WHY PADBIKE?
Looking for inspiration at every turn
Padbike is the only organization in Italy specialized in creating eMTB touring trips .
Thanks to our deep roots in the territory and a team of expert guides, we can continuously test and refine each itinerary, offering authentic, unique and unrepeatable experiences.
Unlike many companies that offer simple local tours, often dedicated only to beginners, we at Padbike have specialized in real MTB trips, complete with luggage transport, overnight stays in mountain refuges and constant assistance along the way.
We are present in three regions of Italy - Tuscany, Dolomites and Abruzzo - territories different from each other but united by a common element: the epic nature of the paths that cross them.
What are the roots of Padbike?
PadBike is a project born from the passion of two brothers for the world of Mountain Bike. The idea was born in 2019 with the intent to address two problems, namely the difficulty of meeting new people passionate about mountain biking and the desire to discover new trails that could give us stronger emotions than those we were used to.
When we realized that we were not the only ones to feel these needs , we wanted to get involved and try to remedy them. From here the idea of creating a community was born, a virtual place where we could connect as many people as possible who are united by a passion for cycling.
This brought us to PadBike.
Over the years the project has evolved a lot. Now in the team we are 6 full-time and 4 part-time, over 30 E-Bikes for rent and two Mercedes-Benz Vans!
Since this year we have set up a small software department through which we have released the Outdoora App: a BtoB app designed to offer Self Guided Tours for all those who rent an E-Bike
Starting from December 2021 Padbike has officially become a Sports Association
