Hi I’ve subscribed to your channel for a few reasons. 1. you are an old bloke 😀 2. You have an electric mtb. 3. I can feel I’ve been on a ride without leaving my chair. Seriously though I’m 60 and at the moment use a non emtb. Is there a big difference going up hill with a emtb as I’ve never ridden one. I’m thinking of getting one but the price is putting me off. Keep the videos coming. 👍

Hello mate, thanks for stopping by. We live on the western edge of the Lake District National Park, as you may have gathered, it's very hilly terrain around here. The emtb is worth it's weight in gold. There's two ways to ride them. Stick to non emtb speeds and use the motor to make it near effortless, or graft as you would on a conventional mountain bike, but carrying two to three times the speed. No longer will you have to find a downhill section to create some excitement, flat and even uphill can provide entertainment on these things. Obviously the more power you dial in, the less range you will have from the battery. I didn't get started mountain biking until I was 51. A 2016 Giant Reign 2 sat unused for two years after just one ride. I ordered the Haibike as soon as the 2019 models were released; it had 1000 miles on it inside twelve months, that's the difference. If you intend to do what we are doing, then an e-bike isn't just a benefit at 60, it's pretty much essential. There's over twenty of us in the Auld Blokes Larking About group, and in the space of two years, all but three I think have converted to emtb after seeing how they perform. As Deano says, it's not cheating, it's enabling!
