2.Electric Mountain Bike Rental Tenerife

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 67 reviews · 1 day (approx.)

You receive a Bosch-powered electric mountain bike for roughly one day, delivered to hotels and apartments in Costa Adeje, Las Americas, or Los Cristianos. Set your own route, ride at your pace, and arrange help by phone or WhatsApp. Delivery timing must be arranged in advance.

“Can't rate the experience really as there wasn't one. Viator let 4 of us book bikes and pay for them only for no bikes to be available so we were left waiting for an update that never came. Had to contact them in the end to be told to contact the provider directly who then told us there was no bikes available and no record of the 4 of us booking. Surely there should be a way of not allowing a booking if there's no availability? Still awaiting refund.”

The young Spanish/American woman that helped us was very informative showing us and explaining the different route options we could go on. Great job on your second day and all the best for your future. We would high recommend using this service as it’s a great way to see a lot more than you would otherwise walking.”
