Our Terrain
Our Terrain
West Linn isn't flat California. It's steep grades, mixed surfaces, and real-world conditions that expose whether an e-bike's specs translate to actual performance.
Our Test Routes
Hidden Springs Climb
The ultimate hill test. This 20% grade separates bikes that claim hill performance from bikes that actually deliver it. Every motor, battery, and assist system gets pushed to its limits here.
Sunset Avenue Loop
A sustained climb with varied grades, perfect for testing real-world range and battery performance. This route shows how bikes handle extended moderate climbs—the kind you'll actually ride daily.
Willamette River Path
Flat and scenic, but essential for verifying manufacturer range claims under ideal conditions. If a bike can't hit its advertised range here, it definitely won't on hills.
Mixed Surface Circuit
Gravel, packed dirt, and pavement transitions. Shows how suspension, tire choice, and frame geometry handle real trail conditions—not just smooth bike paths.
