Hvar is a cyclist’s heaven! With challenging mountain trails, seaside windy roads, and plush vineyard flatland... it’s certainly an experience to remember. I stopped to swim in many of the emerald green bays to cool off before carrying on with my ride and it was glorious.
I rented an electric bike from Hvar Life and I’m so glad I did. It helped me get through the more strenuous climbs. Massimo was very accommodating with my needs which at first where battery exchanges and then a charger and seat adjustments for my husband. He gave me a map of the island which is pretty big and provided excellent customer service over all.
There are two Hvar Life shops on the island, one in Hvar and one in Stadi Grad so it’s convenient to rent regardless which side of the island you are. I highly recommend exploring the lesser known villages of Stadi Grad, Vrboska, and my favorite Yelsa. They are very charming and have beautiful places to swim. Of course Hvar is wonderful too with lots of shopping, dining, and more lovely setting.
The prices are fair. The bikes are new and in excellent condition. The ebikes I rented were mountain bikes with thick tires that made it easy to ride off road.
I wish I could find such a great bike rental shop as Hvar Life in every place I visit because exploring by bike is such an incredible way to see the world. I can’t wait to do it again next summer!
