Details

Located in Pisa, Italy, Smile & Ride offers an exhilarating two-day E-MTB experience that redefines outdoor adventure in this region. Pisa is best known for its iconic Leaning Tower, but beyond the city lies a dynamic landscape of rolling hills, forested trails, and rugged dirt paths perfect for electric mountain biking. Smile & Ride’s E-MTB – 2 Giorni trip invites riders to navigate this varied terrain with the assistance of a high-performance electric bike featuring an 11-speed Shimano gear system and a suspension fork designed to smooth out rough sections. This bike eases climbs and controls descents, allowing riders to cover more ground while still challenging their skills on off-road singletracks and mixed surfaces.

The route’s terrain provides a direct connection to Tuscany’s wild side, with stretches weaving through olive groves and oak woodlands, alongside ancient stone walls and remnants of medieval farmhouses. This journey allows guests to appreciate the region’s natural and cultural heritage away from the usual urban crowds. The inclusion of essential gear like a reliable lock and a repair kit means riders can venture confidently, prepared for unexpected trail conditions or mechanical hitches.

Smile & Ride stands out not only for its premium equipment but also for its commitment to letting riders engage directly with the Tuscan outdoors in a way that balances adventure with accessibility. Whether you're an off-road enthusiast or seeking a unique way to experience Pisa’s surroundings, the E-MTB – 2 Giorni offers an immersive mix of physical challenge and scenic rewards, all grounded in the local landscape’s character. For outdoor travelers aiming to combine discovery with low-impact travel, Smile & Ride's electric mountain bike trips are a compelling addition to the regional outdoor recreation scene.

Adventure Tips

Check your tire pressure daily

Proper tire inflation improves handling on varied surfaces and prevents flats on rocky paths.

Wear layered clothing

Variable weather in Tuscany means starting cool in the morning and warming quickly by midday.

Ensure bike lock use when stopping

Always secure your E-MTB to prevent theft when taking breaks or visiting local spots off-trail.
