As someone who is looking at two hip replacement operations in the near future I am truly delighted with the e-bike revolution as it has transformed my ability to actually get out and about on a bike.

I don’t particularly like super long rides, that is why my favourite ride in Wanaka are the three tracks that are on LandEscape itself.

Two years ago I went for a test ride on a very expensive and high-spec electric assist mountain bike. This was my first exposure to an e-bike and it was true love at first ride – I placed an order for one of the bikes on the spot.
