The motor is providing 250 x 0.25 = 62w up that hill, maybe you're providing 3.5w peddling per kg, say you weigh 80 kg that's a combined 342 watts maybe, that climb alone requires around 380ish watts, so understandable you'd have to stand up a bit to provide some extra power output, and the more the ride goes on your peddling wattage is also going down making it harder, thus the heavy breathing. Good effort. To answer the question no one asked what incline is comfortable without any effort from the cyclist here, its around 5-8%.
Many thanks for the entertaining presentation of the new Eovolt! And: A really fantastic environment...
Cheers and thanks for the comment
More Afternoon Pro videos please!
Will try our best !
Cant wait to get one!
Great to hear, please it's a special piece of kit 👍

Thanks for the maths Andy and yes it took a combination of the bike and me to get up there.
No chance with just me :-)
Was it the lens of the camera or was that bus driver at 4:14 way too fast/close on that pass?
A little close but the lens made it look closer than it was..
You look very tired... To reach the max speed on a slope like this... you need to die when paddling...
It's a extremely steep hill that you wouldn't ride up on a 20" wheel folding bike but wanted to show it can be done with the automatic gearbox 👍
@@eovoltuk Great point ! thanks, that's awesome that you tried it.
I would rather test myself using my own legs. After all, even at 68, I'm not disabled or infirm, or importantly, lazy
Hi Paul
Demo rides will be available from our retailers.
We highly recommend a demo ride as the quality of the ride is very apparent.
