  • Looking to get the most out of your new electric mountain bike? Wondering how to maximize your climbing prowess before pointing your eMTB down a sketchy North Shore line? In this truly electric edition of Pick-A-Part, Wade Simmons teams up with fellow North Shore sender Steve Vanderhoek to cover everything from pre-ride e-MTB setup to adapting climbing techniques to staying planted in steep chutes with a bit of extra battery weight on your bike.

    I’ve been mtbing since the 80s I’m in my 60s and haven’t had this much fun on my new husqavrna ebike since I raced my first kamikaze in 94. I am re-energized. Love it.

    Favorite series on the interweb! Wade, you made my summer with the tip of dragging the brakes on the skinnies. This winter, I've been ebiking more and keep getting caught using too much torque at the wrong spots on some of the technical climb sections. Would have never thought to drag the brakes while trying to get up and over. Counter intuitive, but makes so much sense. 🍻

    I came from BMX and dirt bikes. 2nd hour on eMTB I was dragging rear brake on uphill switchbacks, like it's a clutch. It's interesting that it takes a conventional MTB rider a while to arrive at that technique.

    Yo, Wade... Are you clipping in on your meat bike these days too? Or just riding clips with the motor and flats without? I found the extra control and ability to cheat a little bit with clips super helpful on the E bike, but I keep bouncing back and forth.
