Sunlight angles across low stone walls as riders push off from a Florence pickup and roll into the gentle, rolling ribs of Chianti Classico. The first pedal strokes warm muscles while vineyards line the road like patient hosts; the e-bike’s motor eases climbs so you notice the scent of olive leaves and the distant chiming of a monastery bell.
