Leeds Short Test Ride Route
A very short one-mile ride from the front door of the Leeds shop is enough to show you the benefits of an E-bike (or any bike you're demo-ing). Head along Woodland Lane past the park and turn left down Pasture Lane. The cul-de-sac here is quiet and has half a dozen parallel very steep climbs, while the climb back up Pasture Lane itself goes on a little longer. We reckon it’s 1 in 6 by counting the bricks on the adjacent houses, although google maps doesn’t seem to know how steep they are.

Leeds Longer Test Ride Route
Our longer route takes you out round Roundhay Park and back, and you’ll be surprised how quickly it’ll be over given that it takes you up the notorious Little Switzerland climb through Gledhow Valley Woods and comes back the same way and up the 1 in 6 climb of Gledhow Lane back to the shop. We guarantee you’ll be faster up both than ever before. It’s tarmac all the way, even on the wide path through the park.

Further Afield
The two suggested routes are all on hard surfaces and are idea for testing our hybrid E-bikes and for getting a first taste of the power of an Electric MTB. If you want to really get to grips with the MTBs, and go and get them muddy, book a one or two day demo and we’ll be happy to provide a route round local trails or for you to take them further afield.
