The existing cycling infrastructure on the Gdansk - Hel route is not ideal. Pomeranian Voivodship is still striving to improve its status by creating the Cycling Tourism Development Concept, which includes forecasts of changes for the coming years. This document includes plans for the development of bicycle routes, improved pavement on existing European and national routes, and the creation of biker-friendly places. However, all voivodship authorities' plans focus on facilities for cyclists moving on traditional vehicles. This article, based on available literature and market offers, presents a project of infrastructure necessary to navigate the Gdansk - Hel route with two-track vehicles equipped with an electric support system.
