Senior Cyclists Ebike Story: Four 73-Year-Olds' 90km E-Bike Adventure

When four seasoned cyclists in their early 70s entered the TRUCKRUN premises, they brought not only their rich cycling experience but also an endless passion, embarking on a memorable adventure with electric bikes (ebikes). These individuals, with an average age of 73, stand as shining examples of cycling enthusiasts, and their dedication is truly inspiring.

They set out from Shanghai at 7 a.m., cycling for a full five hours, covering a distance of approximately 90 kilometers before reaching TRUCKRUN. However, their visit was more than just an ordinary cycling journey; it was an opportunity to maintain and upgrade their electric bikes, with a particular focus on updating their displays. These ebike enthusiasts had collectively accumulated remarkable mileage. One senior rider had already cycled an impressive 31,600 kilometers, with others surpassing the 20,000-kilometer mark.

Representatives Mr. Huang and Ms. Qiu from TRUCKRUN warmly welcomed these four experienced cyclists, ensuring they felt right at home. Furthermore, Mr. Chen, the After-Sales Service Manager, and Mr. Di, the Technical Expert, devoted a significant amount of time and effort to service and upgrade their electric bikes. As a token of gratitude for their dedication and enthusiasm, TRUCKRUN provided this maintenance service entirely free of charge.

At the TRUCKRUN premises, these seasoned cyclists not only received motor maintenance and display upgrades but also had the opportunity to explore the company's laboratories and showrooms. During their visit, they shared their cycling experiences and joys. These cycling enthusiasts ride a minimum of 30 kilometers every day and frequently embark on long-distance journeys to cities such as Tianjin, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, and Kunming.

Riding hong-brand bikes with TRUCKRUN's M01 mid-drive motor, their feedback emphasized the quiet and stable operation, as well as comfortable power output produced by the ebikes in response to pedal force, thanks to the mid-drive motor's torque sensor. They noted that TRUCKRUN's mid-drive motor can maintain an adequate power output while helping them achieve a workout, making the riding experience incredibly natural. Mr. Liu said, "TRUCKRUN is not just an excellent motor manufacturing company; it's also a creative and innovative cycling club." Besides offering a means for excursions, ebikes provide an excellent way for them to stay active during retirement. As Mr. Wang put it, "Retirement life can be quite boring, but with electric bikes, I can travel to distant places. I even want to ride outdoors every day."

What made their visit even more exciting was their keen interest in TRUCKRUN's laboratories. One of the riders, Mr. Han, is a retired technical engineer with a profound understanding of electric motor principles. They were particularly impressed with high-powered models like the 1200W mid-drive motor M09 and the 1500W hub motor RW29. To satisfy their curiosity, they test-rode these powerful ebikes together with TRUCKRUN's technical personnel, experiencing the boundless potential of future cycling. Mr. Wang exclaimed, "These bikes are fantastic; I want one too!" In response, Miss Qiu said, "Certainly, if there weren't any regulations limiting speed to 25 km/h."

This encounter with these four experienced cyclists not only provided a unique experience but also an opportunity to inspire innovation. TRUCKRUN is dedicated to developing more innovative and advanced electric bikes to meet the needs of riders of all age groups. This meeting was not only a delightful experience but also a source of inspiration to carry forward the cycling culture, inspiring more people to seek passion and freedom in life. The stories of these cycling enthusiasts are not only admirable but also a beautiful testament to the spirit of cycling, encouraging us to continue exploring the world and moving forward. As an ebike motor manufacturer and supplier, TRUCKRUN is committed to providing quality mid-drive and hub motors that are affordable for enthusiasts and riders of all ages.
