Survey: Can eMTBing change lives?

We asked almost 400 eMTBers worldwide how eMTBing has impacted their lives. With today’s busy schedules we all need a little help to maximise our fun. We believe eMTBs have the power to make us healthier, happier and fitter, but do you agree too? Oh and by the way: It is addictive!
