Summary: I went along for my only 2nd experience on an e-bike, totally fulfilled any expectations I wanted. Great Help from Lisa, installing the App, great advise on the route to choose. Hardly came across any main roads, the bikes are great and robust with everything you need for a little off the road. Loved the experience. I love it.
