I own a Nakamura e-cliff 700 e-MTB<\/a> (electric mountain bike) bought new for 1,000 euros. I use it a lot but I admit I am careful about the routes I take: if there are very steep climbs, I know I will have to pedal hard, despite the assistance. Yes! We live in a paradise-like region that is far from flat…<\/span><\/p>\n

That is why I gave up some rides in the middle mountains or in my lovely Var forests.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last Saturday, a friend offered to let me try his electric mountain bike equipped with a kit bought from Power-e-bike<\/a>. He promised me that, even on vertical slopes, his electric bike would climb on its own (well, he always exaggerates a little, but I trusted him).<\/span><\/p>\n

So I decided to \u00ab\u00a0ride down to the Siagne\u00a0\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n

It means racing down a valley at the bottom of which flows this beautiful river with turquoise-green water. Then, of course, you have to climb back up: about 3 km on a badly damaged road, where there are more potholes than tarmac, and it is very steep the whole way.<\/span><\/p>\n

I did not switch on the electric assistance on the way down. I experienced my first twist of the throttle \u00ab\u00a0at the bottom\u00a0\u00bb on a short but impressive slope by the river… A real helping hand! As if a giant’s hand had discreetly come to push me.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the ride back, I had mentally prepared myself for a considerable effort. I did pedal: as if I were on flat ground with a conventional bike! All the way to the top! And I thought I had set the assist to maximum, but I had misread the screen: I was at 4\/5 of the power…<\/span><\/p>\n

My electric bike is enough for my city trips with moderate climbs, but if I want to go on \u00ab\u00a0real\u00a0\u00bb rides and see some relief, I will often have to steal my friend’s bike… or buy a kit!<\/span><\/p>\n
