Giant Talon E+ 3 hits the Rail Trail
We took the Giant Talon E+ for a spin over various trails around the Caboolture-Wamuran Rail Trail.
We took the Giant Talon E+ for a spin over various trails around the Caboolture-Wamuran Rail Trail. It handled everything we could throw at it and after 37km, we still had 2/3 battery left. Considering an average speed of 21km/h and using a number of different modes on the e-Bike, this seemed like a pretty good result.
The ride consisted of the paved shared path beween Caboolture and Wamuran, as well as some of the trails in the Glass House Mountains Conservation Park. From these trails it is possible to pick up remnants of the railway line trail between Wamuran and Bracalba, although we didn't get quite that far.
A tip for those new to riding in the Glass House Mountains Conservation Park, those trail running folks are crazy and unless you like pushing your bike up steep inclines, avoid the numbered running trails and stick to the trail marked "Shared Trail". Also, since horses frequently use the trail, it can get quite sandy, as you can see in the video.
