On
Sunday, May 27,
the UK National Demo Day is taking place at Dalby Forest in North Yorkshire.
Manufacturers like Santa Cruz, Yeti, Saracen, Carrera and Trek will show off their new goodies. An interesting attraction though, will be the selection of electric mountain bikes from Yorkshire-based
ElectricMountainBikes.com.
Yes, you read correctly,
electric mountain bikes.
The bikes they will be displaying will be equipped with
electric motor kits and state-of-the-art lightweight lithium technology batteries.
Steve Punchard from ElectricMotorBikes.com said,
“The idea is not that they encourage laziness, but increase adrenalin. Riding at higher average speeds especially uphill encourages the body to work harder, so achieving the same rush going uphill as downhill. In a world that is gradually saying no to noisy polluting motor sports, electric mountain biking bridges a gap as more people of all ages get the mountain biking bug!”.
