Climbing a 1 in 4 climb on an E-Bike - Orbea D301x vs Mow Cop Killer Mile

In this video I ride my Orbea D30 1X and tackle the Mow Cop Killer Mile. This is a mile long climb that at point reaches a 1 in 4 gradient. It is on the top 100 greatest cycling climbis in Great Britain. Join me in this video to see how the E-Bike (and myself) manage this climb.

Did a climb with this kind of slope in the Lake district, coming out of Ambleside. On a regular (acoustic) bike. And I did have to walk the top 100 feet. Love to know that I could probably still do it, with an ebike!

Well done nice ride and video. Great effort on your climbing. Enjoy your weekend.

[@omcycling]

Thanks Terry

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Really interesting, thank you

[@omcycling]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@LakeDistrictcyclist]

Well done mate, will be on my list to do

[@omcycling]

Most of the climb is OK but the last stretch is 25% gradient and feels vertical.

[@vincekerrigan8300]

@@omcycling Good effort. What gear ratios did you use for the 25% section - chainwheel and rear cog sizes?

[@mattdeery918]

Great video. Thanks

[@omcycling]

Thanks

[@davekosztan4641]

Keep up the good work 👏

I was up Mow Cop in 78, good old days.

[@omcycling]

It is a great place

Hello sir, new subscriber here. Your videos are inspiring to follow. I hope you'll notice this comment of mine. As I plan to get this bike in the future. I see you cycle here in cold days which Mahle x35 battery shouldn't be ridden on extreme hot or cold. MAY I KNOW the coldest temp you've been out to ride, and how many years now is this bike with you? Also, do you think I can leave it in a cold available room in my workplace for 14hrs? Thats when temperature is 3-6° (January March ) Thanks in advance for your reply.

Nice effort, well done, looking at the potential of one of these to help me cycling as I have been suffering tendonitis for over a year and would hope that this would let me ride and take the strain off my calf / ankle.

[@omcycling]

It definitely has helped me reduce the strain.

[@funksoulbrother3620]

This is a good example of what a difference the pedal assist can make to choice of routes. Would you have gone up there on an acoustic bike?

[@omcycling]

I have done it on my other bike but a long time ago. Never heard it referred to as an acoustic bike. The word play made me smile

[@8259lv]

How much battery did you have left? 😅

[@omcycling]

75%

[@richardhall263]

Wow

[@Mindsi]

Just watch out , wet leaves are lethal😮😮😮😮

[@cv507]

maybe put an arm out För the cam so we can see landscäpe in revers öh nö . : ? 45% is 100° xD sö smärt nnööve to cycle in myst... when the phenömmömm could DRäg him alöng ^?^

[@ytr8989]

That motor wasn’t much of a help.

[@omcycling]

It was a lot of a help, but it only an assist and certain amount of work has to come from the rider. On a challenging climb like that rider power failed.
