Overview

The idea of taking an electric bike tour in Rio was born from my passion for cycling and my love for the city where I chose to live. After several days of pedaling through the forest with a normal bicycle, I began to wonder how it would be possible to make this experience viable for many more people. This is how I came up with the idea of buying electric bicycles capable of assisting those who need them along the way. (the bicycles are pedal assisted, have no accelerator and are not a motorcycle) During this experience you will have the opportunity to get to know many wonderful places, not very accessible and less known. At the end of the day you will have a different image of Rio de Janiero, and you will know much more about how the city is composed and structured. In addition to this you will be in constant contact with nature, with possible and probable encounters with toucans, monkeys and many other exotic animals.

Meeting points

The easiest and fastest way to reach the meeting point is by taking an uber or a taxi. Maximum delay tolerance: 20 minutes

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Santa Teresa

    We will meet at Rua Aarão Reis 105, where I will show you how electric bicycles work and give you advice on how to tackle the tour. We will start cycling through the Santa Teresa neighborhood in the direction of Mirante Dona Marta, passing through various tourist points such as the Castelo Valentim, the Mirante Dos Prazeres, and the CEAT school, inspired by the old palace in Florence.

    35 minutes

  • Mirante Dona Marta

    We will arrive at Mirante Dona Marta, one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the city, where we will park the bikes and take various photos with a view of Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf and I will explain how the city is structured.

    30 minutes

  • Centro De Visitantes Paineiras

    From the Mirante Dona Marta we will head to the Centro de Vistante Paneiras (Christ the Redeemer car park), where there is a bathroom and a bar to take a break.

    20 minutes

  • Alto da Boa Vista

    From the Centro de Vistante Paneiras we will start the cycle path inside the roads of the Tijuca forest. We will pass by numerous incredible views of the wonderful city, we will have possible encounters with monkeys, toucans and other exotic animals. We will reach the Alto da Boa Vista district by descending from Corcovado (the mountain where Christ the Redeemer is located), where there will be the opportunity to go to the bathroom and freshen up.

    40 minutes

  • Emperor's Table

    From the Alto da Boa Vista district we will resume our tour in the direction of the emperor's table, facing another climb that will be made less tiring with the help of pedal assistance. The Emperor's Table is where Emperor Dom Pedro II used to picnics, with an incredible view of the southern area of Rio de Janeiro.

    20 minutes

  • Chinese View

    From the Table of the Emperor we will begin to descend towards the Vista Chinesa, one of the most famous and least accessible viewpoints in the city. From here it will be possible to see Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf, Lagoa, Ipanema, Guanabara Bay and many other places in the city. I will take several souvenir photos and we will start the last descent to Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas.

    20 minutes

  • Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon

    From the Vista Chinesa we will go down towards Lagoa, passing through the Horto waterfalls (place where it will be possible to stop to take pictures and take a quick bath) and to the side of the Rio Botanical Garden. We will ride a good part of the Lagoa cycle path, where there are various incredible views of Rio, towards Copacabana.

    30 minutes

  • Copacabana Beach

    We will arrive south of Copacabana beach and we will cover the entire cycle path towards Botafogo.

    20 minutes

  • Botafogo Beach

    From Copacabana we will follow the cycle path and reach the Botafogo beach, where there will be a spectacular view of the Sugar Loaf.

    15 minutes

  • Aterro Do Flamengo

    From the beach of Botafogo we will continue the cycle path that will take us to the most beautiful and famous park in Rio, the terro do Flamengo. We will cover it almost entirely, passing alongside the Flamengo beach, and we will return to the starting point, Santa Teresa, facing the last climb of the day.

    25 minutes

  • Largo dos Guimaraes

    We will arrive in Santa Teresa passing through the most famous and touristic street of the neighborhood, where I will show you botiques and restaurants. From Largo dos Guimaraes we will go to the starting point (a few meters away) where the tour will end.

    10 minutes

Absolutely amazing

Published on Feb, 2025

Absolutely amazing all the way through. Stefano was a fantastic guide and safely guided me through Rio, and it was a perfect way to see a lot of the city - sites you probably wouldn’t have seen otherwise. I highly recommend doing this as some of the first in Rio to get to know the city better.

Great day out. For people...

Great day out. For people who love to ride this ride is for you. It’s fun, challenging and breathtaking. Monkeys included. Stefano the tour leader is wonderful

A Very Unique, But The Best Way To See Rio!

Published on Sep, 2024

We spent the most amazing 7 hours with Stefano on his "long" tour. I was initially a little apprehensive because I've never been on an e-bike before. But I needn't have worried. Stefano was so patient throughout the tour, making sure I was comfortable on the bike, providing clear instructions, and guiding with the upmost care. He took a portfolio of pictures and videos for us so we can just simply enjoy our ride and Rio! Stefano was humorous - told us funny stories and a nature lover - very knowledgeable of the floral & fauna. In 7 hours, he gave us the most comprehensive tour of Rio - the hip Santa Teresa, many beautiful lookout points and quiet areas in Tijuca NP, and all the famous beaches. His bikes are in great condition. In the end, not only we got some exercises, we also felt we were just riding and hanging out with a friend, and not on a pedestrian touristy tour!

The tour was really nice,...

Published on Jul, 2024

The tour was really nice, would especially recommend if you like to cycle and be in nature. It offers great views of Rio. We even saw some toucans.

10/10

Published on Jun, 2024

Stefano was an oustanding guide - so friendly, knowledgeable on the area and good fun. I'd highly recommend doing this tour early in your Rio stay as you get to see pretty much all of the city. Bikes were great and I thoroughly enjoyed it. You will need to have a little bit of fitness and some familiarity with cycling.
