What the day is like
Assisted bikes, so the hills are a pleasure rather than a problem. Bikes provided.
Assisted bikes, so the hills stop being the point. Twenty-six kilometres of forest trail around Piatra Mare with four hundred metres of climbing that you will barely notice.
Why electric
Because it puts a group of mixed fitness on the same ride. Nobody waits at the top for anybody, and the person who has not cycled in ten years has as good a day as the one who rides every weekend.
The bikes
Full-suspension, provided, sized on the morning. Helmets included.

Who takes you out
Guides are not booked individually — we assign whoever knows that ground and season best, and tell you who it is when we confirm.

Questions people ask
Do I need to be a cyclist?
You need to be able to ride a bike. The assistance handles the rest — that is the whole reason we run it this way.
Will the battery last?
Comfortably, for this route, at the assistance levels we use. The guide carries a spare.
Can children come?
From fourteen, on the smaller frames, if they are confident on a bike.
