Few things have been as good in the cycling industry in recent years as the invention, marketing, and rise of ebikes. Electric bicycles were developed for two groups: those who don't want to and those who can't do more strenuous rides. On our tours, I see that there are people who, with a little or a lot of struggle, could still complete their daily routine and climb the hills, but they don't want to spoil the experience of cycling by literally suffering for success. They would rather enjoy the scenery, chat, and enjoy the moment. The other group, however, either due to their age or physical condition, can no longer walk so many kilometers or climb so many levels without assistance. Fortunately, today it is possible to eliminate this “problem” with ebikes. An ebike is a bicycle that has been equipped with an electric drive. This means that an electric motor uses the energy of a high-performance battery to help you pedal. The level of assistance can usually be adjusted in 4 stages. The battery is rechargeable, and with one charge you can ride the bike up to 80-100 km, and if you use it wisely, even more. Of course, this also depends on the difference in altitude, e.g. in pure mountain riding they can climb 1200-1400 m. (Our detailed article - Ebike: motorcycle or bicycle? can be found here!) I have been leading tours for many years on a wide variety of routes: there are large mountains with steep climbs, average tours with hills of 3-400 meters, and there are easier routes where there is hardly any level ground. Today, we have reached the point where there is hardly a tour where an e-biker does not come. In fact, there are e-bike tours specifically. Many people bring their own
