Lucca draws on its ancient roots dating back to Roman times, but it was in the medieval period that the city experienced a period of prosperity, emerging as a commercial and cultural center of great importance. Exploring the surrounding countryside offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in the timeless charm of the numerous Renaissance Villas. With their sumptuous gardens, these historic homes offer an extraordinary emotion, revealing the artistic and architectural richness of a bygone era.
After a brief initial introduction, during which the functions of the e-bike will be illustrated, you will have the opportunity to explore its features and start enjoying the experience.
