How do I get the best from my e-bike?

Electric bikes offer the possibility of electric and pedal-assisted riding, as the bike caters to different age groups. It's perfect for young people who want to explore different horizons and limits on their bike, as well as older people who need help with different parts of the road and the ride itself.

 

1. Correctly adjust the electric bicycle suspension

What contributes to a better riding experience is properly tuned suspension. The suspension needs to be tuned for your riding weight. Here you'll also need to include full riding gear, pads, backpack and helmet. Manufacturers usually display a table that includes and recommends optimal fork air pressure.

 

2. Low tire pressure

This means the tire pressure should be lower. For example, ideal tire pressure is around 1.4 to 1.8 bar. This of course depends on tire size, tire width, and rider weight.

 

3. Lower the seat post

A dropper-style seatpost contributes to a more efficient, comfortable ride. Put your saddle down for the practice you're about to do. If you already have a dropper seatpost, adjust it for the type of riding you'll be doing.

 

4. Flat pedals

Flat pedals bring, transmit and inspire greater confidence when perfecting your riding technique. You can react quickly to take your foot off the pedal. This will prevent it from getting stuck, which is the case with clipless pedals.

 

5. Balance your e-bike

Due to a slight tilt or a strong pedal kick. To balance, stand on the pedals in the center of the electric fat tire bike. Keeping the cranks level, place your entire body weight fully on the pedals. The position of the body requires the knee not to be straight but to have a certain curvature.

Hold the handlebar with both hands to control the direction. When pedaling hard with your whole body weight, you barely feel the pressure on your hands. This helps and is the best way to balance your electric assist bike.

 

6. Uphill

The ideal position is to ride your 1000w ebike to the side of the road, facing up, at a 45-degree angle to the slope. This will work as long as the trails are not too narrow. This is an easier position to climb on the e-bike.

When climbing hills, keep the bike braked front and rear so you don't back up. To climb uphill from a height, be sure to sit in the saddle and raise the outside pedals to the level of the downtube. Position the front wheels in the direction you want and focus on the road ahead of you.

 

You will experience a completely different, more professional and more enjoyable mountain electric bike riding.
