An e-bike opens up a very different side of the Orihuela Costa. From Playa Flamenca, riders can leave the busy coastal area behind and discover quieter inland roads, open countryside and landscapes that many visitors never see from their resort.
That was exactly what Seamus and his wife experienced after OriMar Bikes delivered two Fiido C21 e-bikes directly to their accommodation. Their day out shows how Orihuela Costa e-bike hire can turn an ordinary part of a holiday into a shared cycling adventure, even when two riders have different experience and fitness levels.
Road cycling from Playa Flamenca
Before their shared e-bike ride, Seamus had already hired a BMC Teammachine SLR from OriMar Bikes for three days of road cycling. Playa Flamenca gave him a practical base for heading away from the coastal strip and exploring the quieter inland roads around San Miguel de Salinas, Pinar de Campoverde and the distinctive landscape surrounding La Pedrera reservoir.
From a solo road ride to a shared Fiido adventure
With three days of their holiday remaining, Seamus’s wife decided that she would also like to spend some time cycling. Seamus contacted OriMar Bikes to ask whether we could help, and we delivered two Fiido C21 e-bikes to Playa Flamenca that evening so they could enjoy a full day of riding together.
The Fiido C21 offered a more relaxed alternative to the BMC road bike. Electric assistance allowed them to enjoy the changing landscape at a comfortable pace without turning the day into a demanding training session.
Their photographs show what an e-bike can add to an Orihuela Costa holiday: quiet roads, open countryside, impressive reservoir views and the freedom to discover places beyond the immediate resort area.
Two different bikes for two different types of cycling
Seamus’s experience demonstrates why a mixed fleet works particularly well for couples visiting the Orihuela Costa.
- The BMC Teammachine SLR suited his longer, performance-focused road rides.
- The Fiido C21 e-bikes created a comfortable and enjoyable shared cycling day.
- Direct delivery to Playa Flamenca meant they did not need to transport bikes or search for a rental shop.
- Flexible local service allowed the additional bikes to be arranged during their holiday.
A couple does not need to have the same fitness, cycling experience or ambitions to enjoy riding together. One person can hire a carbon road bike for longer training rides while both can choose Fiido e-bikes for relaxed days exploring the area.
What Seamus said about OriMar Bikes
After the holiday, Seamus described OriMar Bikes as the best bike-hire company he had used in the area “by a country mile”. He praised the quality of the bikes, the reliable delivery and collection service, and our ability to provide the two Fiido e-bikes at short notice.
