E-bikes are the new normal when it comes to exploring the Queenstown trails. There has been a change in mindset and electricity is being embraced like never before… But why?
Let’s explore 5 of the reasons to ride an E-bike next time you’re in Queenstown:
1) See Twice As Much Of The Trails
Riding an electric bike allows you to cover much more ground for the same pedal power. If you have limited time in Queenstown why not go electric? Even if you are regular rider you will still see so much more. The Queenstown Trail is over 140km long… I bet you still wont ride it all!
2) Eliminate the hills
The trails around Queenstown do have hills. E bikes make you feel like a super athlete! As long as you work the gears, the bikes will fly up the hills!
3) Even Out Group Abilities
Some people love to ride for fitness, others ride for fun. If you have both these types of people in the same group then electric bikes are a great choice. The fitness freaks can use minimal assistance (if they do indeed choose to ride electric) and the more leisurely in the bunch can crank the assistance right up. That way you can still ride as a pack and everyone can be satisfied with the amount of effort they are applying. We once had a top triathlete come and ride with us. She was on a standard mountain bike and her husband rode electric. He was so stoked to be able to keep up and actually make her work hard for a change and she enjoyed the workout!
4) Electric Bikes Are Fun!
It’s as simple as that… electric bikes are really fun! Even if you ride a normal bike it is worth giving the e-bike a go. We see adults break into smiles like a kid in a candy shop when they first test ride their electric bike.
5) E-bikes Are Great For Families
Do you have young children that need to be towed in a child trailer or half bike? Make your life easier by going for an electric bike! It works really well.
So don’t be shy! E bikes are for everyone and come highly recommended.
