Hey everyone! Great to see such a friendly and passionate e-bike community here.
I’ve been riding e-bikes for a while now, and recently, I got my hands on a lightweight mid-drive e-bike that’s been an absolute game-changer for both city commutes and off-road adventures. It’s got a powerful 250W mid-drive motor, a long-range 630Wh battery, and hydraulic disc brakes for solid stopping power. What I love most is how smooth and natural the pedal assist feels, it’s like getting an extra boost exactly when you need it!
Took it on some scenic trails last weekend, and it handled everything from gravel paths to steep climbs effortlessly. Curious—what’s your favorite kind of terrain to ride on? Always looking for new spots to explore!

Welcome, Hellen. I’ll bet you’ve got great places to ride in NZ!

My favorite rides are either graveled paths or slightly-groomed single-track. Sometimes a blast through the rough is great too. Roads are least favorite, but there’s no option around here (particularly in winter).

Best wishes, and just curious what bike you got. I know I have found my big fat-tire ebike to be transformative to my lifestyle. Glad you’re loving you ebike!
