For an ever-increasing number of us, riding a bike with a variable level of pedal assistance has some significant benefits.

It may be the difference between being able to keep cycling or not; or so you can keep up with and continue to enjoy the on-road comradeship of the group. It could be so you can confidently tackle longer distances and it’s  great for building confidence, especially for a newbie.

This is reflected within our own VetRide group and a number of our riders, including our ride captain, vice-chair and myself, who have all now made the transition. ‘e-bike or no bike: no brainer’.
