We have Specialized Vado SL bikes for rent and some Levo MTB models. 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 faster. The Vado bikes we offer are lightweight 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. See our bike tours
Please see the below operational instructions. Also you can check out more about the bikes on the Specialized website and see the range calculator!

The first line displays the Mode: Eco | Sports | Turbo. Below that the speed and battery. The on / off button is below that.
