Charge and check the battery
Ensure the e-bike battery is fully charged and confirm range with your guide—assist levels make climbs easier but don’t eliminate range limits.
Wear sturdy, grippy shoes
Opt for flat-soled or MTB shoes—gravel and short technical sections require stable footing when you dismount.
Bring a lightweight layer
Sea breezes and shaded valleys can be cool; a windbreaker or light fleece is useful for starts and descents.
Respect wetlands and livestock
Stay on marked tracks through Gaidarana and avoid disturbing horses or nesting birds in protected areas.
Helmet
Protective helmets are mandatory; tour provides helmets but a well-fitting personal helmet is best.
Water bottle / hydration pack
Carry 1–2 liters—hot afternoons and effort on climbs dehydrate quickly.
summer
Spare tube / mini-pump
Gravel sections can cause punctures; a basic repair kit keeps the tour moving.
Light waterproof/windbreaker
Useful for coastal breezes and sudden showers during cooler months.
