Took my new Kalkhoff Agattu out for its first reasonable ride today, my better half (Dawn) took her new Raleigh Dover. Distance 6 miles, which is nothing really, but its a start.
There are NO flat sections of road where i live, its always been either slogging up hills or flying down them. I have a circular route that's just over 6 miles and every year i use this to gauge my fitness (or lack of it)
This route contains 3 testing hills, i used to manage all 3 (just) but for the last 2 years one hill has defeated me, Dawn used to get off at all 3.
What a difference the Pedelecs made, we both flew up all three, very windy so not that comfortable in the cross winds, but head winds no problem.
These bikes are an absolute delight.
Roll on finer weather so we can really get out and about and put them to a proper test.
