Not sure which assist mode to use?
Find out exactly when to use low and high assistance for base miles, hard efforts and fun rides, so every ride has a purpose.
Riding in boost but not getting any fitter?
Use your e-bike as a tool, not a crutch, and learn how to build genuine fitness even if you only ever ride an e-bike.
Sick of hearing "e-bikes are cheating"?
How to deal with the haters on the trail and online, and let go of any guilt about riding with a motor.
Dodgy knees, hips or back holding you back?
Get stronger for the descents, support niggling joints and handle a heavy bike over fences and into the van.
Riding with mates on normal bikes?
Balance your e-bike with a non-powered bike, ride well with non-powered riders and make the move back if that's your goal.
