Half Day Private E-Bike Tour in Rio

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.
