Overview
Discover this wonderful part of the world on an e-bike tour that gives you a comprehensive and immersive insight into Bali’s culture, traditions, and natural diversity.
This week-long trip will let you explore three distinct sides of the Balinese landscape. Gently glide by tranquil rice paddies and quaint countryside villages before exploring Mt. Batur's volcanic slopes with the help of pedal assist. Heading to the eastern coastline, traverse the black sandy beaches while admiring the rugged cliffs. Embrace all this natural diversity as you cycle along comfortable roads carefully picked for their gentle inclines and lack of obstacles.
Along the way, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to learn about local culture and traditions as you observe the roles spirituality and cuisine play in the daily routines of village life. Our expert guide will help unpack the various rituals and practices you’ll encounter, and you'll get to immerse yourself in local life with village-based activities organized with the surrounding communities.
The Riding - 207km / 129mi total: Aside from some short, tactical transfers to negotiate the hilly volcanic landscape and traffic, this e-bike tour of Bali features an itinerary that offers a pleasant ride, while keeping the challenges achievable. We use e-bikes to assist on Bali's undulating terrain this allows you to best enjoy the amazing landscapes, giving you time to appreciate the views and the warm greetings of those you encounter.
We do come across some steep ridges to reach the next descent from the volcanoes, but our use of e-bikes and some strategic transfers allow us to enjoy the elevation without sacrificing the legs, and there are plenty of downhill sections to enjoy. In terms of surfaces, we’ll be riding along narrow village roads specially designed to avoid traffic. There will be plenty of single-file riding as we skirt along farming fields, but these are of generally good quality, and we shouldn’t encounter too many bumps along the way.
We approach each day with a slow and easygoing pace, meaning this e-bike tour should be accessible to everybody. Turn down the pedal assist power if you feel like challenging yourself, and turn it up when you would like some extra help on steep segments. There is always the safety net of an air-conditioned vehicle on hand if you would like a break from the bike.
