Exploring New Zealand on electric mountain bikes

Sometimes, the only motivation to go for a ride is to enjoy the simplicity of being outside on two wheels, taking in the scenery with the sun’s warmth on your skin. It’s hard to beat the feeling of carving on your mountain bike when nothing seems to matter but the trail ahead. But it often takes a fresh approach to reach that blissful state where your worries fade away.

Trek Factory Racing Enduro’s Casey Brown and Trek Factory Racing XC’s Anton Cooper compete against the world’s best, but even professional riders like to throw the seriousness and composure of competition out the window and simply ride for the fun of it. Their one goal?

Have a blast.

For Brown and Cooper, the free reign they find on the trails is a big part of why they began riding in the first place. Join these two adventurers-at-heart as they hit the New Zealand backcountry for a multi-day journey aboard Powerfly, Trek’s electric pedal-assist mountain bike.
