In every cyclist's life, there's time when local roads once shrugged as mild slopes turn into a little climb. When hills are easily crossed, mountains become unexplainably tough can only be overcome by using electric mountain bike. And you can make a convenient pretext if you are tempted to leave this flat pipe as it is. You can only admit in the last few years you've gradually deleted every trace of the once famous but powerful ride from the shops, pretending to be somehow calm and more scenic on your new, coincidentally flattened route.
However, you actually know that you are cycling miles away just to stay on level, to avoid the miserable shameful effects of gravity that are revealing ages. The pitch of my once-pressed push bikers is now as far as my memories of pedaling up and down happily, untroubled by creaky knees, chy hips and dripping brower, and made lazily by jumping into the car in favor of local sales ("it'll be easier to pick up that pint of milk"), less suitable for driving to London ("it'll be faster, I'll get more work done").
War between Man and machine
I thought about this as I flew up Mount Townsend, NSW, turned again, with the athletic enthusiasm and speed of the Olympian, and still had enough energy to bounce back home in Mount Twynam, NSW, suitably named. But it wasn't until I had went for fun around the hilly local park, that my friend from the electronics engineer, visited to show the nice 400Wh Bosch Li-ion Power Pack and the clever, still Bosch Active Line Drive motor constructed around the underside. But I didn't make fun of "electric" cyclists, isn't it? Didn't I insist that the main reason was fit for cycling? What if a battery did everything possible?
Of course, until I got out of the Electricbikesuperstore, what I hadn't realized was that you still have to make an effort, as you stop pedaling on the coasts, as with any bicycle. Electrical aid is only cut off when you pedal, and the more difficult you work, the greater the help you get, in a wonderful rule that should apply in any aspect of life. I just love it. I love it. You can cycle carefully and fit everything simultaneously.
High performance
When you click on the Shimano Alivio nine-speed gear, it's not only natural, but addictive. Suddenly you have an invisible force that pushes you up and, invisibly, pulses you straight ahead. You are young, fit, fast, champion again. You're a biker. Hydraulic disk brakes are also available front and back.
If I am searching for the long-forgotten slopes, I stop using the handlebar control when I like a workout, and Eco if I want a gentle push. Tour mode or sporting mode appears more appropriate at the end of a long journey (the battery claims to be good for up to 80 miles). I haven't experimented with Turbo mode, which offers a much larger boost in power. Well, does not a man have to exercise?
And the joyous electric biking paradox lies there. I'm cycling more often than not, cycling more and I enjoy every second, supported by exhilaration, the lack of knee pain and the sure knowledge that I can now go through whole cities. I can go to conferences and get as fresh as I got out of the shower. Or I could become as gloriously sweaty in melbourne as any other cyclist.
Discover the fun of cycling
Why don't you get a 48-hour free e-bike ride through. Just call one of the 34 participating businesses quickly so that an expert can find the best bike to test a journey. All Electricbikesuperstore shops can give you a free trial when you don't have to do a 48-hour period so just get in shop when you are ready to do it.
