Route Schematic

Typical route schematic

A rental lets you mix urban riding with nearby gravel and forest tracks — typical stops illustrate that transition.

  1. Vossevangen town center

    Start among the streets and quays of Vossevangen, where the bike’s lights, mudguards and rack make short urban hops and errands easy.

  2. Gravel lanes outside Voss

    Move onto gravel tracks where the bike’s wider, grippier tyres and pedal-assist let you cover rougher lanes with ease.

  3. Smoother forest trails

    Head onto smoother forest trails for a quieter stretch of riding that plays to the bike’s rugged-yet-cultured design.

Helmet is provided with every rental; the bike’s pedal-assist, low-step-through frame and grippy tyres make it suitable for both city streets and easier gravel/forest routes — choose routes that match your comfort and experience.
