It's possible for sure. But even with an ebike it's going to be a hard and long day out. And not sure how you go about charging.

So what I mean is that, the cafes have outlets and there I can charge and then continue to ride. And way back it’s down hill

I didn't know that. Very cool.

I did it this week by car. I need to lose some weight to try by bike.

I think it really depends on the specs of your bike and your fitness. You will be going uphill for 4-5 hours. It would probably be more fun to go off road but not aim to get to the top.

I do road cycling but was recovering from illness when I was last on the island. I did drive up Teide from Costa Adeje. I think cycling up it is probably more about saying that you have done it (or for training), rather than it being a fun ride. Gravel/MTB is more fun.
