OUR GEAR

HYBRID BIKES
Hybrid bikes serve many purposes. They're great for keeping fit, urban commuting, adventure, leisure, and more. And each one is designed to provide a comfortable and fun riding experience.
They come equipped with a cyclometer, handlebar case or panniers, lock and water bottle.
 

ELECTRIC BIKES
An E-Bike (Electric Bicycle) is a bicycle with an integrated electric motor that can be used for propulsion. This is perfect for those who want to cycle in Portugal from north to south without breaking a sweat!
 

ROAD BIKES
The road bike we offer is a carbon fibre fitness bike designed for riders who want the speed of an ultralight road bike combined with the comfort and control offered by straight handlebars.

TANDEM BIKES
Great for partners of unequal riding ability. You can both ride as hard or easy as you want and nobody has to wait, ever.

*The bikes are supplied with flat pedals. If you prefer, we can fit your snap-on pedals to the bike you will be using.


SMARTPHONE / GPS
Since the beginning, Portugal A2Z has believed that new technologies add value when travelling, making our tours an easier, safer and more knowledgeable experience. All our tours are geo-referenced, and our guests are invited to use their Smartphones or GPS to travel at their own pace and track where they are at all times.
If you don't have a Smartphone or GPS, Portugal A2Z has the following devices at your disposal:

 

ULEFONE ARMOR X3

HELMETS
Helmets are mandatory on all our cycling tours, and we recommend you bring your helmet. If you don't want to do so, we can provide you with a helmet during the tour, when available.
Alternatively, you can choose to purchase a new helmet with our fun Portugal A2Z logo on it!
