Hello. Been a lurking E biker for a few years after being seriously impressed with a quick ride on a haibike last year at my LBS, as someone with COPD it was a revelation, still couldn't breath but was able to conquer the landscape at a more respectable pace.
When I ride with friends Im working far harder just to stay at the back on the trails. I don't mind this but recently feel that I may be causing myself more harm than good by riding harder for longer. My heart rate is too high and I may be doing this for the wrong reasons. I mainly ride trails and roads in my locale these days and my rides average between 15 - 30 miles
Thought about converting one of my bikes with a mid drive, but the cost of this is quite high and Im not sure it looks right, (bit like a fizzy?) Im thinking a bike designed for the job would have better weight distribution therefore handle better and dynamically be a better ride. So I found this forum and hope to improve my knowledge. Any tips would be welcome.
