Before you go

Three routes we love, all starting from Scala. The e-bikes handle the hills for you, so you can focus on the views. Charge is full when you set off; range is roughly 60–80 km depending on how much you use the motor.

Battery. Fully charged at departure. Range is 60–80 km in eco mode. For the hilltop loop, use eco on the flat and boost only on the steep climbs.

Helmets. They are in the bike shed. Please wear them.

Water. Bring a bottle. There are bars in Porto Recanati, Loreto, and Recanati, but not much in between.

Return time. Please let us know when you plan to be back. Half-day rides should return by 13:00 or 17:00; full-day rides by 19:00.

Road safety. The cycle paths are traffic-free, but some connecting roads are shared with cars. Avoid cycling along busy roads (Strada Regina, for example); crossing them is fine. On quieter roads, stay right, signal turns, and take care on blind corners.
