Brač has a network of marked bike trails, quiet roads through olive groves and stone villages, and the long climb to Vidova gora. An e-bike makes the hills possible for most people. Both of our picks include a helmet with every bike and run guided days out for those who would rather not plan the route.
Questions
Can I rent an e-bike in Bol?
Yes. Both of our picks rent e-bikes. At Active Bol an e-bike costs €40 for half a day or €50 a day. Big Blue has hardtail and full-suspension e-bikes; ask for the price when you book.
Is there a bike tour down from Vidova gora?
Yes. Big Blue's Nostalgic Brač day takes you up Vidova gora by shuttle, then mostly downhill for 53 km to Lovrečina beach for a swim.
How we chose
To be our pick for bike tours and rental, a place must meet this test: a well-kept fleet including e-bikes, helmets included, and guided tours on Brač's marked trails. It must also pass the checks every pick passes, set out in how we choose. Like every business we pick, it is run by a local family who live on the island all year, so booking with them supports the local economy and the people who keep Bol alive outside the season.
You will also find these picks in our guides: Active Bol, Hike to Vidova gora, Vidova gora, Getting to Murvica.
