Rob Back

5’10, 16 stone (102kg) unfit, works in an office as an engineering manager and don’t get out much. I used to sail competitively and race motocross bikes. I rode a z900 for may years, going to all the festivals at the weekends when I was not sailing and had a scream. Got knocked off the bike by a drunk driver and damaged my back. He only got a fine and 6 points, I was house bound for 18months. It killed the sailing and bikes for me and I became a professional spectator. Although the back is ok now the wife will not let me on the road on two wheels, I dont like it but as the main wage earner in our household don’t disagree. So I looked to see what I could do and mountain biking looked like the answer. I got given a hardtail Trex, I went out done a few trails, I loved it but I had to walk up the hills, that put me off so I stopped going and just went round my local woods.
The wonders of YouTube and the internet.
I’m an avid reader and started to read about eBikes and followed EMBN &?Seth’s bike hacks. The rest is history I guess, at 59 years old I’m about to embark on a new hobby with a new group of friends, that’s exciting.
