Staff was super friendly with my son. Never done a bike ride with him on the back, but the extra weight want noticeable other than the first pedal. Very pretty view of the city near the end
Some experience of e bikes is helpful as they are much heavier than ordinary ones. Experience of cycling in traffic and congested areas also good. Try to check the bike before starting off as some bikes had no bell and for my husband, his bike was difficult to change power levels and also the chain came off!! The brakes on 1 bike were not as good as they could have been - more maintenance of bikes please Ask if you want a cycle helmet. Our guide Chiara was excellent. Lots of info in short bite sized bits and good stories as well. She made sure we were safe at all times and was able to detour where roads were closed. I thought it was good value for money
Two hours relaxing discovering the charm of Florence and its history. We left together with another Italian couple for the Florence electric bike tour. Our guide Andrea made us live the experience without stress. A pleasant and interesting bike ride through the streets of the old town and the advantage of using battery energy for the climb to Piazzale Michelangelo. Recommended
