Adjust Pedal Assistance Wisely

Use the Fazua motor’s three assistance levels to conserve energy on climbs and enjoy flat sections with minimal help.

Carry a Light Repair Kit

Even with a high-tech bike, bring basic tools and a spare tube for unexpected mechanical issues.

Respect Local Road Rules

Stay alert for cars and pedestrians, especially within Pisa’s busy historic center where cobblestones demand focus.
