e-bikes

Our e-bikes are typical touring bikes which allow you to tour on streets as well as on forest roads. We equip you with a lock and a helmet as well. Our e-bikes come in various sizes. When handing over the bikes we make sure everything is adjusted correctly to your height. The battery should last all day.
