Ribble CGR AL-E first ride in the rain: NOT a review! Mahle X35 ebike

My first ride on my new bike, the Ribble CGR AL-E, in fact my first ever ebike ride!
I do the short loop I did a few videos ago, to really compare the difference and how much the motor helps me on the hills. The weather was horrible, but the ride was great!

So glad your Ribble has given you a new lease of life and given you a new level of enjoyment when you are out riding. Enjoy

Congrats on the bike, watching the last video of you making that climb shows what a difference e-bikes make, not least in making the rides enjoyable. Thanks for the videos, the raw ride videos are a refreshing change from the instagram influencer style rides. Looking forward to more of them (on both your channels)

Really enjoyed this one. I'm a stone's throw away from the Forest, so seeing your guy's routes gives me a bit more inspiration than just sticking to Gloucester or Newent/Ledbury. Enjoy the bike!

You popped up on a search for the CGR AL e, as I’m thinking of buying one. Great vid and you may have convinced me so thanks for that. After not riding for 20 years (just turned 60) I bought a Brompton two years ago and struggled, got a Swytch kit and felt like I was 40 again! Much as I love the Brompton, it’s not great for longer rides and I fancy a “proper” bike again and I think the CGR might just fit the bill.

Congratulations on your purchase, we bought 2 in December and they have been great - even took them on holiday to Spain 👍

I just got a Ribble Gravel AL-e and absolutely love it! I like that I can ride it without the assist and still get a good workout, but use the motor to help iron out some beastly hills around my local routes! Subbed :)

Hi I have an orbea e gravel just bought a range extender ,My longest ride was 92 miles that's before I bought the extender ,I was always watching the battery level I have only done three rides using the extender it's fantastic no range anxiety. I put my 92 mile ride on my UA-cam channel and one I have just done with the extender

[@tufty7026]

Just ordered one of these 🤞

Great video and lovely bike, I’ve got an Orbea Gain, I think it’s the same system, it’s a great bike, I’ve just purchased a range extender for it, gives me about an extra 50 miles

I have the CGR ALe too and the Garmin 530 often shows error messages, especially the low battery but just ignore them, rely on what the Mahle app tells you.
