The Experience
Before You Go
Helmet and fit check
Always use the provided helmet and ask the guide to adjust the e-bike for your height before you start.
Watch peak traffic times
Avoid rush-hour starts—mid-morning departures are calmer for urban cycling and photography stops.
Hydrate and snack
Bring a small water bottle and use included coffee or local snacks as light refueling during route breaks.
Expect quick showers
Carry a lightweight packable rain layer—short tropical rains can appear suddenly even on otherwise clear days.
