Newbie from the Netherlands

[SaberOne]

Hello everyone!

I’m currently exploring the exciting world of e-MTBs and thought this forum would be the perfect place to learn and share experiences. I’m from the Netherlands, where the trails might not be mountainous, but there are still plenty of great rides to be had!

I’m looking for an e-MTB that can help me stay fit while providing the right amount of electric support due to some health challenges. For me, it’s all about finding the perfect balance between physical effort and motor assistance to keep enjoying the outdoors and staying active.

I’m still in the research phase, so any advice, tips, or recommendations are more than welcome. Looking forward to learning from your experiences and hopefully sharing mine soon as well!

Happy riding!

Ps; say hi to my son and family who are in Geldrop. He’s tried to explain to me how flat it is there.

Whereabouts in the Netherlands? I was visiting my mate in Eindhoven recently and it's flatter than a witch's tit!

All witches are not alike (fyi).

My son said that he found a speed-bump (Topaz for our Spanish speaking friends)around his area.

It's quite flat indeed! But I live near Breda. But Geldrop is not that far away.

this has gone from emtb's to witches tits, nice but in relation to your bike make sure its pedal assist and go something with a bosch motor, I am using a cube reaction hybrid pro and am loving it. you can go quickly with not much effort in turbo or use a lot of effort and cruise in eco.

Goedemorgen...

You mention trails and I am assuming off-road/cross country as you are looking at electric mountain bikes. Your health issues may indicate a certain type of bike but you don't mention the nature of the issues. I have leg issues following spinal surgery so I need assistance for climbs only. I went for a full fat Merida initially but soon lost weight and now mainly ride a lightweight e-mtb. I do keep the Merida for the sloppy winter rides...

What I am saying is; decide on the type of trails, use your health issues to define the type bike/assistance and then go with the best fit you can find at the price you have budgeted.
