So much fun. Unreal scenery, great winery suggestions, makes all the hills a piece of cake. Electric pedal assist feel like magic. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

This is a very organized business with well maintained bikes! The wine tour was fun on Ebikes with an amazing panorama of Tuscany’s backroad beauty.
Great opportunity for photos and we enjoyed Boscarelli Winery tasting!
As seniors, we were able to enjoy the rolling hills and steeper grades with the pedal assist bikes!
It was a pleasure to meet owners, Michael and Giorgio! Thank you for the memorable adventure!
Fantastic day, loved every minute. Guys in the shop delightful to deal with and so helpful. Bikes are terrific and make zooming up steep hills a breeze. Beautiful countryside. Highly recommended!
This has to be one of the most fun things to do in this part of the world. Second visit for us in 2018 after being one the first customers in 2017.
Funky Fantic E-Bikes that allow you to tour the mountain villages in relative ease. You need to be able to ride a bike and keep a consistent pace for the battery to add the extra umph' but otherwise these are a breeze to use. We covered nearly 60kms across a full day starting at 9am and completing as the store closed at 7.30pm. We managed four separate villages, lunch, site seeing, ice cream, drone flying, and a thunder storm!
The guys running it are a great team who are always keen to make your day a memorable one with advise and support. The number of bikes are limited so my advice would be to book early to ensure you snag your ride. I am hoping they can add to the existing fleet so that more people can enjoy the experience. All this is provided from a beautiful old building with a wide range of high quality clothing and apparel.
If we are nearby we will do this again rolling a wine tasting into our next tour.
This is a 5-STAR review for a journey we never took. I had booked with Urban Bikery many months before our trip and was really excited to see the countryside on one of their cool bikes. My daughter (21), who is very rusty at riding bikes, promised me she would practice before our trip and get the hang of bike riding again. That never happened.
Between the cobblestones, narrow streets, parked cars and hills, she was stressing and failing on her test drive outside their store. I figured I would have to eat the deposit but the guys at UB volunteered to return it to me. I wasn't expecting that but it sure made me respect them as a business. I really wanted to buy something from their store to thank them for their generosity, plus they have awesome stuff in their store!
Even if you aren't a bike rider, you must go into their store and take a look around. They offer very unique and high quality items. My husband got a snake skin looking belt made from recycled bike tires. It's beautiful! Their leather jackets are also very nice quality and if I wasn't so tall, I would have come home with one of them too.
Next time......we will ride!
I loved my ride through the area around Montepulciano, the ebike is amazing for the hilly setting. You will be able to decide your own path, make wine stops and enjoy the breathtaking views.
The shop where you rent the ebike also offers high quality leather accessories that I brought home to my friends as a souvenir!
I definitely recommend this experience to everyone visiting the town, it's absolutely worth it.
