International touring with an e-bike

 Right now it is not easy to take your ebike internationally. I'd love to take my Giant Revolt E+ Pro to Italy to ride, but the prohibitions on transporting Lithium batteries make this effectively impossible.


So as a workaround I am trying to find a bike shop in Italy that will rent me a battery for the three or four weeks. It seems like it should be a good deal for them... after all if they are hiring out Giant ebikes then there is a good chance that they would appreciate having one or more spare batteries in stock. Right now I have not found anyone but I will keep trying.

The fallback position is to take my non-electric touring bike, which is more than capable for the task, just less fun! It has been to Lecce before :-)
