# My first E-Bike experience through the Bradshaw mountains - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/my-first-e-bike-experience-through-the-bradshaw-mountains/ - Published: 2021-04-06T05:59:44-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout **E-bikes were included** as part of the all-inclusive rate at Castle Hot Springs, so of course I had to try one. I’ve been biking since I first learned how to pedal without training wheels, but as I’ve come into my fifth decade here on earth, I find that having an assist getting up hills or powering longer distances is a much needed bonus. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/HipstamaticPhoto- 630183183.809771.jpg?resize=640%2C480&ssl=1) **A quick tutorial on the basics** of how to use the E-bike was given, then I find myself along the dirt roads that wind through the Bradshaw mountains. Hills that would normally drain my legs of all energy now become easy climbs, I just hit the button to get a little push from the e-bikes motor. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/HipstamaticPhoto- 630155147.550185.jpg?resize=640%2C480&ssl=1) **People off roading** in their Jeeps, trucks and four wheelers wave as I pass through their dust. I’m able to go deep into the desert mountains and find such stillness among the mighty Saguaro’s. **Two and half hours later**, I come back to the resort, having just avoided a collision with a pack of burros. In fact, I can still hear them braying as I return the bike. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/my-first-e-bike-experience-through-the-bradshaw-mountains/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20My%20first%20E-Bike%20experience%20through%20the%20Bradshaw%20mountains&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fmy-first-e-bike-experience-through-the-bradshaw-mountains%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/my-first-e-bike-experience-through-the-bradshaw-mountains/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/my-first-e-bike-experience-through-the-bradshaw-mountains/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/my-first-e-bike-experience-through-the-bradshaw-mountains/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/my-first-e-bike-experience-through-the-bradshaw-mountains/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
