In Vierumäki, we have 12 electric-assisted fatbikes, i.e. thick-wheeled bicycles that make traversing even challenging terrains very comfortable. The Rock Machine Avalanche E50 bikes are fitted with the Shimano Steps e-bike system. In Rock Machine bikes, the centre of gravity is as low as possible, making the bike very easy to handle in off-road environments. Previous experience with e-bikes or fatbikes is not required.

It is good for the customer to remember that the bikes are electrically assisted rather than fully electric. Consequently, manual pedaling and, in particular, correct use of gears is important.

Available sizes: S/15” (145–165 cm), M/17” (160–180 cm), L/19” (170–195 cm).

Cycling helmets can be borrowed free of charge.
