1.Origin
Mountain bikes, invented in 1977 in San Francisco on the west coast of the United States, are bicycles specially designed for walking on off-road, like hills, trails, wilderness and sandy gravel roads. At that time, a group of young people who were keen on riding beach bikes on the hillside had a sudden idea: It must be very interesting to ride a bicycle down the mountain. So they began to design the off-road bikes. It was two years later that what we called mountain bike emerged. Since then, "downhill competition" has emerged as a new item in sport. Athletes ride mountain bikes downhill at high speed along the downhill, and the fastest person wins.
With the development of science and technology and the increase in people's requirements for the performance of mountain bikes, electric mountain bikes have emerged as the times require. It not only includes various off-road functions of a mountain bike, but also has a powerful motor to provide power for riding.
