Looking at my new X Cross I was feeling slightly daunted, there couldn’t have been more of a contrast with my pink sit up and ride, 6 gears, basket on the front bike! No looking back - with the first few pedal turns I was amazed at how comfortable it felt and so easy to ride. I had only intended to have a little round the block try out but the gears and the electric assist were so simple to use (dinner can wait!) I ended up cycling around 5 miles it was so enjoyable. On my next outing I set off without the assist mindful that I may have to cycle without it and found the bike was not at all heavy and I had to check that the assist was actually off! The first charge reached 54 miles before the battery was flashing at the lowest level. Having tested the assist on many North Norfolk hilly routes I had expected it to run low a lot earlier. The X Cross, would definitely recommend, a great looking e bike, excellent to ride it encourages you to cycle further than your original destination and you get a real feel good factor when riding this bike it makes you smile biking up hills!
