Hydrate before you go
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water; e-bikes make longer distances easy and you’ll want fluids for the full three‑hour ride.
Charge and test the e-bike
Confirm battery level and test assist modes during the pre-ride briefing so you won’t be surprised mid-ride.
Footwear and off-bike sections
Wear closed-toe shoes with tread — some short sections may require stepping off to navigate sand or short boardwalks.
Timing for wildlife and heat
Start in the morning or late afternoon to avoid harsh sun and increase chances of seeing birds and deer.
Water bottle or hydration bladder
Staying hydrated is essential on a three-hour e-bike tour through exposed areas.
Closed-toe trail shoes
Provide traction for short off-bike sections and stability when mounting/dismounting the e-bike.
Light wind/rain jacket
Quick protection against spring showers and cool winds across open savanna.
