E-bike rentals and tours, Val di Chiana

Ride between the villages!

The bike takes the hill.

The Val di Chiana is full of white gravel roads you'd normally just drive past. With pedal assist you can ride them in a morning, no training and no coming home wrecked.

Three worries we take off your hands.

Bikes always serviced

Every bike comes back to the workshop at night and heads out checked in the morning: brakes, tyre pressure, battery charged. No one leaves on a bike we haven't looked at that day.

Routes we've ridden ourselves

Every route you'll find here we've pedalled on the same bike we hand you, so we know where the surface gets rough and where it's worth stopping.

Help out on the route

If you stop, you call; we answer while you're on the road and, if need be, we come get you in the van. The number is +39 0575 83 12 47, the same one as the shop, reachable after hours too for an emergency on the route.

Three steps, then you're rolling.

1

Pick a route

Distance and climbing are right there on the card, they don't turn up after you book. Decide whether you're up for a half day or a full one.

2

Send the request

You fill in the request and send it. No credit card and no deposit online; it's only on when we confirm.

3

Pick up at the shop

We set the saddle and bars to your height and walk you through the assist levels before you leave the yard. Bring an ID: the deposit is €120, returned when you bring the bike back.

Three routes, and we've done all three.

A half day toward Lucignano, a full day between Lucignano and Foiano, and a route built for families with kids. We publish the distances and the climbing in full, not by guesswork.

Half day toward Lucignano

The short one, the ride that fits in a morning and leaves your afternoon free. 24 km, 310 m of climbing, about three hours in the saddle. Almost all gravel, with a short paved stretch leaving the village; it runs through Lucignano and the vineyard hills around it.

Book this route

Full day between Lucignano and Foiano

The long one, with a stop halfway. 48 km, 620 m of climbing, about six hours including stops. Half gravel and half back-road tarmac, between Lucignano and Foiano della Chiana; lunch is in Foiano, at a village trattoria.

Book this route

Family route

Built for anyone with kids in a bike seat or on a trailer. 18 km, 90 m of climbing, about two hours including stops. Suggested from age 4 in a bike seat, from 8 to pedal on their own along a short stretch; just one crossing of an open road, signposted and low-speed.

The price is right here, not inside the form.

We want you to know what you're spending before you write your name anywhere. Two trekking e-bike models, in three sizes (S/M/L), with a child seat on request. Half day €40, full day €60, deposit €120 returned when you bring it back; helmet, lock and repair kit are always included.

Not sure of your size? Call us and we'll sort it out over the phone.

guided tours in the 2025 season

Forty guided tours in the 2025 season.

Forty times we set off with the group and came back with the group. The notes you read on the cards come from that, not from a downloaded track.

What people ask us on the phone.

Six questions, the real ones. The answers are right below, opening one at a time.

Three fields, and a real person answers.

Date, how many bikes, which route. If you don't know the size or you need a child seat, put it in the notes and we'll sort it at pickup. We don't ask for a credit card; this is a request, not a payment.

Non è un pagamento. Ti rispondiamo entro un'ora, negli orari di apertura.

The shop, the hours, the number.

If you'd rather book by talking, call. The person on the phone is the one who hands you the bike. We're open every day 8 to 19, March through October, closed Tuesdays.
