Noa Adventure: Electric mountain bike or electric scooter hikes in the Basque Country

Electric mountain bike and electric scooter: the perfect equipment for exploring nature

What could be better than sliding silently, without too much effort either, with agility and flexibility, on the superb paths bordered by nature and the extraordinary landscapes of the Basque Country? Mickaël, himself a sportsman and in love with the paradisiacal environment that surrounds him, immediately understood this. It's by trying an electric scooter or an E-MTB that you realize its advantage: the Basque Country is steep (to say the least!) And to make the most of it, electric propulsion helps measured but effective.

On an electric scooter or an electric mountain bike, hurtle down the paths of the Basque Country!

Beginners rest assured, even if it goes up, you will be assisted by a strong electric motor that gives you enough power to have fun, without getting out of breath!
That exercise enthusiasts are convinced: the electric mountain bike is not to avoid pedaling and electric all-terrain scooter has nothing to do with his urban counterpart... Depending on the altitude of an exit, the technical passages and average speed, it is a sport in its own right, which will give you incredible sensations, launched at full speed at over 45km / h!

This is not Mickaël's first experience of supervising sports outings. For several years, he has been accompanying groups on quad bikes in Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle, with Rando Quad Pays Basque. It is in view of the environmental challenges which are accelerating, as well as the envy of his customers, that he decided with his team to create a structure offering activities close to nature, more responsible and sustainable. Noa Adventure is born! So that having fun always rhymes with safety, and because it is in the DNA of this team of sportsmen to do things well, at Noa Adventure you can count on TOP quality equipment, perfectly adapted to your needs, to your physical condition and your desires. Free output (only for MTB) or with valuable advice and advised a qualified instructor in guided tours, make your choice!

Rent an electric mountain bike in the Basque Country, what a great idea!

Mountain biking is one of the most enjoyable ways to set off on the paths of the Basque Country, to follow the paths that meander over the mountains, in front of views worthy of postcards... It is also a leisure activity that quickly a sport, if you are not used to pedaling in the mountains. So that everyone, from 12 years old (1.50m to be more precise) can enjoy it, get on an electric bike! In the all-terrain version, the beast has something to amaze: 27.5 or 29-inch wheels, a full suspension frame to slide down with comfort and perfect road holding, more technical paths and passages, a battery of more than 45km of autonomy, the electric mountain bike is a delicious machine! As soon as you see it, you want to get on it and go for a walk.

  

At Noa Adventure, you can rent an electric ATV for a few hours, a day or a weekend, to go alone walk. If you do not know the paths or the region, because you are on vacation for example, Noa Adventure has a very ingenious solution to offer you: Mickaël and his team have traveled these paths, they know them by heart and they have prepared routes, which can be loaded onto an on- board GPS. Attached to your handlebars, it guides you: impossible to get lost, you set off with confidence and can even calculate breaks, always knowing where you are, when you are going to return, how much time and kilometers you have left... This is the perfect option to be free, while being sure to return without getting lost! You can leave from the Noa Adventure base in Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle, which is generously provided with paths, all around within a radius of several tens of kilometers. You can also benefit from a shuttle service: Mickaël drops you off somewhere (where it's worth it, trust him!) And picks you up at another place. So, if you've been there before, you can do a new tour or start straight from the top of the mountain (because it's still tiring to go up, right?)

Guided electric mountain bike tours, for advice and a tailor-made route

The must of mountain biking is to take a guide with you, in the person of a qualified instructor who is there to ensure your safety, to show you the right route (and why not change it along the way. as you wish), but also to share his knowledge of the region with you. The best views , the most grandiose panoramas, small villages with traditional colorful houses, hidden corners where pottoks (Basque wild horses) are gathered. It is thanks to supervised hikes in electric mountain bikes that you can benefit from it! Up to 10 people can go together (with 2 monitors) and so that everyone is happy: either you come with a group formed and everyone goes together, or you will be grouped with other people who have the same level than you: no pressure to follow the most athletic and no frustration of waiting for those who need more time. Everyone at their own pace, with respect for everyone.

Electric scooter rides in the Basque Country

The all-terrain electric scooter is a mix between the electric bike, the city scooter and a trial motorcycle. When we see it, we are at first surprised, because the wheels are very large ! We are then surprised because the grip is pleasant and it is extremely light: even beginners who do not particularly do cycling or other sports, adapt very easily.

To take an electric scooter ride with Noa Adventure, you are accompanied by an instructor who will guide you in learning this small rolling object. At the beginning you will do a few laps of the tracks at the base, to get used to the handling, to turn and move forward harmoniously. It's easy, don't worry! You put on the backpack, which contains the battery. If it seems heavy at first, you won't feel it at all while riding. The scooter has several speeds, at the beginning we go slowly, then we gradually increase. To move forward, a lever to the right to turn with the thumb and to brake, it is like on a bicycle, levers on each side for the front and the back.

 

The electric scooter offers sensations that are difficult to describe... It feels like on a flying carpet. Quite low to the ground, you have a safe center of gravity and if you ever feel unbalanced, all you have to do is put your foot on the ground. We skate a few strokes and presto, we are driven by its powerful engine! Most of the time, it is enough to stay upright on the scooter, one leans to turn with the centrifugal force. You should skate only on the climbs (and again, very light people or children will not need it). With more than 40 km of autonomy, no problem on long walks. You advance at your own pace, but it can be high if you are used to and want thrills! The electric scooter can become a real demanding sport if you go out with a steep drop and go fast. The next day, you will feel it on your triceps!

The BIG + of Noa Adventure is its location . Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle is very well positioned, close to the coast 20 minutes from Bayonne or Biarritz, 2 hours from Bordeaux , 1h30 from Pau. You can even come for the day, the trip is well worth the effort! From the base, you can quickly reach forest paths, sumptuous and once on the ridges of the mountains of the Basque Country, the landscape unfolds before your eyes... The bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz in the background, with the sea which licks the perimeter of the coasts. The clouds playing hide and seek and imprint their shadows as in a painting, on the green pastures dotted with sheep, cows… A great breath of fresh air awaits you. Several tours are offered, such as Amazonia which crosses the exuberant forest, panoramic tours to stay high without taking your eyes off the undulations of the grassy hills... You can also go down to the ocean , for courses with technical portions, where addicts of the bump will play with the relief...
