Offers for bikers and their children are in vogue. Logically, many of those who caught the mountain biking bug 10 or 20 years ago now have children and want to take them out on the trails. But most adult mountain bikers also have their parents. Showing them why they love this sport so much is definitely an enrichment for the relationship. The fitness-balancing e-bike is an effective way to take mothers and fathers of advanced age off-road, even if it is the first time for the older generation.
Kathi Kuypers, one of the best slopestylers in the world, persuades her mother to go on an e-bike tour in the Alps. Together they ride the Family & Friends Haute Route from tour provider E-Alps. On leisurely trails, the participants pedal from Val d'Anniviers to Zermatt along the scenic highlights of Valais. From the point of view of the mountain biking part of the family, the time together could hardly be better. Incidentally, Bosch E-Bike Systems makes an advertising appearance in the clip.
