E-BIKE FRIENDLY
You are welcome with your E-Bike, a full suspension is a MUST. Lesotho's trails are technically demanding and you should be comfortable with riding up and down steep and narrow single track. Regardless of which bike you ride, this is NOT a ride for beginners. The longest stage is approx. 75km and should you require an additional battery you may give it to the water point crew.
