E-bike tour
The E-bike is an electric pedal assisted bicycle. A regular bike with the addition of a motor and a battery that will allow you to transform yourself into a true two-wheel professional. Imagine having to go up steep slopes and travel more than 30 km... With these bikes it is possible, you decide the level of assistance!
Why discover Molise by bike, starting from Essentia?
Because we are lucky enough to be in the open countryside, surrounded by a great variety of landscapes. By walking a few kilometers, you can admire extensive plains planted with vegetables and wheat, rolling green hills with century-old olive trees, suggestive lakes and rivers, and the Mediterranean Scrub of the Adriatic coast.
Strong emotions are in store for the more adventurous who will be able to compete with challenging routes with important distances and slopes.
Those who choose the tourist itineraries will be able to immerse themselves in Molisan nature and discover suggestive old villages and millenary traditions, along traffic free roads such as the ancient sheep trails, the white paths of the Transhumance.
The low population density and the traffic free roads will allow you to enjoy your ride in complete relaxation!
