E-Bikeweek Madeira east

Aiming high without endurance

E-Bikeweek

Experience Madeira´s west

A pleasure for all senses!

More Madeira is impossible!

Discover the west of Madeira on an e-bike. You drive on side roads, coasts and pass roads, take a break in the small coastal towns and have to stop again and again, because the views are so great.

High rocks separate the coastal villages from each other. Agriculture still plays an important role here and nowhere else can you experience Madeira more authentically.

They drive from their accommodation every day with their newly charged battery and are in the next hotel in the afternoon. You determine how fast you drive and how many breaks you want to take. You will receive a detailed route description from us as well as a navigation system with the GPS data.

With the e-bike, too, you pedal yourself and increase your fitness. The engine supports you whenever you want. Steep climbs, smaller climbs or headwinds - choose the support you need right now. You can also do the tour with a normal fully.

A short stop in Camãra de Lobos, the oldest fishing village on the island, continues to the next highlight, Cabo Cirão, the highest cliff in Europe. In Ribera Brava it is worth taking a stroll through the small, cozy town and continuing to Ponta do Sol.

Continue to the Encumeada Pass. Here you have a wonderful view of both the north and south coast. From now on it goes down to Ribera Brava. Here is time for a break, to watch the spectacle of the waves on the promenade or to take a short dip in the sea before the transfer bus picks you up.

Every Sunday in Santo da Serra there is an original farmers market. You will find a great range of seasonal exotic fruits, vegetables, wood-fired breads, homemade cakes, and much more. Nobody is neglected when it comes to eating either. At Tia Rita it is worth looking for a place between the locals. After visiting the church and Blandys Park, it is worth taking a photo stop at the golf course on the way back before returning to Caniço de Baixo.
