The Sorrento Peninsula is one of the best places in southern Italy to explore by e-bike. The terrain — steep lemon-terraced hillsides, narrow lanes threading through ancient villages, dramatic coastal roads above the Tyrrhenian Sea — would be punishing on a regular bicycle, but with an electric motor handling the climbs, it becomes genuinely enjoyable for riders of all fitness levels. Five guided e-bike tours now depart from Sorrento, operated by Sorrento Bike (established 1998) on premium BH brand e-bikes. This guide covers every option, from a €70 three-hour ride to a €250 full-day experience that includes lunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant.

2. Traditional Flavours E-Bike Tour — €150
A four-hour ride focused on the artisan food traditions of the peninsula. The route takes you through a lemon grove — where you learn about the cultivation of the famous sfusato amalfitano lemon — and on to a small family dairy where Provolone del Monaco D.O.P. cheese is produced.

3. Massa Lubrense E-Bike Tour — €130
This three-hour ride heads south from Sorrento to Massa Lubrense, one of the most picturesque and least-touristed towns on the peninsula.

- Duration: 3 hours

4. Amalfi Coast E-Bike Tour — €90
The most dramatic scenery of any tour on this list. You ride the legendary SS163 Amalfitana — the cliff-hugging coastal road that connects Sorrento to Positano and beyond. The route includes panoramic viewpoints high above the sea and ends with free time in Positano to explore the village, swim, or grab a coffee before the return ride.
- Price: €90 per person
- Duration: 3 hours
- Difficulty: Medium
- Departure: 08:30 or 16:30 from Viale Nizza 37, Sorrento
- Availability: Every day
What's included: E-bike rental, helmet, water, guide, and free time in Positano.
Best for: Riders who want the iconic Amalfi Coast experience on two wheels. The afternoon 16:30 departure is particularly rewarding — golden hour light on the cliffs, cooler temperatures, and fewer cars on the road.

5. Hidden Sorrento Peninsula E-Bike Tour — €70
The most affordable option and arguably the most authentic. Instead of the main coastal road, this tour takes you along secret trails and historic alleyways that most visitors never discover. You ride through the quiet interior of the peninsula, past ancient farmhouses and overgrown stone walls, into the hidden corners of Massa Lubrense that even many locals rarely visit.
- Price: €70 per person
- Duration: 3 hours
- Difficulty: Medium
- Departure: 08:30 or 16:30 from Viale Nizza 37, Sorrento
- Availability: Every day
What's included: E-bike rental, helmet, water, and guide.
Best for: Budget-conscious travellers, repeat visitors who have already seen the main sights, and anyone who prefers quiet backroads over tourist routes. The 16:30 departure works well as an afternoon activity after a morning at the beach.

Fitness Levels — Which Tour Suits You?
The electric motor changes everything. These are not standard cycling tours where fitness determines your enjoyment. Here is an honest breakdown:
- Never ridden an e-bike: Start with Massa Lubrense (€130, Easy) or Traditional Flavours (€150, Easy). Both have gentle gradients and frequent stops. The guide sets the pace and the motor does the heavy lifting on every climb.
- Comfortable on a bicycle: All five tours are open to you. The Medium-rated tours (Amalfi Coast, Hidden Sorrento, Taste and Nature) include steeper sections and more sustained riding, but the pedal assist keeps the effort manageable.
- Experienced cyclist: Book the Amalfi Coast (€90) or Taste and Nature (€250) for the most varied terrain. You can reduce the assist level for a genuine workout on the climbs, or leave it on maximum and enjoy the scenery. The guides appreciate riders who can maintain a steady pace.
- Families with teenagers: Massa Lubrense (€130) and Hidden Sorrento (€70) work well. Minimum age is typically 14 for e-bike tours, and riders must be comfortable handling a bicycle independently.
What to Expect on the Day
You arrive at the Sorrento Bike shop on Viale Nizza 37 — a short walk from Piazza Tasso and the Circumvesuviana train station — 15 minutes before departure. The guide fits your e-bike to your height, adjusts the seat and handlebars, and gives a brief tutorial on the pedal assist system (three to five levels, controlled by a button on the handlebar). Helmets are distributed and you are shown the route on a map.
Riding is on a mix of paved roads, cobbled lanes, and occasional dirt paths depending on the tour. The guide leads from the front, stops frequently for photos and explanations, and adjusts the pace to the slowest rider. There is no pressure to keep up — the e-bike motor compensates for any difference in fitness. Water is available throughout the ride, and food stops (where included) are built into the schedule rather than rushed.
You return to the shop at the end of the tour. No cleaning or maintenance of the bike is expected — just hand it back and you are done.
