Barcelona: E-Bike Rental For 24h Day & Night Experience — A Guide to Seeing the City in a Whole New Light
If you’re looking for a way to really get a feel for Barcelona beyond the usual tourist spots, this 24-hour e-bike rental experience might just be what you need. It’s a flexible, self-guided adventure that takes you through two very different sides of the city—bright beaches and lively parks during the day, and shimmering city lights from Montjuïc at sunset. The fact that it’s a private, all-in-one package makes it appealing for those wanting independence without sacrificing guidance or safety.
What we genuinely like about this experience is how it offers a balanced view of Barcelona—daytime coastal serenity mixed with evening vibrancy. Plus, the digital routes are designed to be straightforward and load easily into Google Maps, so you can follow them stress-free or tweak the path to suit your mood. A small but notable highlight is the option to stop by the Magic Fountain for its famous light show—something that adds a touch of magic to your night.
One thing to keep in mind is that this experience is best suited for those comfortable riding a bike and who want a flexible, self-paced exploration. If you’re not into cycling or aren’t confident on a bike, this probably isn’t the best fit. Also, it’s geared toward travelers who appreciate the convenience of digital routes and the freedom to set their own pace.
All in all, if you’re after a relaxed, scenic way to explore Barcelona’s diverse atmospheres—whether for a day trip or a longer stay—this e-bike rental gives you the tools to discover the city’s highlights on your terms.

The Day Route: Coastal Charm and Sunny Parks
The daytime ride takes you along Barcelona’s scenic beaches and parks, making it a relaxing yet invigorating experience. We loved how the route includes beachfront paths that are ideal for enjoying sea breezes and watching the waves. Think of it as a breezy morning or afternoon ride where the ocean is your backdrop. The route also passes through sunny parks, perfect for a quick stop or just soaking in the atmosphere.
Many travelers mention how this part of the journey feels like a breath of fresh air amidst urban sightseeing. It’s an excellent way to start your day, especially if you’re someone who enjoys a mix of nature and city life. The routes are simple to load into Google Maps, making navigation straightforward even if you’re new to cycling in the city.
The Night Route: Montjuïc and City Lights
As the sun sets, you’ll switch to the evening route, heading toward Montjuïc. This area is known for viewpoints that offer stunning sunset vistas, along with the city’s twinkling skyline after dark. Riding up Montjuïc provides a different vibe—more contemplative and atmospheric. You’ll experience the golden hour as the city bathes in warm light before night falls, making for some memorable photos.
One of the tour’s highlights is the Magic Fountain’s evening light show. Many reviews mention how spectacular it is to watch the water and lights dance in tandem, especially with the fountain’s music. Arriving at Montjuïc timed with the show’s schedule can turn this ride into a truly magical moment.
The Practical Bits: Gear, Assistance, and Flexibility
The experience provider, Wanna Bike, supplies helmets, locks, and friendly help, so you’re well-supported during your ride. The private group setup means you won’t be squeezed into a large tour group, giving you personal space and flexibility. Plus, the booking process is flexible—you can reserve now and pay later, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours beforehand, allowing some peace of mind.

The Value of a 24-Hour E-Bike Experience
Considering the cost, this experience offers good value for those who want a comprehensive, flexible way to explore Barcelona. Instead of booking multiple guided tours or hop-on-hop-off buses, you get the entire city in your hands for a full day. The included digital routes save you time and effort, and the e-bike makes covering longer distances effortless.
Some travelers have shared how this experience allowed them to get off the beaten path or revisit spots at sunset, which is often impossible with scheduled tours. You could spend the morning at the beaches, then switch gears for an evening ride, making the most of your day.
What We Think Could Be Better

While the experience is well-organized, it does require you to be confident in cycling. If you’re a nervous rider or unfamiliar with electric bikes, you might find the e-bike a little tricky at first. Also, since the routes are pre-designed, you won’t get a guide to share local stories or insights, which some travelers might miss.
On top of that, the Magic Fountain’s light show is dependent on timing—you’ll need to plan your ride around the show schedule for the best experience. If you’re a night owl or like to linger, you might want to extend your ride beyond the scheduled routes, which is totally doable with the flexible digital setup.
Final Thoughts: Who Should Consider This Experience?
If you’re someone who values independent exploration, enjoys scenic coastal rides, and wants a full-day view of Barcelona’s contrasting atmospheres, this e-bike experience is a pretty solid choice. It’s especially suitable if you’re comfortable cycling and looking for a cost-effective, flexible way to see the city without the constraints of a guided tour.
Travelers who enjoy freedom, scenic routes, and the convenience of digital navigation will find this setup very appealing. Plus, it’s a great way to see the city at two different times of the day—an experience that offers a richer picture of Barcelona’s lively spirit and tranquil seaside.
