Hi, I am a pretty fit 71 year old (5,000 + miles) ridden in 2017 in beautiful North Yorkshire. I own/ride 2 road bikes and a Bergamont e-mtb hardtail.
I have owned the e-mtb for less than a year, my 1st ever mountain bike.
The e-mtb was a 'fun' purchase. I am too ancient to start careering down mountains and I would not have the skills to stay upright. I mostly ride my road bikes but use the e bike, again mostly on the road in adverse conditions or when sent to the local supermarket by my good wife, equipped with a back pack for essential provisions.
In the course of maintaining fitness I overwhelmingly ride in eco mode. Anyone who thinks e bikes are for lazy people is welcome to ride with me over North Yorkshires hills & dales on a 23kg e-mtb in eco mode.
I may not have a lot to say on the forums on e-bike topics as my knowledge is sparse but I will no doubt do plenty of reading.
