“This was our first e-bike experience and they upped the convenience and fun factor of our trip exponentially”, says Emily Zarrow of @hikeology. “We took the bikes out for a spin on the Alpine Pedal Path–a lakeside paved bike and walking path that is fairly flat, but does have some slight hills and a few rugged sections. 

The Shimano electric motor pedal-assist is such a win: you get just enough assistance to help you up those hills without feeling like a total cheat. And, with the 9-speed gear set and thicker tires–even if your battery dies–you’ll never feel stranded!” #linuselectric #ebike
