So, you’ve booked your DirtEbikers e-motorbike and you’re ready to explore the Algarve — now what? Whether you’re cruising the coastline or heading inland on a nature trail, having the right gear can make or break your day. Here’s what we recommend packing for a smooth, scenic, and unforgettable e-bike adventure in southern Portugal.
1. Water
It gets hot out there, even in spring.
2. Sunscreen & Sunglasses
The Algarve sun is no joke. Even on cloudy days, UV rays can sneak through. A high SPF sunscreen and a good pair of sunglasses will protect your skin and eyes while you ride.
3. Layers & Windbreaker
Mornings can be cool, and the coastal breeze can catch you off guard. Pack a light jacket or windbreaker you can easily stash in a backpack.
4. Phone
You’ll want your phone for navigation, pictures, and emergencies. We have affiliated with the Rever App to make exploring easier.
6. Swimsuit & Towel
For the Quinta da Tor tour. Pack a lightweight microfiber towel and a swimsuit, just in case the water calls your name.
Our tour guides carry a Basic First Aid Kit
7. ID & Some Cash
Some cafés or rural shops don’t accept cards, so bring a small amount of euros in cash. Always carry your ID (or a copy) — it’s required if you’re renting an e-bike in Portugal.
Optional Extras
- GoPro or action camera for epic ride footage
- Travel journal or notebook for sketching your route
