Infact, we had not been on a bike in years. I live in the mountain and riding is very difficult, always up or down steep hills. For those like me who have bad knees or hips or don't have the time/desire to get in shapeThis bike brings back the enjoyments of mobility and the joy of riding again without worrying about being unable to climb hills and having to walk/push my bike up them for long hauls this tough bik.I was impressed is action Like me, you will look to find excuses to use the Electric Folding mountain bikes Gord Anten,Owner of the Electric Folding Mountain Bikes. we appreciate that the
While riding you have your choice of riding manually, using the pedal assist system or putting the bike on straight electric. The real benefit is the fact you can pedal as much as you want. You choose how much exerciseJanuary; most bikes are safely tucked away in garages. Certainly the majority of club race bikes won't have seen tarmac for a number of months. What keeps the club racers interested in the depths of winter? Mopeds. Saturday 20th January saw BMCRC dropping the flag on moped madness, a 3 hour endurance race open to anyone with a full road licence for the type of machine ridden. The restrictions were simple; up to 80cc geared, or 125cc auto. Although one of the rules 'cheating positively encouraged' laid down the gauntlet. For some this was a pre-season bit of fun, for others this was as serious as sitting on the grid next to Rossi et al. All bikes and leathers were scrutinised and sadly for one team this meant the removal of the bubble wrap they had surrounded their fairings in. The start of the race was a 'Le Mans' style start with all riders running across the width of the track to their machine, starting it, and commencing the race. All set rolling by the drop of the Union Jack. Competition was fierce yet friendly with top MRO and BMCRC club racers knocking elbows with riders who'd freshly passed their CBT.
Surprisingly few of the mopeds retired during the gruelling 3 hour race at the slightly truncated Lydden Hill circuit in Kent. A team even drove to a local Honda dealer to get the rear inner tube on their Piaggio Sfera replaced. They still completed 75 laps and didn't come last. Others suffered from seizures and transmission belt failures. One team in particular struck fear into the hearts of the opposition. Three riders and one Gilera Runner 125; Steve Mercer (2006 Forza Extreme Champion), Chris Bishop (R6 cup rider) and Bob Farnham (respected tuner). Could there have been any other winners? Of course not and they completed an astonishing 207 laps in 3 hours. Four laps clear of second place team which consisted of tuner Phil Seton, motorcycle journalist Rob Hoyles and SS600 racer Andy Weymouth, again on the machine of choice, a Gilera Runner 125. Third place was awarded to a two man team on an AR80 with a final result of 202 laps completed and a best average speed of 58.636mph. This day goes to show that race bikes don't have to have tyre warmers and steering dampers. And, in fact, it can be a whole lot of fun when you swap the race fairings for storage you can fit a spare helmet in, and 125cc of engine. So what do you get when you mix Lydden Hill, a cold January Saturday, 46 knackered mopeds and a whole bunch of club racers? Fun of almost illegal levels. Roll on next year. you desire.Electric Folding Mountain Bike can be
