"Once I had friends riding e-bikes it changed once again. The e-MTB became a training tool. I was riding for two hours straight with my World Cup racer friends and we were barely talking. No waiting around at the top of descents, the loop quickly became like one long track. The riding here at home is really steep and it meant we were riding on the days we would usually stay at home and getting a lot more descending in than a usual day on our MTBs. E-bikes haven’t replaced normal rides for me, they're an additional ride altogether."
