Staying safe on the road with your e-bike

Since the start of the pandemic, sales of e-bikes have simply skyrocketed. Soon, half of all bikes on the roads in Switzerland will be motor-assisted.

For older people in particular, who can no longer pedal as they did in their younger days, e-bikes offer greater comfort on hills and over longer distances. But these fast bikes also have their pitfalls. The free course ‘amusebike – pedal and enjoy’ shows you
how to deal with them properly.
