E-Cycling in Italy
Effortless Adventure on the Strade Bianche
Gravel cycling through Italy’s iconic backroads is already an extraordinary experience — now, with e-bikes, it’s more accessible than ever.
Whether you’re seeking to keep pace with faster friends, enjoy the journey with less physical strain, or explore Italy’s varied terrain without the worry of overreaching, our e-gravel bike options offer the perfect balance of power and exploration.
What Is an E-Gravel Bike?
An e-bike looks and rides much like a traditional bike — lightweight, responsive, and built for varied surfaces like tarmac, hardpack, and the strade bianche — but it features a discreet electric motor to provide pedal-assist when you need it most.
It’s not a throttle-based ride — you still pedal, but the motor supports you on climbs and longer days, helping you conserve energy and enjoy the ride more fully.
Who Are They For?
E-bikes are ideal for:
- Road cyclists curious about gravel but unsure of the terrain
- Riders recovering from injury or building back endurance
- Mixed-ability groups or couples who want to ride together
- Anyone looking to enjoy the views, culture, and climbs — with a little less effort
Why Choose an E-Bike with Volta Pro Tours?
At Volta, we believe cycling should be challenging, rewarding, and inclusive. That’s why we offer premium e-MTB bikes on all of our gravel events — including:
✔ Top-tier equipment – Lightweight, stylish, and built for mixed terrain
✔ Full mechanical support – Daily checks, bike washing, and on-road assistance
✔ Flexible choice – Bring your own bike, or let us provide either MTB Hardtail or e-MTB
You can ride at your own pace, push as much or as little as you like, and still share in every climb, view, and post-ride meal with the group.
Not Just Easier—Just as Epic
E-gravel riding doesn’t make the experience any less authentic. You’ll still tackle the same routes — rolling hills, ridge roads, forest tracks — but with more control and confidence.
Whether you’re gliding through the Umbrian hills or climbing towards Castelluccio’s high plateau, the support from an e-bike lets you ride longer, go farther, and take in more of the culture and cuisine that make our events so special.
