Riding E Bikes is really fun! Climbing hiking trails on e bikes is...fun, I guess. I was excited to get the ‪@aribikes‬ Timp Peak on this trail to see if could hold a candle to the mad tech climbing skills of ‪@robdrew596‬ . I quickly realized I wasn't in Bentonville anymore!

Here's a few things I learned on this adventure:
1) If you're not pretty good climbing on a "regular" bike, you probably won't be that good on an e bike. A baseline of solid technique is needed to maximize the benefits of the e bike in scenarios like this.
2) We avoided Boost for most of this mission. I leveraged the Eco setting the majority of time and strategically bumped it up into Trail when the pitch got super steep or I was fatigued. However, switching to Trail brings in it's own set of challenges in regards to power delivery.
3) Ratcheting on an e bike is difficult! It takes some time to figure out the nuance of making this work.
I'm pretty stoked on the new ‪@developedsuspension‬ Onyx 38! I'll get a review out on it as soon as I get some more time on it.
