I never seen myself on an E-Bike. I tried and tested a few in the past but never had an excited ride. Most of them felt clunky, were loud and felt like they would fall apart when ridden hard. But times change and the progress in the E-MTB field made me more and more curious.
After a 3 months down time due to injury I was desperate to set out for a road-trip and be creative on the bike and behind the lens. So why not take the opportunity to leave old narrow mindsets at home and set out with a fresh view and no expectations other than ride and create.
I didn’t even know where to go but heading south was the only option to escape the winter vibes at home. Through Austria, Italy into France… wherever I saw some snow free hills I checked in Trailforks for trails and gave it a try. One week off grid, I ended up in Digne-Les-Bains with its black earth trails all around. Thanks to the Patrons power and range I had no issues to get around on multiple trails all packed with my heavy photo- and filming equipment. I found one of the most fascinating trails I’ve ever ridden and made it my playground to film and photograph myself all alone while trying not to fall off the narrow ridgeline…
And just like that the Scott Patron changed the way I see and experience mountainbikkng after 25 years in the sport… crazy how much more possibilities that bike offers me to explore more new and exciting terrain. Not only that - the bike is fast and capable more than I ever expected it to be. It blows my mind how good that bike is and truly silenced my doubtful thoughts I had.
This solo mission marks the first episode of many to come.
