Read on to find out where to rent different types of bikes in Ericeira.

Electric Town Bikes

Take Off e-Bikes

This is our favorite bike shop in town. We often decide on a whim to rent a few bikes and ride down to the next beach for ice cream and sand between our toes. Paulo is always there and his equipment is always in excellent shape. All his electric bikes have a basket on the front, or a rack on the back, and come with a lock and helmet. You can also rent an electric scooter here, a mountain bike, a bike trailer for very young kids, a child seat, or a surfboard rack for your Ericeira bike rental.

One of the best parts of this shop is that the pick-up and drop-off are right in town, so if you’re staying in town, no need to drive anywhere before or after your ride or tour. We love that Paulo the owner receives every single customer and fixes all the bikes himself, providing clients with the safest bikes in town! He has affordable options and his site is user-friendly. We have frequently rented as a family here and have always had stellar experiences.

Located slightly north of Ribeira d’Ilhas, this bike shop rents out both regular mountain bikes and e-mountain bikes. A variety of bikes and suspensions are on offer here and rentals either include a GPS guide, or a personal private guide. Rentals here are daily and all come with a small repair kit for your convenience. Here some interesting tours are on offer which will take you to beaches and cliffs further away from Ericeira. This professional company caters best to adults wanting to explore the regional trails on their own or join a tour to a different part of the Portuguese coast.

Seaside Bike Ericeira

If you would like to explore the beaches on an e-mountain bike in Ericeira as a family this is the best option around. We love that they have e-mountain bikes for kids and grade all the different trails for your convenience. You can request a bike for the hours of the day which suit your group best since visitors often have other activities such as surfing lessons and only wish to bike a few hours during the day. Their prices are hourly and always include a helmet and a self-guided tour. Prices are reasonable and the equipment is some of the best in town. Rentals here are recommended when wanting to ride the trails South of Ericeira since the pick-up and drop-off point is at Foz de Lizandro beach.

Bike Rental in Ericeira Delivered to your Accommodation

Ericeira Bike

This is a great choice if you’d like a bike for a few days to check out different trails in the area. Things need to be booked ahead of time though since there is no physical shop. The minimum rental time is 3 days though so keep this in mind when booking. This company will conveniently deliver your bike to your accommodation but charges extra for locations outside the Ericeira area. Safety is always an important factor here, and equipment is always clean and up to date. All rentals come with a helmet, spare tube, air pump, tire levers, and a bike lock. This is a great option for experienced bikers since the region around Ericeira is fairly hilly and will demand quite a bit of endurance when going back up inclines. They also offer an interesting wine tasting tour which is lots of fun.
