E-MTB – driving technique

E-MTB driving technique - the video app by Stefan Schlie, multiple German champion and vice world champion in various trial categories to learn the right driving technique

See for yourself: The app is free and you can download and use 6 of the 36 videos for free.
New bicycle technology, new possibilities: To look at the EMTB only as a further development of the mountain bike, would be too short-sighted. If only pedalling with muscle power, you will hardly experience an uphill flow!
But first the basics should be trained. The E-Bike reacts differently than a classic mountain bike, simply because of the higher weight and the different centre of gravity. In order to be on the road safely and with maximum fun on the EMTB, the riding technique expert and multiple German champion and vice world champion Stefan Schlie reveals the most important tricks and tricks when braking, carrying, taking curves, cycling on gravel and in the trail.
First steps: Choose your basic position, balance exercises, brakes and support levels correctly.
Basics of driving technique: constant body centre (of gravity), body's own suspension travel, technique in taking corners, and pedal management
Downhill and uphill moves for experts
Bike Optimization: Hardware (gears, brakes and seat post) and tips for range optimization
For even more in-depth information: the "Uphill-Flow" driving technique book that fits this app

Overcoming rock steps seemingly weightless, driving serpentines, mastering steep ramps: especially uphill it quickly becomes clear how much more fun an EMTB can provide. If you want to exploit the possibilities of technology, you should be able to ride your E-Bike safely off-road - with Stefan Schlie's tips, that's no problem!
