E-bike, mountain bike or gravel: which bike for the Canaries

The right bike makes the difference between a tiring day and an unforgettable one. Here is how to choose for the terrain of the Canary Islands.

E-bike and e-MTB: for everyone

Electric assistance flattens climbs and, above all, headwind, which in Fuerteventura is often the real effort. It lets groups with different levels ride together and covers longer distances. An e-MTB adds suspension and grip for volcanic tracks and stony descents.

Mountain bike: for those who like the effort

A traditional MTB is lighter and more direct. It is ideal if you ride regularly and want to feel every metre of the trail, especially on the singletracks of the volcanic north.

Gravel: for long distances

Fuerteventura has hundreds of kilometres of compact dirt roads. A gravel bike is fast on asphalt and keeps going when the road ends: perfect for crossing the island from coast to coast.

Our advice

If you are unsure, choose an e-MTB: it adapts to almost any route. In our Fly & Drive you can choose between MTB, e-MTB and gravel, and in the tour of northern Fuerteventura between MTB and e-MTB.
