The Experience
Before You Go
Check battery range
Confirm the bike’s battery range and expected assistance levels before you ride; hilly routes use more power.
Helmet fit matters
Use a well-fitting helmet—shops may offer optional helmets but bring your own for best fit and hygiene.
Secure overnight parking
If you plan to keep the bike after hours, arrange a private indoor space or be prepared to assume theft/damage liability.
Respect lanes and pedestrians
Stick to designated bike lanes, yield to pedestrians, and observe local traffic rules—Málaga enforces cycling regulations in busy areas.
