E-Bike the Sorrento Peninsula: Coastal Views, Lemon Groves & Hidden Vistas

The Experience
Before You Go
Helmet Provided — Still Bring Sunscreen
The tour includes a helmet (casco) but you’ll want high-SPF sunscreen and sunglasses for the open coastal exposure.
Hydrate for Hills
Carry at least 1–1.5 liters of water; e-assist helps, but coastal climbs and sun can dehydrate you quickly.
Morning Starts Beat Traffic
Begin early to avoid narrow-town traffic and peak heat on the exposed cliffside roads.
Watch for Local Vehicles
Coastal lanes are shared with scooters and cars — signal clearly and take the lane on blind bends when necessary.
