eBikes

We have 3 Specialized Vado SL bikes for rental. Perfect for newer riders, tired legs and recovery rides. You still have to peddle but the electric motors can do more than half your work!

These e-bikes are power assisted NOT motorbikes or scooters. The idea is you pedal and they help you on the hills or to go a bit fast. The Valdo bikes we offer are light weight commuter e-bikes perfect for the hills here and also urban environments.

We have many routes suited for the ebikes including even longer ones where you can charge mid day while you have a hike and picnic. Please ask in cafe for more details.

Please see the below operational instructions. Also you can check out more about the bikes on the Specialized website and see the range calculator!
