Hello. My name is Haydn, from Cannock, Staffordshire, UK. I've been a keen cyclist for over 40 years, riding road bikes for commuting and leisure rides. I'm a recent convert to e bikes and now the proud owner of a Bianchi e - Road Bike. I've ridden over 2000 miles in the past 6 months and can strongly recommend the Bianchi Impulso. It suits my style of cycling, using the motor to aid the gears, rather than dominating the ride.

I like that it has fender mounts. 
Will do! Give me a week or so (I'm away for a few days).Pretty bike!
Please share your adventures.
yes. I've also equipped the bike with panniers. The ''water bottle'' is in fact an extra battery back up - great for longer rides of 150Km or so.I like that it has fender mounts.
Yes, it rides more like a normal bike - with a tail wind! It rides very well on gravel tracks, and I can tackle quite steep inclines, using the combination of low gears, electricity and sheer muscle power! My first e-bike was a Cannondale Neo2 Road Bike (it was stolen, last year - after a year's service). This had a mid - motor, and you really felt the torque pushing you up those hills. However, I prefer the more subtle feel of the hub motor, and, as I say. it has the feel of a conventional bike, albeit with a perpetual tail wind! I like to feel that I'm CYCLING!!
The longest ride I've attempted on my Bianchi Impulso e - Road Bike is from Cannock to Ironbridge - a 50 mile round trip (see photo). The ride out of the Ironbidge Gorge is very steep ( one chevron on the OS Map). Riding out of the saddle, low bottom gear and motor assist made this a much easier ascent than using a conventional road bike - which I've ridden in the past. Also, the hub motor made gear changes much smoother than a mid - motor assist, when ascending a steep incline.
As you can see on my other photo, I've equipped the bike with panniers and mud - guards. I also use an external battery back - up for long rides.
The only gripe I have is that I can feel some slight motor resistance at the cut off 15mph limit threshold - but that's only minor, and I'm used to it now!
I'm planning a 100 mile ride to the Welsh border, next month - over 2 days, recharging overnight.
