Is this a good one for cobblestone hilly cities? Like Lisbon, Portugal?

I think a stroller with "bike" wheels may be better. Of course, it would work, but it certainly would be a very bumpy ride

I think a stroller with "bike" wheels may be better and more stable. It would work since it is an okay stroller, but it would be a bumpy ride!!

I own this bike and i'm obsessed with it. That being said, I commute around the Greater NYC Area CONSTANTLY. I went over the Brooklyn bridge (pretty inclined) the other day and found it to be very difficult (being a one speed bike). If you know you will be dealing with hills frequently I'd say to go with the speeds... but otherwise this bike is extremely portable, eye catching (compliments at least once a day), and convenient. Good luck on your decision.

Depends on the kind of driver you are. If you are a careful driver, no sudden turns or fast getaways, the ITrek will be stable. I found industrial grade Velco works well. I love it. It looks professonal and solid.

The wheels are designed to work well on smoother surfaces. Nicely paved sidewalks and paths are perfect. I can't imagine this working well on a dirt road.

I would say no, it is not. My reason being that it has very large, narrow tires which glide wonderfully over pavement, but would probably not fare very well on sharp edged stones or gravel. I would suggest a more rugged "mountain" style bike with the wider tires and possibly a longer travel suspension.

It moves by pushing on the front bar with your feet. Alternating pushing with your left then your right. I will say it is not good for hills, works best on flat paved or concrete surfaces.

yes, there are a couple of hills in town that have to be used to get back home. My three-speed works fine for me. A friend of mine loved the bike so much she bought one, but with 5 speeds. I love this bike, you won't regret buying it.

the tires on this bike are wide but they lack the deep treads like you would find on a mountain bike. I bought this bike for my mother who uses it strictly on the sidewalks and roads near our house, so i cant say for certain that it excels at tackling loose gravel.

It's not very light, nor is i very narrow. I'm not sure how narrow the sidewalks are, but in Italy, I'm sure it would take up, or not fit on many of the back street sidewalks. You may need to go with a tandem stroller, like the city select.

It handles slightly uneven terrain well. My yard has some big holes and a few slopes that it can take care of with little problem. I might have to go over a spot or two a second time hre and there, but over all no problems.

yes, absolutely. I love the ease of getting on/off, the upright seating position, the overall aesthetics of a European-style bike. It is a bit heavy, so it may not be a good choice if you have to bring it up a flight of stairs.

Might not be good if lots of hills. A total blast on flat and slight incline surfaces.

I haven't used it on cobblestones in Europe, but it did well on cobblestones here in America.

I live in the city and stick to sidewalks, avoiding rough terrain. Pavements present no problem. The walker moves easily over slight irregularities in the pavement. This is the second HUGO I own. I walk about three miles daily. it is helping to maintain my vitality.

I would say no. This is a beautiful cruiser with gears (basically) i think out would survive a dirt path but its more for cruising pavement or boardwalk. I think you're looking for something with a lighter frame and sturdier wheels (i am guessing the dirt road would have grooves and bumps). Try going to an REI store and asking the petiole

Yes, recently used in south France. Found often used city center for address. Worked fairly well, many very small roads and seemed off the beaten track - although everyone I have spoken with says they were lost often. Not sure it was the devices fault.
