The Experience
Before You Go
Charge and check battery
Start with a fully charged e‑bike and verify range—expect 15–25 km of mixed riding with stops; ask the guide about mid‑ride power management.
Mind the road surface
Country lanes can switch between smooth asphalt and compacted farm tracks—choose shoes with grippy soles and keep a relaxed posture.
Hydrate and time your ride
Summer temperatures can spike; ride early or late and carry at least 1–1.5 L of water per person.
Respect private land and trulli
Stick to public roads and lanes, avoid climbing on trulli roofs and follow the guide’s directions near private olive groves.
