Today I heard back from the Giant retailer in Imola (about 34km from Bologna) and they will rent me a battery for my Giant Revolt!
So all I have to do is to take my ebike to Italy without the battery, fit the rental battery and then return it at the end of the ride to the shop in Imola. I could even ride there without the battery since is is pancake flat the whole way, or I can catch a Regionale train.
This is great news and it makes me look forward even more to the mountains in central Italy. With a 500wH battery I can make easy going of a 1000m climb. Don't get me wrong - I like climbing and if the ebike was not possible then I would still look forward to the trip but having the ebike means that each day I arrive fresher and with more energy to explore the towns and villages where I stop.
