Meiqi editor filmed and reported the 28th Taiwan Tour in 2016. At that time, the fifth stop of the Tourist Cup was the most difficult stage in the whole process. The contestants bravely climbed the "sacred mountain" - the Wutai tribe of the Taiwanese indigenous Lukai tribe. The way includes 2 second-level climbing points and 1 first-level climbing point. The section before the finish line has 15% to 17% steep slopes. It was raining that day, and the entire "sacred mountain" was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see the true face of the mountain. There were only riders who were breathing heavily and blushing in the picture.
At that time, RobbieHUCKER won the single-stop championship and personal total score in the fifth stage. Yellow shirt
In March 2018, the Fun Ride Media Camp cycling event sponsored by Wheelhouse Events and sponsored by KS, Novatec and Xingshengyang brought the cross-strait bicycle media representatives to experience the famous "Shenshan" route.
Compared with the design of UCI 2.1 level competition, the media experience route is short, only 62 kilometers, but it contains all the essence (the hardest to climb) sections without discount, with a total climb of 1,903 meters. The media group started from the Quanlian Welfare Center in the city, experienced the "light abuse" climbing section and enjoyed an indigenous lunch at the Dajiaofali Food Shop. Then they began to experience the "hard abuse" climbing the wall. They passed by the Sande Inspection Office where beautiful police officers were stationed (the team must report in advance to go up the mountain), and finally arrived at the Wutai Tribe, tasted the local specialty dessert "Aiyu", and stayed in the Dawu B&B run by the indigenous people at night.
The scenery along the way of riding the sacred mountain
The reason why this place is a cycling resort is because of the good road conditions, few motor vehicles, invincible scenery, and challenging slope
It was not until dusk that the team rode the entire journey (this picture is from CB Shenlong)
"Shenshan Aiyu" is a famous Taiwanese product. The indigenous people took it from Aiyuzi, which was successfully pollinated on the mother tree. They rubbed it out of the slurry in water and let it sit, forming a "Aiyujiu" with a taste similar to jelly, which is used to relieve heat in summer and refresh the mouth.
As a representative of the American riding industry, I am one of the only two women in the team. The organizer is convenient for sending "concert" care, and let me test ride the IKIN 700C 105-level electric power bicycle provided by Xingshengyang, rather than the "traditional" road bike obtained by male peers. Feminists may be a little angry when they encounter this situation. Fortunately, I am more open-minded and I don’t refuse new things immediately. After all, I have to taste it myself to know what pears taste like.
Who will climb to the end first? Is it the female editor of the vegetable leg of the e-bike who rides limited power, or is the editor-in-chief Huang, a cyclist who likes to wear "FTP 300" printed on the market who rides Argon-18 without a road bike that doesn't help?
IKIN mid-mounted motor moped series, with curved handle, straight handle and fat tire version. The target customers are riders who hope that the whole family can experience the fun of outdoor riding together, because the car can help weaker family members keep up with the team in various situations.
The IKIN 700C 105 level-bar electric moped I tried to ride uses a 6061 aluminum alloy frame, a SHIMANO 105 rear transmission, KMC's 11-speed chain, tooth disc is a 34t single disc, and the flywheel is 11-32t. In theory, such a combination should allow the knight to climb hills relatively easily. The 35C outer tire allows beginners to bend confidently, and the depth of the tread is in line with the leisure positioning.
electronic components are purchased from Taiwan's MPFDrive Company, which focuses on the research and development of e-bike mid-motors, located in Tainan's bicycle industry circle. The car I ride is equipped with the company's fifth-generation mid-mounted motor, with an output power of 250W to 350W and a motor component weighing 4.8kg.
According to relevant regulations in Taiwan, when the speed of a riding electric moped exceeds 25km/h, the power supply should be able to automatically suspend power supply within 3 seconds; at any speed, the motor should stop power output within 3 seconds of stopping pedaling.
Wouldn’t you be destined to fall behind when you slow down? You need to understand the hidden operations of this system.
The control button of the motor is set on the left side of the handlebar. Since it is a single-disc system, there is no dial on the left side, the Knight can control the motor more attentively.
Want the motor to break through the 25km/h limit? Press the logo of "MPFDrive" and the button with the word "e" written to unlock it.The humanoid button is the on/stop walking cart mode, providing a slight electric power to make the cart easier. If the system detects that the car's speed is higher than 5km/h, the mode will automatically stop. The assist level provided by the motor is adjustable in ten gears, and the "+" and "-" correspond to the increase and decrease of assist respectively. The
display can display riding data, battery remaining power and assist gear in real time. Adjust the stand to any angle.
SHIMANOBR-M395 hydraulic disc brakes are equipped with 180mm large discs, which greatly increases confidence when going downhill. Just be careful to pinch your fingers lightly, and use the force you used to use on this set of brakes, which will cause the risk of your body being thrown out in minutes.
trial bike was replaced with KS lifting seat tube. This type of seat cushion has a lever under it and has a shorter travel style. It is also found on road vehicles, recreational vehicles, and even shared bicycles. When riding our own road bike, we usually don’t adjust the height of the seat cushion, but in the case of “everyone rides and try it” in the trial riding event, the lifting seat tube is really convenient.
It is worth mentioning that KS's specially customized 27.2mm lift seat tube was added to the Tour de France neutral service package in 2017, allowing professional riders to adjust the seat cushion height at the fastest speed in emergency situations when they encounter mechanical failures. This should prevent the embarrassing situation of Frum from choosing to run in Fengtushan because the neutral service car is not suitable. The difference between
curved handle version and flat handle version is mainly because the former uses the hand transformer of SHIMANO 105 and the BB5 disc brake.

Although riding an electric moped is indeed faster than riding a traditional road bike when climbing a mountain, it is not easy to ride it all the way down. If I had a choice, I would rather ride a light traditional road bike.
manufacturer officially claims that with a load of about 70kg, the battery will have a maximum assist endurance of about 50 kilometers after full charge, and the minimum assist will have a maximum range of about 140 kilometers, but this is laboratory data after all. In actual use, in weather with little wind resistance, in the first 35 kilometers of the itinerary (average slope 0.3%), in order to save valuable electricity, I only drove to 2 gears to assist. As a result, even the cruising speed of 20km/h made me feel more difficult. After all, the vehicle weighs 21.5kg! The power display is divided into five grids, and two grids of electricity are consumed on the flat section. The 27 kilometers after entering the mountain were up and down, which saved effort while helping to open up, but suddenly ran out of power during the final steep slope. Because the whole vehicle is too heavy, it is not realistic to push the car to the end, so I can only exchange it for a traditional road bike to ride.
summary, if you drive the mid- and low-end assist, the motor will only offset the drag caused by excessive weight of the whole vehicle; if you drive the high-end assist, there will always be a psychological burden, and you are always worried that the battery will be used up before the end of the trip. The best solution is to have enough batteries on the logistics car. For itinerary arrangements like climbing, change it to every 30 to 40 kilometers, and drive 10 gears to the maximum boost throughout the journey, so that you can truly enjoy the "laziness" pleasure brought by the electric moped car.
Logistics car should not only put spare cars and supplies, but also have to bring enough spare batteries
In addition, the sensitivity of the civilian-grade torque sensors used in recreational vehicles is limited, and there is a clear sense of delay from the start of stepping on the human foot to the motor output. Therefore, in order to better save leg strength and more effectively play the role of the motor, the knight needs to maintain a stable and uniform rhythm as much as possible during the pedaling process, and avoid sudden force exerting force and suddenly retracting force. Similarly, sudden vigorous rocking of the car will cause the motor to suddenly output a great boost, and the rider with poor car control skills may suddenly lose balance.
: After a while, Editor-in-Chiji Pan quietly stated after the trip that if this trip was not available for the IKIN electric motorcycle, he might not be able to climb the entire Wutai. Electric power bicycles have different fun from traditional bicycles, and each has its own market.If you riders are relatively loose at hand, the IKIN flat hand version is priced at NT$60,800 NT$2, and the curved hand version is priced at NT$69,800 NT$1 - you can buy it for your family to ride it for fun.
