General E-Bike Discussion Fitness for e-biking....
So, after being an e-mtb owner (Aventon Current) for about 2 weeks....Whoever says that having an emtb "isn't really a workout" - is WRONG. Hahahahaha! I was swapping stem sizes to get the right cockpit fit, but also get the right "speed" and comfort when turning the handlebars...I finally figured that since the bike is much heavier that just is the nature of it and there is a limitation to what stem-adjustments can do. This directly translates into bike-handling and if you are a rider who likes to move around on the bike, the weight is there. I kinda think of it now as an upside - now my upper body is getting a better workout as well. On the flip side, I finally got to stay in "Zone 2" for my HR above 80% of more chill rides I do. #fatburningzone
