Sicily - Rent a bike - The bike

Bike

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

  • "Brennero" stands for its mountain suitability,
  • "Urban" for its usability in the city and
  • "Agevole" for its convenience.

The Brennero also makes sense if you are not planning to drive into the surrounding mountains at all, because

  • where the mountains are close to the sea, even normal roads are steep,
  • thanks to the powerful motor, you almost don't have to pedal yourself in the Sicilian summer and always stay "cool" thanks to the wind,
  • the powerful motor helps you to easily pull out into the city traffic and
  • the combination of safety and comfort of this bike is impressive overall.

Please note: Unlike the original, the rental bikes from Sicula Bike are equipped with puncture resistant Schwalbe Marathon Plus MTB tyres. They are not only the best defense against everyday tire wreckers, but also suitable for fast e-bikes in accordance with ECE-R75.
