You set off from a small stone quay as salt wind pulls at your jacket and the island’s pine ridges rise like a low, dark spine.

Check battery range
Confirm your e‑bike’s battery level and carry a phone charger or spare battery if available—expect 40–80 km range depending on assist level and terrain.
