Pedal assisted bikes are not mopeds but actual bicycles that “add power” to your legs. When the sensor feels you are pressing on the pedals, it activates the motor. You can adjust the contribution of the engine in four ways. The more you get help, the more battery you consume. Assistance is usually put to the maximum when the climb is very steep. Engine assistance stops if you exceed 25 km / h.
We have bicycles with 500w and 625w battery. Indicatively, the autonomy of a charge can vary from 80 km to 120 km. Much depends, however, on the use of the assistance (if you always pedal with assistance at the maximum level, it consumes more), on the weight of the person pedaling and on the type of route. Bosch offers a useful e-bike calculator that will help you estimate the mileage for specific riding conditions.
Approximately 3-5 hours, depending on the state before charging and the charger in use.
The battery charges like any personal computer or mobile phone. Simply plug the charger into a wall socket and connect it to the battery. Our Trek e-bikes do not require you to remove the battery while charging, but it is always an available option. The lights on the side of the battery indicate when it is fully charged.
No, the Bosch Perfomance CX Line motors used by Trek are not regenerative.

Amira xox16 Settembre 2024My boyfriend and I had an amazing day from 9am - 4pm biking around Puglia and we had Davide all to ourselves! We spent a beautiful day riding along small roads through orchards of olives, grapes and fruit trees among ancient farms, touring the old town hilltop cities with ease, and riding along the aqueduct. Davide kept us safe and off the major roads. Davide is so authentic, he doesn't try to sell other services like some other biking tour owners. He is a local, speaks perfect English and is enthusiastic, patient and shares wonderful details about his culture, the architecture, history in this area and Italy. My bike was awesome, I had extra power when I needed it otherwise none, the battery lasted and the bike was brand new. I recommend Davide's biking tour as the perfect way to see this area and see some spectacular views! We had booked just a 3 hour tour but had so much fun that we asked him to extend it to an all day tour and Davide accommodated us immediately. I agree with the other reviewer, David's fees are below market price for his First Class custom tour, and we too think he deserves a big tip at the end. It's the best biking tour I have ever been on :-DMike O'Leary15 Settembre 2024PUGLIA E-BIKE ADVENTURE - September 10 - 14, 2024, a 5-star experience & very highly recommended! Cindy and I are (ages 67 & 71) experienced cyclists from Canada. This Puglia, self-guided 4-day trip was our first land-based, multi-day bike trip, and it was AMAZING! We have, in the past done 3 Bike & Boat trips in Europe (Holland Germany & Italy). When Cindy researched bike rentals in Puglia, 6-months ago, Puglia E-Bike Adventure came up. David, the owner, was very quick to answer Cindy's enquiries. He, willingly shared his insights and recommendations on our intended self guided e-bike trip. We received EXCELLENT service from David. Thank you so much David, Mike & Cindy O'Leary, CanadaGianluca Fraldi24 Agosto 2024Arnaud Stuvel15 Giugno 2024Really good tour and great guide Davide. 👍Jaime Pardinas15 Giugno 2024David is an extremely knowledgeable and well versed tour guide. We used him on two occasions, once in Polignano a mare and were so impressed that we used him again in Alberobello and Locorotondo. Both times he provided fantastic service with excellent bikes. If you come to Puglia this is the bike tour you want to do.Simon Costello11 Giugno 2024Great bike and perfect communication. I'm a keen rider but have learnt from the past that it's too hot to ride a normal bike in heat of Puglia. The ebike still allows you to ride hard when you want and help out at times. If you want to enjoy a long ride and take in the views, this is the company to use. Davide is incredibly helpful and worth every one of the 5 ⭐emeline viard31 Maggio 2024J’ai loué un vélo pour 3 jours en mai dernier, tout c’est parfaitement déroulé. Les E-bikes sont d’une qualité incroyable ! Personnellement je trouve que l’option du vélo pour visiter les Pouilles est la meilleure, les paysages sont à couper le souffle, entre oliviers, amandiers, champs de fleurs sauvages, côte Adriatique. J’ai parcouru presque 200km sur 3 jours sans aucun problèmes. Concernant David, ça a été une réel coup de cœur humain, d’une gentillesse exceptionnelle comme on n’en voit plus, il est passionné et passionnant, un homme avec un grand coeur qui saura répondre à vos attentes. Foncez sans hésiter à cette adresse qui mérite à être connu.Sander de Groot31 Maggio 2024Great guy, good bikes and amazing service. We had a small issue with one of four bikes we rented and we could simply send our location for them to come and resolve the problem. Definitely recommend.Helvetiavia Philipp31 Maggio 2024Zuerst zu den Velos: Sie sind perfekt gewartet und hochwertige Modelle. Davide hat wirklich viel investiert. Wir hatten keine Pannen, der Akku hat gehalten und das Velo war angenehm zu fahren. Noch besser als die Velos ist Davide selber. Er hat neben dem Veloverleih auch gleich angeboten, uns am Flughafen abzuholen, wobei wir zwei eigene Velos dabei hatten. Zusätzlich hat er angeboten, unser Gepäck von Hotel zu Hotel zu transportieren und war sonst in allen Belangen hilfsbereit. Da wir vor zwei Jahren schon einmal in Apulien waren und Fahrräder von einem andern Anbieter hatten, kann ich sagen: Puglia e-bike adventure ist vielleicht etwas teurer, dafür viel Besser!Philippa Kirkpatrick31 Maggio 2024Best day in Puglia. I highly recommend booking a bike tour with David. The bikes are amazing. Very comfortable and easy to ride with great batteries so it can be as easy as you want it to be. The picnic he brought was so delicious. Tasty rolls filled with Parma ham and other delicacies, the most amazing Burrata, fresh tomatoes and rose. David knows all the best places to go and is such a lovely and enthusiastic host. He has very good English for those that don’t know Italian. It is a really great day out and u highly recommend it for anyone travelling in the Puglia region.
