“Hired an electric bike to go from Toblach to Venice over a week. I got one with a 500W engine and it was fantastic. I learnt how to conserve the power on some of the big climbs and passes, but we did Pass Giau and the only one it almost didn't make it was Monte Grappa (which is an epic climb!!). The shop was great and attached my pedals so I could clip in and then gave me everything I needed for the bike. We returned it back at the end of the week. Thanks guys!”
