Pedal-assist mountain bike with front suspension and a removable battery: 70-80 km of range. Heavier, very stable off road.

Light, versatile pedal-assist bike, about 17 kg. Built-in battery; on request a second removable battery for long days.

Salento by bike, area by area
Quiet paved country roads, almost all flat. The only real climbs are on the southern coast. A few ideas to pick the right bike.
Grecìa Salentina
Calimera, Martano, Corigliano d'Otranto, Sternatia: Griko villages linked by lanes through the olive groves. Start from our Calimera point.
Adriatic coast: San Foca, Roca, Torre dell'Orso
Cliffs, watchtowers and coves. From San Foca, where pick-up is free, to the Sant'Andrea sea stacks and the Alimini lakes.
Otranto, Santa Cesarea, Castro
The most scenic coast in Salento, with short but real climbs. An e-bike is the smart choice here.
Ionian coast: Porto Cesareo, Gallipoli
Shallow sea and pine woods, more wind. Road or gravel, with bikes delivered on site.
Down to Santa Maria di Leuca
The tip of Salento. For a multi-stage trip with panniers we suggest the Checkpoint gravel or the Rockrider.
Inland and masserie
Dry-stone walls, pajare huts, ancient olive trees. Routes built around where you stay.
Pick-up and return
Four points with free pick-up and return, Lecce station included. Collect at one and drop at another. Or we bring the bikes to where you sleep.
Delivery to where you stay
We bring the bikes to your house, hotel or masseria and collect them at the end. The cost depends on distance and number of bikes: send us the address and we quote it before you confirm.
Every day from 9am to 7pm. Pick-up and return by appointment. You pay at pick-up: cash, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer.

Stupenda terra e gente … Disponibile anche a cambiare le date.
Con Salento Bike mi sono trovato molto bene … è venuto anche ritirare direttamente le bici al nostro alloggio.
We rented two Gravel for 2 days with Eugenio. Every thing was really easy and Eugenio really friendly.
Eugenio answers you
I am Eugenio Tommasi and I founded Salento Bike. I have ridden more than 30,000 km by bike. I answer your WhatsApp myself, suggest the bike and route for the riding you want, and when needed I deliver and collect the bikes where you stay.
