May 24, 2025,EMTB Tour … pfeift der Wind so kalt 🎶…, über Steegskopf zum Esswerk 5 und zurück nach Gebhardshain 🥶💨🤪

My dropper post broke during the tour, so I guess that means I'll have to take my EMTB off for a while and take it to the dealer!? It's a year old but has 4,500km on it.

March 28, 2025,Oh Du schöner Westerwald… EMTB Tour zum Esswerk 5 😃👌 Und 90% im Eco- 10% Tourmodus, andere nicht benutzt.

So, I arrived with 66% battery remaining on my 750WH 😎 Took advantage of the good weather today, went straight to the bike after work, since the weather isn't supposed to be so great this weekend!? Carpe Diem 👍
