Once the hunger for a beautiful mountainview is satisfied, you quickly become thirsty for exercise. The gentle alpine walks - summer and winter - right outside the front door or the bike laps - easy or difficult - from our Bikegarage, are worth every drop of sweat. The cross-country ski trail on the Lüsener Alm is one of the most beautiful in the neighborhood. As well as the backcountry ski- and snowshoetours in the vicinity. For those who like to leave the ground, it is only a stone's throw to the climbing paradise of the Dolomites or the wild water dream canyon of the Rienz. Not to mention the South Tyrolean paragliding sky. We offer our expert assistance in individual tour planning. Maps and guide material, sledges as well as snowshoes and hiking poles can be borrowed.
ebikes in the mountains? no thanks >
Electric motorcycles are a technical revolution, without a doubt.
In order to avoid primarily car journeys, they are definitely an interesting alternative. In terms of air pollution, noise or parking space, the whole thing, compared to the combustion engine, a completely positive invention. If you take a look at the entire life cycle assessment, the situation looks different again. The reason for the poor environmental balance is the energy-intensive production and the complex recycling process of the batteries.
This essay, however, is about another problem with this HighTechTrend.
The use to reach comfortably alpine regions and the misunderstanding that it is a sports equipment.
Interestingly enough, people who would need a little more physical activity or who never had the idea to do such a strenuous bike ride into the mountains, feel appealing.
And what about the seniors? Hopefully, sooner or later, we will all be seniors, and we would do well to train ourselves in a timely manner in reduction and renunciation. With 70+, you no longer have to cycle across the Alps at any price, or collect thousands of meters of altitude, unless you can do it yourself. What would come next? Alpine Segway or e-scooter? What would be the consistent continuation of this thinking error? An escalator through the Eiger North Face? In the light of demographic change, one can imagine what the future will be like in the mountains. The next generations will have no chance and will not get the chance to experience the Alps at least as much as we seniors were allowed to. Namely without increased traffic by motorized vehicles. In some mountain regions of the Alps, since the invention of the e-bike, it has already spoken of 5 times the traffic volume as before the motorization. Ascending trend.
Intense mountain experiences are always associated with effort and deprivation and there is nothing better than the certainty that you have reached an Alpine destination - no matter how demanding - on your own.
The most natural barrier to protect alpine protected areas from crowds is the original difficulty of mountaineering.
E-bikes are not bicycles but motorcycles!
If you classify them legally as such, the problem would be solved quickly. If there were not all the beneficiaries of this invention. With the growing convenience of society, you can make a lot of money.
Regulations and prohibitions will become inevitable in the near future. Only then will tragically happen. Mountain bikers and e-bikers are lumped together.
Therefore we do not want to support this Trend.
E-bikes in the mountains? No thanks !
Thank you for your understanding.
