I love my e-bike. I would never be able to travel in and out the Valley, where I live, if it wasn’t for my e-bike and even that was hard at first but such an achievement when I finally mastered it. I now bike to work 3 times a week and use the electric part of the bike as little as I can and it’s comforting to know it’s there if I need it.

My romance with my bicycle started when I was just 4 Years old and increased ever since. I just love my bike, love being outdoors, love nature, love to be fit and healthy, love to save petrol and ... lees meer
