The fully equipped e-bike is a standout feature. With a Bosch motor, large battery, and tubeless tires, it’s built for comfort and reliability, even on uneven terrain. It’s especially helpful for those who want to conserve energy for the scenic stops rather than strenuous pedaling.

The Route and Top Stops
