Before you can hit the road, all riders must review and sign our Waiver of Liability. This step is necessary to ensure your safety and confirm your understanding of the terms of our e-bike rental service.
You will sign the waiver in person when renting the e-bike at the Assisi Information Desk prior to your rental, in the presence of a MSVU staff member.
Please take a moment to review the waiver. Signing it is required before you can rent an e-bike. You are required to sign this form at Assisi Information Centre.
