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
