About Park E Bike The Park E Bike service was created in 2013 in response to a growing demand for personal transportation in the UNESCO world heritage travel destination of Sintra, Portugal. The founders of the service are avid cyclists with strong environmental concerns. The company’s main goal is to provide a silent, clean, zero emission transport service that offers travellers a fun and engaging way to visit the parks and palaces in the area. The electric assisted bicycles allow non cyclists to follow the suggested routes along the Sintra hills at a comfortable pace. The service also aims to allow its clients to avoid the growing waiting times for the local bus to visit the monuments, parks and palaces, as well as ticket queues at each Sintra Parks monument.
