike trips all over Europe, accessible by both muscle bike and ebike. Choose the one for you and set off for a zero-emission holiday!
