Steve Jones stopped to have coffee with his old friend Albi of Molinio MTB, but they were interrupted by the familiar rumble of a 50cc engine. Claudio aka ‘The Cowboy’ decided to pull over his Piaggio APE (more commonly referred to as a tuk-tuk) and take a closer look at Steve’s eMTB. After admiring each other’s vehicles Steve decides that it’s the perfect time to put the age-old question to the test. Is an electric mountain bike faster than an ape?

    1. This video!.. the comedy.. the production value.. actual perfection 😅👏 bravo guys! Keep up the amazing work! Side note, neither of you look (or act) your age, keep being a great inspiration to us all!

    2. I can only imagine the echo of that 2 stroke blasting up the stone roadways, the locals must have gone loco, might as well run up with a chainsaw at full bore. Brilliant video

    3. Bleddy Aces Steve! A true taste of continental character and epic cinematography. Whomever is your director of photography, keep them. Simply beautiful to watch each episode, no matter the subject. Ta.
