I also rode up Helvellyn on a non e-bike which you have to do from the Keswick end on the old coach road and go over about 4 peaks prior to getting to the top of Helvellyn. Great feeling once you achieve it.
Having walked Skiddaw I take my hat off to you doing that decent like you did. It is so bloody steep it's not fun to walk down let alone cycle. Even on the path back to Keswick I admire your pace. Great video.
That bit from 14.11 to 15.08 is so so steep. I tried going up it and only reached the first gate then had to descend and the bike just skidded it was that steep. I have no idea how you done that, it doesn't even look steep on the video. I walked it a month later & it was even hard walking up that steep section. Well done.
I’ve done skiddaw twice to the top before e-bikes existed. Great ride up and down even better. 😂😂😂

Looks like a great ride that I could do, probably wait until spring
Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Think I will take my Levo up there this year. You have a new sub. Cheers. Stoozer. 🤠
It's possible. I did it this week on Bosch motor. Have to use Turbo on that steep section with seat dropped.
Definitely possible....done it several times now!! Good video tho 👍
Keep up the good work and you'll definitely be able to ride the whole way to the top.
That climb is definitely doable on a e bike in turbo with good psi in tyres. It would take some lungs though 😂
Great stuff!
Beautiful trail.
Went up and down on a “manual” bike in 2003…I was fitter back then tho. Went through a set of V brake pads coming down!!
It’s definitely possible as I’ve ridden it on a normal mtb with mates on ebikes.
No, the question is “can I ride an eBike up Skiddaw” 😀
I was told that you were not allowed to cycle on footpaths in the National Park only on bridle ways.
I can ride up Skiddaw without having to walk any of if. Standard Turbo Levo. Skiddaw one of the easier mountains in the Lake District to ride up
Yes a great way, well I think it is from Skiddaw House, ride from dash falls or lattrig ride round the North side to Skiddaw House, then straight
