    Shimano Steps range

    I would like to thank the many people making sensible replies to a definite problem regarding the advertised range of the Ridgeback Electron plus. As I am 71 years of age and enjoy cycling I decided on an ebike. The range stated by Ridgeback is obviously a fiction. I am very aware that hills...

    Shimano Steps range

    I haven't cycled the 77 miles since you last asked. Your comments are unhelpful quite unlike all the others who are eager to help with a problem regarding the advertised range of ebikes.

    Eco range on Ridgeback electron plus

    Eco range on Ridgeback electron plus

    I have recently purchased a Ridgeback electron plus ebike. The advertised range on an Eco setting is 125km which is about 77 miles. I appreciate that this is very dependent on the weight of the rider, the hilliness of the terrain, headwinds etc. However on a fully charged battery and all...
