First Electric summer!

[Paul Courtney]

Hi,
I have just had my first summer electric biking. Following a stroke last year I had to give up driving so turned to electric biking for mobility. What I didn.t expect was so much fun!
I live close to the south downs near Brighton and have easy access to some fanatastic trails.
My bike is a Haibike Xduro FS, this has been incredible and an absolute gem. I used to ride motorcycles and can really appreciate just how good the engineering is on this bike. Now I am safely away from motorists (no comment!) I am experiancing great adventures, gentle motorsport and going places I've never been before on my doorstep! I love my bike and see at an electric assisted downhill MTB, its perfect.

Shame you had to suffer a stroke to discover the joy of ebiking.

The right bike in the right hands is a very happy combination.

This is not a very big forum, but we do have a handful of members in your part of the world.

I read somewhere on here they are trying to get together for a group ride and I'm they would welcome you along.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your support.
Have met a couple of guys on the downs and my local Haibike dealer is great at supporting the e-bike community, looking forward to organising some good ride outs next spring, its a bit of a swamp at the minute. A guy near me (Tim) had a planned 6 Haibike Xduros doing the South Downs way, unfortunately he wasn't well and cancelled. Hopefully next year, and I'll post it of this forum.

Hi Paul. SRS from this forum is on your door step. I'm also only 25 miles away, and ride regularly on the SD.

There is an offroad section to the forum, and scrolling though this thread, you might well recognize some areas. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/how-many-people-are-using-there-e-bike-off-road.15780/
