How to get the most out of your rental bike

To be able to "coast along" in the everyday Sicilian traffic with your rental bike, you don't have to be particularly sporty but you should master a bike with derailleurs in your sleep.

For the subtleties beyond that, on this page we provide you with links to the original operating instructions.

You do not feel like reading boring operating instructions? No problem: To make it as easy as possible, we have made a few ad-free videos for you.

Rent a bike in Sicily - Operating instructions - Lombardo Brennero

Lombardo

Sicula Bike exclusively rents out the e-bike (pedelec) recommended by us - the Brennero Urban Agevole from the sicilian manufacturer Cicli Lombardo.

Unfortunately, the Lombardo operating instructions are only available in Italian. However, the texts are easy to understand with the help of online translators such as DeepL.

Regardless of this, the operation of the Brennero Urban Agevole is not different from other bikes with derailleurs.
