Amazing cinematography. The point this video makes is not just the exhilarating technical challenge of climbing and descending BUT the simple fact of the ability of ebike to transport you to the most scenic and breathtaking terrain in the most fun way. Good one Rob.

Reapect for calling it it’s native/correct name on screen when you summited! I’m Welsh and had never summited there before. I bought an ebike last summer and decided it was time. I took it to Yr Wyddfa in August. It was hands down my best riding experience to date. Epic climb, super enjoyable on an ebike, and the Ranger path back down was amazing! So intense and tech in parts, loved it! I can’t wait to go back and do it again. We also got lucky and chose an incredible morning for it. Great video, Wales has so much to offer for bikes from North to South

Hi Rob & Jon. I saved this video specifically to watch on Sunday morning, over coffee whilst the ladies were still in bed. As someone hitting 50 this year with a history of challenges with my back and more recently family loss and dare I say some mental health challenges that have come with that, I see myself turning the corner and ready to find a challenge to focus on. This video, in all its cinematic beauty was exactly what I needed to see today, glorious, stunning and first class. Thanks. Quick question, you chose the Ranger path to descend over coming back via the llanberis, was there any particular reason to that? Cheers.

Hey Dinos, definitely give it a go! Could go back down the Llanberis path, it is easier that way. We wanted to get some techy bike shots so decided on the Rangers on the way back down.
