5.00this is my first trip after arriving Macedonia. never used e bike before but it helps a lot. it may feel a bit unusual at the very beginning, the gears is quietly helping you or sometime restrain you to accelerate. the guide is friendly and professional. it demands some physical but not extreme. guide is very considerate and will look after your physical reaction to see any rest is required. a very good experience
