50+, asthma, overweight it had to be a eMTB or nothing

[Gaz Corra]

Hey, a normal bike kills me, so i had a 48hr ebike test ride, rode 10 miles and could still talk at the end, so i bought a eMTB as i am not into road cycling, looking forward to some off-road fun to increase my fitness and lose some weight. I live near Myddle, Shrewsbury UK.

Hey man congrats on your new purchase. What bike did you go for in the end?

I purchased a Cube Stereo Hybrid 120 EXC 500, it is awesome.

Well done Gaz; that exercise will do you wonders in the health stakes

Cheers

Welcome and well done for taking the plunge... I'm 51yrs young, ex rugby player (of 34yrs) with athritic hips and wrecked knees... I was in the same position -> test rode an ebike and actually enjoyed it rather than wondering how I was going to get home
Already started to drop some weight and each ride is becoming easier

Thanks for the message and glad to hear you are finding your ebike fun and enjoyable, the main benefit for me is being able to do some form of exercise that does not make things worse (suffer from lower back pain when i walk 30+ meters) I do not have any back pain when i am cycling and when i am really worn out i can use turbo mode to get home lol.
