Great cycle. Ebikes easy to use and really enjoyed the smooth route home via Via V.I.Lenin. Be aware that you aren't supplied a helmet standard, which is surprising given much of the route is shared with cars and on uneven terrain. You can only download one route per smart phone on the free app, so if you want to cycle there and back you will need two smart phones.
Easy to follow route mostly off the main roads . Be ready for it to take a little longer than stated. Also consider the weight of electric bikes if you are using the train as the local station back from Pisa has a lot of stairs to negotiate and they are heavy …unless we missed the lift!
Great day out in the countryside, the bikes made it easy and very enjoyable. We went there and back on the bikes after spending a few hours in Pisa and having a lovely lunch away from the crowds in the centre. 100% would do it again it was fun and lovely to cycle so far through varying scenery. We’re in our mid 50s and don’t cycle at all except on holidays sometimes.
What a ride!! My wife and kids said it was the coolest thing they have EVER done. The round trip on the bike was 38 miles. There is the option to train back from Pisa., but we opted to ride round trip. Staff was helpful with app and bike setup. It took my family of 4 (14 and 11 year old) about 2 hours from Lucca to Pisa and 1.5 hours to get back. Great scenery through Tuscany countryside. Recommend bringing a battery pack and sunscreen.
Staff contacted and accommodated a booking change which was really kind and helpful. Office easy to locate near the train station and the bikes were well maintained and easy to operate. Staff helpful in providing a map app. The ride was easy and we went through beautiful countryside.
Beautiful cycle ride. Staff at location super nice and helpful. Helped with a last minute booking change due to a cancelled flight. Love seeing a place by bike.
Lots of riding, but the e-bike makes it easy. We enjoyed a beautiful bike ride from Lucca to Pisa and back via two different routes. The app provided all the directions needed to make it on your own. I recommend.
This was one of the funnest things I did on my two week vacation. Go at your own pace, take pictures of the country side. The leaning tower is a must see in person.
Biked to and from Pisa. Enjoyed the trails and going through countryside. For the most part the directions were ok. There were a few times we got turned around. It would have been helpful if the app would have recalculated and told us how to get back on the right track. Instead it took a few trial and errors. Be sure to bring an extra battery pack. The ride took 2.5 hours on the way to Pisa with a couple of brief stops for pictures. The way back took less than two hours nonstop. It was approximately 60km.
Very nice tour, after 15 minutes you are out of town. On good bike paths we went through nature. Partly through villages and asphalt roads. In Pisa there are also bike paths. Back on the same path. One was perfectly committed. Grazie millie!
