You push off from the promenade just past the Maspalomas Lighthouse; the sea smells of salt and diesel, the desert dunes to your right seem to breathe with each wind gust, and the e-bike’s motor quietly answers when you ask for help on the first climb.

You push off from the promenade just past the Maspalomas Lighthouse; the sea smells of salt and diesel, the desert dunes to your right seem to breathe with each wind gust, and the e-bike’s motor quietly answers when you ask for help on the first climb.
Gran Canaria is volcanic—black basalt under thin soils—shaped by eruptions and erosive wind. The southern shore bears traces of the Guanches, the island’s pre-Hispanic people: cave churches and stone house foundations dot the route. Maspalomas’ dunes are a protected reserve, while Ayagaures dam and its surrounding ravines show how freshwater was captured to feed local farms and banana plots.
This rental gives you choices: a mountain loop to Ayagaures (roughly 30 km with a sustained uphill half and a thrilling downhill return), or a coastal sweep to Arguineguin (30 km with steep coastal climbs and ocean views). Batteries advertise ~80 km but range varies with assistance level, load and slope. The operator supplies maps, a mobile phone mount with USB charging, roadside assistance in Maspalomas and a spray repair kit for longer outings.
Practical tips: start early to avoid midday heat, carry layered sun protection and at least 1.5 L of water, and respect weight limits (110 kg total) and rules—e-bikes are not for sand or off-road tracks. Expect a 6–8 hour outing if you follow suggested stops and include breaks; shorter loops are possible. A refundable deposit is required. With moderate fitness and basic bike handling you’ll cover dramatic coastlines and volcanic interior on an engine that quietly lets you choose how hard you want to work.
moderate.
6–8 hours.
Suitable for riders with basic endurance; expect sustained climbs—assistance helps but pedal power is required on steep sections.
Advertised autonomy is about 80 km; expect less with heavy loads, high assist, long climbs and headwinds—plan routes conservatively.
Riders must be at least 14 years old when accompanied by a paying parent; babies 1–6 years may use a supplied baby seat with weight/height limits (max 22 kg, 1.10 m).
No—the e-bikes are not suitable for sand or off-road tracks; stick to paved roads and firm paths to avoid damage and fines.
A refundable deposit of €100 is required per e-bike on the day; full refund for cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance.
The south of Gran Canaria preserves Guanche archaeological remains and cave structures; the Maspalomas Lighthouse (early 20th century) marks a maritime turning point for the growing tourist era.
The Maspalomas dunes are a protected natural reserve—ride only on authorized roads, avoid trampling dune vegetation and dispose of waste properly.
Bici Bike Vintage operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
