The most enjoyable rides are away from the busy centre: the Foro Italico seafront promenade, the huge Parco della Favorita at the foot of Monte Pellegrino, and the ride out to Mondello beach with its turquoise bay. These flat, scenic routes show the city's greener, seaside side.

Yes. Mondello, Palermo's famous beach, is a popular ride from the city, skirting the Parco della Favorita and Monte Pellegrino. It is a rewarding outing with some gentle climbing on the way, comfortable on an electric bike and a great way to reach the sea without the summer traffic.

For the flat seafront and Mondello a classic city bike is fine. If you want to climb around Monte Pellegrino, explore the Conca d'Oro or cover more ground in the Sicilian heat, an electric bike makes the hills and the distances much easier.

In high season the best bikes and e-bikes go quickly, so booking ahead is recommended. On Lokki you can reserve your bike online before you arrive, choose your dates and size, and skip the queues — your bike is ready the moment you reach the shop.
