talking to someone more knowledgeable now about this im told its for downhill trail use to get up the hill to save energy that you use on the downhill so now i know !!MY05 SE D3 Manual my first LR what a car
MY10 HSE D4 auto
MY14 XXV more buttons than the spaceshuttle
My goal is to ride from Burnley to Blackpool (When the weather gets better) which on the bike route will be about 50 miles or so
Before embarking on an epic journey, just be aware of the range.
Most current emtb's will only do around 30 miles per charge.
And when the battery runs out and you've got some climbs to do, it's much harder on an emtb than a standard mtb (due to the extra weight).
I talk from experience - I've got a Specialized Levo Carbon "fattie" and I've had to get off and push up some gravel tracks that I'd normally pedal up.
It really is tough going (without power) if you don't plan accordingly, even just long gentle rises on tarmac.
But enjoy, it's definitely the way forward imo.
I agree it is. I can do nearly 70 miles on a full charge in the 2 lowest assistance modes probably more now that I have the new 625ah battery and the fancy Bosh CX line motor. In the highest assistance mode (Which i only use off road for steep uphill tracks as I mainly use MTB mode) i can still get 30 mile or so on average. When I do 25 to 30 mile (half on half off road) I come home with at least 40% battery left sometimes more E Bike technology is moving fast (Excuse the pun )
Not an exact science but will give you some idea ( I doubt I would get 115 miles )
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the best of everything they have.
