An e-bike is much more than a bicycle with an electric motor, but more of a philosophy that promotes a healthy lifestyle that suits all lovers of sport and sustainability. What is more, it can also be the companion of travels outside the ordinary, otherwise impossible to do with the only help of one’s own legs. A perfect example of this is the case of Soul Silk, an exciting journey with several stops that in 2019 led two Italian cyclists to travel more than 10,000 km from the region Trentino to China, for a very good cause.
Soul Silk – 10,000 km with electric bike
Soul Silk is an epic journey on two wheels born from an idea by Yanez Borella and Giacomo Meneghello. Two die-hard cyclists who, in order to support the Admo – Association of bone marrow donors – decided to retrace the iconic Silk Road with a GS-Bike electric bike. A journey between nature and sustainability, but also made up of great challenges. Part of the route included crossing mountains that marked the border between various countries, starting from the Marmolada to Mount Ararat and Pik Lenin. Over 100 consecutive days to witness a real love for the nature that surrounds us. Electricity was the unstoppable “fuel” of this passion.
Electric bicycle – a friend of sport and touring
Today the journey of Yanez and Giacomo has made history: a concrete proof of how one can find the courage to do something extraordinary and that it is possible to travel the world in a totally eco-sustainable way. A confirmation that E-bikes can become an alternative solution to fossil fuel powered vehicles and a new certainty for travellers all over the globe, wherever they are headed. Of course, you need to change your mentality, get involved and find the strength to cycle towards a better world. Don’t worry: assisted pedalling will help you.
