The fat tires of your bikes allow you to ride on every kind of terrain : city roads, rocky paths, forests, sand and even snow! This is the perfect way to explore Lapland all year round, including Winter!

They are perfect for the landscapes and reliefs around Rovaniemi and can be used all year long! The electric engine of the bike makes it very easy and pleasant to ride, even with snowy conditions!
