The EBike That Conquered Colorado’s Hills: Colorado Riders Test the Ultimate Hill Climbing EBike

Control and Confidence on Steep Descents

Those bikes are so fun to ride down into town, and for us that's about an eight-mile trip that has 600 feet of elevation loss going down into town, which means you've got to turn around and do 600 feet of elevation gain back up, but I never worry. I always know I'm going to make it home with no problem. On the way down into town with those steep hills, I love the disc brakes, and I feel like I'm always very much in control of my speed, and I always feel very comfortable. It's so fun to come down into town, go to the farmer's market, and I know that I can pack this baby with as much fresh produce as I can hold, and the weight isn't going to be any problem getting back up and home.

Smooth Hill Climbing, Visibility, and Safety

When I'm going up a steep hill and I get tired of pedaling, I can just go straight throttle. I don't have to pedal at all. And the throttle is so smooth that I feel like I'm still in perfect control of the bike and my speed. We chose the Sixthreezero bikes a lot because of the color. The beautiful bright colors are awesome, and I feel like it's so easy for cars to see me on the road. And so I feel very safe riding the bike around. And I also love the e-bike part of it because it's so easy to control when you turn the power on or off. So you can easily be riding it like a normal bike, and then once you get to a steep hill, which here in the beautiful state of Colorado.

There's plenty of incline, and so it's easy to just switch that power on and have that give you the extra boost to get up those hills. I'm never worried about going anywhere and not being able to finish the trip back home because I know that my battery will always help get me wherever I need to go. And I love how versatile the bikes can be with all kinds of different accessories. Like the rear-view mirrors and bells and headlights and all kinds of fun extra accessories that are so compatible and easy to install on the Sixthreezero bikes. To take these bikes out on a Saturday afternoon and just cruise around. Definitely a great way to get out of the house, even if it's a bit chilly out. So much as you're riding the bikes and so it's just such a nice way to get to enjoy the great outdoors all throughout the year.

Community and Everyday Riding

And we love riding them around the neighborhood, going to neighbors' houses for foot club and other fun events, and coming over to the community pool in the summers.
