Sibiu: Full-Suspension E-Bike Rental

Exploring Sibiu and its surroundings on a full-suspension KTM e-bike offers a fresh way to experience this charming Romanian city and its hidden gems. The rental and guided tour, operated by Ecotrek – Rent and Ride, last around 8 hours, giving you plenty of time to cover both the well-trodden sights and some lesser-known spots. Starting at KTM Bicycles in Sibiu, you’ll ride through scenic landscapes, charming villages, and perhaps even some off-road paths, all at your own pace.

Two things we particularly liked about this experience are the ease of use of the KTM e-bikes, thanks to their modern design and powerful Bosch batteries, and how accessible they make discovering hidden corners of Sibiu and the surrounding region. They’re a great choice whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just looking for a relaxed way to explore.

A potential consideration is that, while the bikes are designed for comfort and versatility, riders unfamiliar with e-bikes might need a brief orientation, especially for off-road sections. This experience suits families, groups of friends, or solo travelers eager for an active day out that’s both fun and environmentally friendly.
