WHAT TO WEAR
Dress warmer than you would for a day of walking, as travelling by eBike creates the effect of a cooling wind for riders (as the e-Assist does most of the work, riders do not generate the same amount of heat as they would on a regular bike). Recommend light long-sleeve shirt plus windbreaker or light jacket at a minimum. Running shoes/walking shoes recommended, no sandals or flip flops.
