The Etna basic e-bike tour starts from Rifugio Ragabo and takes you to explore the volcano in an easy and adventurous way. Riding your e-mtb you will ride through the centuries-old Ragabo pine forest until you get to see the last major eruption of 2002 and then descend in the direction of a lava flow cave. At this spectacular place we will make a stop and visit inside the cave. Then we get back on our e-bikes and return to our starting point.

You can reserve your e-bike directly through our website. You can use the forms shown to send us an inquiry. We will try to respond to your request within 1 hour.

The office is located in Linguaglossa. You can then rent your e-bike here. Our tours depart either from our office or from Rifugio Ragabo on Mount Etna volcano (Etna Nord). It is also possible to rent a bike from the Ragabo Shelter, but only upon request and reservation.
It is also possible to rent bikes at other locations upon request. For example, we can bring your bike to the accommodation where you are staying! For this we ask a small extra charge.
We rent our e-bikes every day, all year round. Here are the opening hours of our office in Linguaglossa, but you can email us any day of the week, send us a message via WhatsApp, or use our website to submit an inquiry!
If you want to rent an e-bike for a weekend, you can pick it up on Friday evening at 7 pm. The e-bike can be returned on Monday morning at 9 a.m.
Rain poses no problem for e-bikes because these vehicles are designed to optimally resist water splashes. Riding off-road in the rain usually leads to an unpleasant result: the bike and the biker get dirty and wet as hell. So in a preventive way and for safety the tour is moved or cancelled.
If you have no way to get to the departure point independently, we can offer pick-up and drop-off, at your facility, ask for a quote when booking.
It is important that on the day of the tour, you have the right clothing according to the seasonality and the altitude point you will set to reach according to the tour description.
The ‘minimum equipment needed to be admitted to the tour is this:
You can bring a change of clothes, accessory or backpack to leave in the car if not needed during the tour.
It is not possible to insure damage caused to bicycles during rental; therefore, you will be 100 percent responsible for damage caused or theft–even of ancillary equipment–of what is delivered to you when you sign the contract.
When we go on a hike, you always receive a charged e-bike. Therefore, there is no need to recharge the e-bike during the tour.
If you rent the e-bike for multiple days, you will also receive the charger. You can then recharge the e-bike in your accommodation.
It is difficult to say exactly how long your e-bike battery will last because it depends on several things, the way you pedal, your weight, and the type of route you are taking. However, Bosch has an online tool that can give you a rough idea of how many miles you can travel: Bosch eBike Autonomy Assistant.
Although it is not necessarily your fault, you are responsible for damage to the e-bike, except for damage due to normal wear and tear. Therefore, treat the rental bike as if it were your own.
So, to begin with: electric bikes (or e-bikes) are not like mopeds; they are regular bikes that provide an “extra” to your pedaling. When they feel you are pushing on the pedals, the motor kicks in. You can adjust the motor assistance according to your needs, adding 25% (Power 1), 50% (Power 2), 100% (Power 3) or 150% (Power 4) Of your strength. The more you get help, the more you consume the battery. Usually you set the assistance to maximum when you are in a hurry or when the climb is very steep. Otherwise, a balance is sought between effort, speed and battery life.
The great thing about e-bikes is that you can enjoy the pleasure of pedaling (silence, freedom to stop when you want, mobility) without having to be an athlete. Thanks to the motor, you can get help when you need it (if you have traveled a long distance or if the climb is too steep), but still continue to exercise. You can get to work in a distant office without arriving sweaty, you can cover long distances at a reasonable speed (maintaining an average of 20-25 km/h), you can explore hills or mountains even if you are not an experienced cyclist.
Our electric bikes do not recharge while pedaling. To recharge the batteries, a standard charger connected to an electrical outlet, similar to that used to charge a cell phone, must be used.
If we expect the route to be particularly long or if there is a risk of running out of battery during the trip, we will provide you with an additional charger. In this way, you will have a chance to recharge your battery during a break to eat or have a drink at our tourist attractions.
