Our range of E-MTB courses suit riders of all abilities from those new to mountain biking through to hardened riders wanting to try something new and try their hand at e-biking. Whether you’re looking to get into e-biking or get the best out of your own e-bike we will help to build skills and confidence.
Here at True North Adventures we have been involved with e-biking for a while, from setting up the first Peak District e-bike guiding company through to working with Lapierre and Haibike in testing and demonstrating bikes at large events. Our guides and instructors have been using and racing e-bikes in the UK and abroad with great results for a number of years.
We also use e-bikes ourselves to great effect to improve and maintain our own riding skills that is directly transferable to traditional mountain biking and racing. We’ve found that bike control and technique is improved from riding an e-bike as all body movements and inputs have be over emphasised due to the added weight and the centre of gravity. The specific skills and technique required takes a little more practice but our specific courses are dedicated to the e-bike.
Which ever you look at it, whats not to love about them, blast up the trail only to get more runs in on the descents or travel further to explore new trails with less effort, its just amazing fun.
We have developed our own private trails and skills area with a number of dedicated features (enduro trail with varying size berms, corners, shutes, rock gardens, roots and ruts, drop offs, jumps and series of table tops), allowing us to focus on specific techniques allowing you to confidently get the most from your E-MTB on the technical sections and downhills too. Whether it’s carrying more speed through corners, hitting jumps and drops or improving your flow on technical trails we can help you.
We use slow motion technology to also give you a clear understanding and insight into your riding so you can visually identify where you’ve got it nailed or where you might need some improvement.
