This Tuscany e-bike trip requires a good fitness level and mountain biking experience. You’ll cover distances ranging from 32 km (20 mi) to 60 km (37 mi) over seven consecutive days, with 900 m (2,950 ft) to 1,500 m (4,921 ft) elevation gain. You can always choose to extend your ride if you’d like more time in the saddle.

The rides near Siena include a mix of double-track, dirt roads, and singletrack, while the rest of the trip features singletrack accessed by short climbs on asphalt or gravel roads. Most trails are cross-country style, with a mix of rooty and rocky sections, and they can be soft or muddy in wet conditions.

To make the most of this trip, you should be comfortable climbing and descending in control on mildly steep singletrack with some loose rocks, roots, and compact dirt. If you’ve been consistently mountain biking for at least one year and are eager to improve your skills, you’re ready for this trip!
