The correct riding skills for electric mountain bikes

Electric mountain biking is riding in the mountains, so climbing has become an indispensable part of this sport. In addition to having a strong physique and sufficient strength, the correct riding skills also help the rider to successfully cope with a variety of mountain trails.

Whether the bicycle can be driven forward and upward depends on two key factors:

One is the operation and strength of the power transmission system, and the other is the friction between the wheels and the ground. The operation and strength of the drivetrain are directly related to the strength and strength of the rider’s body. The friction is related to the riding technique, the type of bicycle tire, the position of the center of gravity of the rider’s body, and the pressure of the tire.

 ●The secret of steep hillsides, soft-textured shimmering stone roads and low friction to ensure that the bicycle keeps moving forward during the crawling process lies in the distribution of the rider’s body weight, the riding posture, the amount of strength, the way of pedaling and The coordination between the best routes is at its best. The weight distribution is when climbing steep and difficult slopes. Some riders are accustomed to adopting a standing posture. This is more effective on hard, frictional ground, but in typical off-road sports, the situation is quite different. The same.

At this time, cycling skills showed its important role. The driver should try to move the body’s center of gravity to the rear of the seat to increase the pressure on the rear wheels, thereby increasing friction. But in doing so, the front wheel is easy to tilt up, making it difficult to ride the bicycle, and it may also tip over backwards. If the center of gravity is moved forward, the front wheel will not leave the ground, but the rear wheel may spin idly on the ground with relatively soft soil. As a result, the bicycle will be difficult to move.

 ●The riding posture takes into account the various factors mentioned above, the rider should adjust the position of the body’s center of gravity at any time according to the terrain. In order to achieve the best distribution of body weight, the rider’s buttocks may just sit gently on the front of the seat.

 ●The amount of power and the way of pedaling In order to be able to drive the bicycle forward, the rider must continuously and smoothly transmit energy to the power system. If the force is too large, the friction may be reduced; if the force is too small, it may slow down the vehicle or cause the bicycle to stop. If you slam the pedal up and down, instead of making the pedal circulate smoothly, the wheels will slip due to the reduced friction with the ground and idling on the ground.

●The various rules that apply to technical climbing when climbing steep slopes also apply to technical climbing. The only difference is that technical climbing does not require the rider to find a suitable cycling route, as long as the rider can find a way between rocks, ravines or obtrusive tree roots. Look at the ground within 5 meters ahead and choose the best lane. However, once the cycling route is determined, don’t change it arbitrarily.

 ●Long-distance climbing general riding rules are applicable in this kind of sport, but the specific rules should be determined according to the difficulty of the terrain and the size of the slope. However, in order to be able to ride the entire distance, the rider must do what he can and choose the right speed and gear ratio. To conquer all slopes, the rider needs to be physically strong, have enough strength, master considerable riding skills, and be able to adopt a correct attitude towards sports.

 In the beginning, some riders were not strong enough to cope with certain types of slopes. However, with enough exercise, the situation can be improved. When you first start training, don’t aim at the whole mountain. Start where you can handle it first, and then gradually transition to a more difficult step. In addition, remember that as long as the goal can be achieved, don’t care about when. If you are confident that you can conquer most slopes, you need to consider speed.

●How to re-start the bicycle on the soft and steep slope

Once the bicycle has stopped on a slope, it is not easy to start again. The driver must get out of the car, walk a few steps forward, or back a few steps, and choose a suitable place to start again. The selected place must be flat with high friction, such as a relatively flat rock. At the same time, select a gear with a transmission speed ratio that is not too large, as long as it can cope with the current situation.

If it is too large, the bike may break down. After choosing the right gear, use the most used and strongest leg to pedal the bicycle while holding down the brake. When the bicycle starts to move forward, put the other foot on the pedal, and then apply force steadily. , Accelerate until you return to the predetermined lane. Another better way is to park the bike diagonally in the lane, and then turn the front of the bike over after it is started.
