Ready to ride for more than 19 miles on an eBike enjoying amazing landscapes and ruins of the roman countryside along the Appian way? You won't be bothered by uphills as you can choose how sensitive the contribution of the battery must be for you not to feel the weariness. This tour is in fact tailored on any accustomed rider regardless the fitness level as the eBike will constantly assist you on any surface and condition.
Different from most of the e-Bike tours of the Appian Way, we'll go off the beaten path and ride up to the Park of the Aqueducts, a gem!! A doozy for my riders!
