Oh, how many batteries our mountain electric bike has! This is a question that often comes up when we discuss mountain biking. In addition, to be honest, we also thought about this topic before buying! To prepare this article, we turned to experts for advice and carefully studied the Internet. It doesn't look like it, but we laughed! 🤣 Yes, we laughed because some of the websites we consider trustworthy, including specialist brand websites, advise us to… “driving without assistance”! Wait… if I buy a VTTAE, it's good that I'll need electrical assistance ⚡️ right?! It's like a smartphone salesperson telling you, "To make the most of your battery life...

First take the bike out of the box. Remove the packaging from the bike. On the trunk at the back of the bike (where the pedals are) you will find the keys. Then assemble the stem and secure it with the quick coupler. For assembly, you will need several tools: A 4, 5 and 6 mm wool wrench. 15mm open end wrench. 13mm open end wrench. Phillips screwdriver Let's start by adjusting the saddle: on the seatpost, the white line is the minimum limit for inserting the saddle. The dotted lines correspond to the maximum saddle height limit. Install the saddle as you wish, then secure it with the quick release lock. If the quick coupling closes too easily, tighten the nut slightly if the quick coupling...

In order to pedal efficiently, it is not enough to apply significant force to the pedals (bioenergetic dimension) 🙄, it must also be efficiently oriented (biomechanical and technical dimension), otherwise mechanical work will be lost. Since pedaling is repeated thousands of times during a mountain bike ride, which can last up to 6-7 hours with effort (between 30.000 and 40.000 revolutions), pedaling efficiency affects the level of pedaling, general and muscle fatigue of the cyclist. Thus, pedaling technique (“pedal travel”) contributes greatly to the performance of a mountain biker, and understanding how it works allows you to optimize it. MTB Pedaling Analysis The ideal movement is to constantly change the force applied to the pedal "in direction". In physics, a force acting on a lever is more effective when it...

An essential accessory for cycling, handlebars (or handlebars) come in a variety of shapes and have several characteristics to consider when riding without any nasty surprises. Hangers come in a variety of diameters, lengths, shapes, and are made from a variety of materials, most commonly aluminum or carbon. Aluminum handlebars are usually the cheapest, but they are also the heaviest. These different materials have characteristics specific to each, so it is difficult to get empirical data. On the other hand, when it comes to geometry, certain parameters must be taken into account. That's why when you're researching rudder geometry, you have to take into account several values, including "raise", "sweep" ("raise up" and "reverse"), diameter. and width (length). Sunrise » Rise is in…

Your first long outings, especially after a few weeks of not skiing, were undoubtedly accompanied by something we all, all of us, could do without: a little 11am pomp. At the start, we are fresh as cockroaches, full of energy and enthusiasm, happy to find this uncomfortable saddle and little loners in the forest. Kilometers follow one after another, climb too. And there we remember that we have not done anything for a long time, we tell ourselves that the promised great point of view has not yet arrived, and ... "Wait guys, I'm taking a little break!" There is no harm! We call this hypoglycemia, or pump stroke, or barbell stroke, and we explain how to learn to manage this situation. Causes of hypoglycemia A small reminder of the lessons ...

How to suffer less in the hills on mountain bikes: This is the question that most mountain bikers ask themselves. Either because they want to increase their dose of fun while hiking, or because they need performance to achieve a specific goal, such as a race or raid. We'll see what mechanically comes into play when a mountain biker approaches a hill, categorize the different types of climbs, and then determine what training needs to be done to improve. Theory: what is the impact of mountain biking? A little physics, not too much, I promise. The elementary physics we learn in high school helps us find the important points for more efficient mountain biking uphill. Rider power to weight ratio is…

There is a recurring question or issue regarding GPS altitude accuracy and altitude difference. Although it may seem trivial, obtaining an accurate height is a difficult task, in the horizontal plane you can easily put a tape measure, rope, geodesic chain, or accumulate the circumference of a wheel to measure the distance. on the other hand, it is more difficult to place a meter 📐 in a vertical plane. GPS elevations are based on a mathematical representation of the shape of the Earth, while topographic map elevations are based on a vertical coordinate system associated with the globe. Therefore, these are two different systems that must coincide at one point. Altitude and elevation change are parameters that most cyclists, mountain bikers, hikers and mountaineers will want to consult with after a hike.…
