Got my first gravel bike 🙂
I chose an e-bike, as (for now) I will mainly use it to commute a quite hilly route with mixed surfaces. Without an e-bike lazy me would just catch the bus in the morning, so this is just the little push I need to get on the bike in the morning to commute. (Too me this is the small niche where an electric gravel bikes really make sense.)
So far, I really like the Mahle x30, it's a perfect compromise for a little assistance, but not too much. Climbing is definitely still a workout.
It feels very natural to ride and almost without drag above 25 kph.
Also, it's very comfortable to ride with the assistance off (still rides easier then my old MTB).
I also like that I could just change the rear wheel, have the battery removed and still be left with a capable bio gravel bike around 10 kg if I ever feel the motivation to go back to bio.
I found very little about the eSilex 400 on the Internet, so feel free if you have any questions 🙂
