I was sceptical about renting an e-bike at first, but our trip completely changed my mind! Also, the bike rental service was great and very helpful (especially with adjusting the bike to my height). Definitely recommend doing a bike tour through the smaller villages around Padova.

This last Sunday of “quarantine” was to be fully exploited! Just few cars and spring sunshine, "Viaggiare Curiosi" rents wonderful e-mountain bikes that’d make my grandmother climbing a mountain! So I highly recommend to anyone to rent these bikes and take a ride on the hills, why? It’s super easy, also for a beginner! (Climbing with a normal bike it’s only for pros). High quality bikes and very attentive service (I had a punctured tyre but the emergency equipment allowed me to leave immediately = no stress), with a price accessible to everyone, complete the package of a beautiful afternoon! Grazie Carmen e Giorgio!
