No, you don't. You just need a bike with these things called "gears" and "derailleurs", things the Dutch don't seem to believe in. You can also get an e-bike which makes going uphill no more difficult than riding on flat terrain.
- rambambram 4y agoCome on, an e-bike is much more like a scooter or a moped. I know it's not black and white, but cycling is getting forward purely on your own strength. Everything else makes you dependent on other things than your own body.
- akvadrako 4y agoE-bikes are importantly much lighter than scooters / mopeds. They also use some of your own power - often about 50%.
- midoridensha 4y agoThe e-bikes I've seen seem to basically be made to supply assistance so that the rider feels the same effort, whether they're pedaling on flat land or uphill.
