Just do it - https://www.orbea.com/au-en/ebikes/mtb-fun/rise/
There’s been a lot of new additions since then so book a big trip!Hopefully the restrictions lift and i can come to Tassie again - its been a tough year , No Tassie Trails Since Dec 2019 !
I dont think ebikes are still exercise. I ride one to work everyday and i don't even sweat. My heartrate monitor says i get to zone 3 (120bpm or so) but it really doesn't seem like work.
I'd say you're sleeping too little, exercising too much and eating too much. I approached fitness the same way; eating less is really effective at improving everything else
I also have this problem. Enough of your truths @clockworked!But I really enjoy food.
E-ride to the restaurant? That's crazy talk! We have virtual slaves already e-riding to and from the restaurants for us!What is the point of having technology if you cant bend it to your will and make it do your bidding - I like to eat - Get an E-Bike that in itself is enough of a reason to embrace its assistive capacities.
Then in 6 months it becomes a 50/60km lap.I know a battery won't last that long but if I can get a 60/70km lap I'd be happy with that.
Depends on the terrain, there is some drag in the system but it is usually a gentle gradient where you can easily maintain speed on a regular bike but the ebike you are still pedalling a very heavy bike. When there is more gravity I find it a non issue but certainly can be slower on a gentle slope.I can totally understand getting several runs but was pretty surprised at the way I pulled away from my mate when things got over 25km/h down hills as his bike (Norco with Shimano drive) slowed him down once the motor reached its limit. Apparently newer ones don't do that, my commuter is a hub drive and it doesn't do that. Do the torque sensing mid drives cause some resistance above speed limit or was my mate just making excuses for being slower?
I'm probably fitter than I have been in the last 20 years but I just want to be able to explore more and ride further in the same amount of time.I'm starting to feel sick reading this forum, 'oh my knees hurt' or 'I can't climb as fast anymore' or 'oh I'm too tired after my ride', mate riding a bike aren't that hard, in fact its pretty easy, you guys have just become soft, if you don't look after yourself, what happens? overweight, high bmi, poor diet, riding a bike is easy, if you want to ride it faster, its like life it requires commitment, 5-10 hours a week, and that looks after your physical and mental health otherwise guess what .... you aren't ever going to be happy, no geriatric bike device is going to make up for depression and feeling down on yourself.
did you not read the title..It is "i WANT an e bike", not I need an ebike!I'm starting to feel sick reading this forum, 'oh my knees hurt' or 'I can't climb as fast anymore' or 'oh I'm too tired after my ride', mate riding a bike aren't that hard, in fact its pretty easy, you guys have just become soft, if you don't look after yourself, what happens? overweight, high bmi, poor diet, riding a bike is easy, if you want to ride it faster, its like life it requires commitment, 5-10 hours a week, and that looks after your physical and mental health otherwise guess what .... you aren't ever going to be happy, no geriatric bike device is going to make up for depression and feeling down on yourself.
