The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a small daypack
A compact pack holds your camera, sunscreen, and any layers without interfering with e-bike balance.
Wear closed-toe shoes
City cobbles and quick stops demand stable footwear—sandals can slip on marble and tiles.
Charge your camera/phone
You’ll want photos from multiple vantage points—carry a power bank for extra battery life.
Mind local traffic
E-bike speed helps cover ground but remain alert at intersections and when passing pedestrians.
