How E-bikes perform in city traffic
"Especially when it is important to accelerate quickly in order to achieve a safe driving position among all those cars and busses, E-bikes do have a clear advantage", team member Eva Farkas stated after the tour. The team also tested the Raleigh Electro-bicycles in comparison to regular mountain bikes on the famous Asparuchovo bridge, Bulgaria´s longest bridge with a length of two kilometers. "Using an Electro-bicycle, it is much easier for example to stand heavy sidewinds when you work up your way towards the highest point of the bridge", Farkas reported. At the end of a long city-tour, the team took a closer look at Varna´s harbour area. There, some kids had a lot of fun by testing the Raleigh-bikes spontaneously. Their judgement was short and clear: "This is cool, man."
