“I was a keen mountain biker until I started experiencing back problems. I ended up having more than one surgery and thought that would be the end of mountain biking for me. But an eBike changed that. Not only did I get back into riding again, I got really excited to ride. My husband and his friends are all very strong, committed riders and even on a regular eBike it was a challenge to stay with them. At times I wasn’t able to match their speed on the flats. But once I had the Echo101-Plus conversion done, I was able to ride with them anywhere! I’m addicted to the thrill of speed and by having the Echo101-Plus conversion, I can ride as fast as I want to. I get to ride faster, cover more distance, see more and have more fun!”

“I have a deteriorating spine and I’m a farmer and a keen mountain biker. Buying my eBike has given me the confidence I’d lost and it’s allowed me to ride with my mates again. But once I’d got the Echo101-Plus eBike chip, it’s made a huge difference to my riding! I used to do the fence check on my farm in my bakkie. But with the speed now delimited on my eBike, I can do the same task on my eBike in a similar amount of time and get the benefit of the exercise! The Echo101-Plus conversion isn’t just about speed though. It’s also about torque. I have a tough hill on my farm that I climbed at a maximum of 22kph on my eBike before. Once I had the chip conversion done, I can ride up it at 34kph! It’s definitely worth the money for the Echo101-Plus conversion and the service was very efficient and professional.”

“Being an ex-professional road cyclist, where speed was everything, turning to mountain biking was a very challenging conversion for me. I initially lacked the technical ability of seasoned mountain bikers, but I still wanted to ride fast. Buying an eBike changed that for me because it enabled me to ride more and get better on the technical sections. Having the Echo101-Plus conversion was an even greater boost, enabling me to ride at places I would never dream of going before. It has also given me the confidence to ride technical and difficult uphills that I wasn’t able to tackle on my eBike before it was ‘chipped’. I own five bicycles, but now that I have had the Echo101-Plus conversion, I only choose to ride my eBike now. It puts a smile on my face every time!”
