My new Bergamont e-bike.. . an armchair on wheels ! (1 Viewer)

[scotjimland]

Finally said enough is enough ..

have cycled all my life, but now 75 have finally decided that an e-bike will suit me better .. not selling my road bike, not yet anyway, I still enjoy it, but it was becoming hard work.. and not as enjoyable as it should be..

So bought a nice step-though with 'sit up and beg' riding style .. it's like cycling in an armchair..

It's a BERGAMONT E-Horizon 4 RT .. German brand, build in Hamburg

Bought from e-Velo , Halesworth, Suffolk

a 2022 model reduced from £2249 to £1449 .. !

Bosch Active Line Plus.. 50 nm mid-drive with 9 speed Shimano gears and hydraulic disc brakes.

Impressed by the frame design and build, paint finish and components are good quality.. and the welding is excellent.. even the battery carrier is welded onto the frame ..

It's really is so very comfortable, and whisper quiet .. really looking forward to some long rides this summer in France ..

First ride last night

Sounds like you are going to get the smile back into riding and forget the pain of those long hills and windy days...
We kept our none eBikes for a short while when we first went over....but not now....
We are on eBikes 7 and 8......used, abused and sold on....on our neighbourhood we have 4 previous bikes with new very happy owners...

you are going to get the smile back

Smile is definitely back..

Weather has been lousy all week.. so not been out for a decent ride until today..

It was cold and quite windy, not ideal but wrapped up well and we took a 14 mile ride to the local forest and back via some country lanes..

Bike is lovely.. happy bunny .. can't wait for the better weather..
