eBike e Fulmini in Montagna: Rischi Reali e Cosa Fare Durante un Temporale | MTBT

E-Bikes, thunderstorms, and lightning in the mountains: what you need to know before heading out. In this video, we discuss a topic that few people address seriously: the risk of lightning in the mountains for those riding e-bikes, eMTBs, or trekking e-bikes. We dispel the most common myths—like the one that e-bike batteries attract lightning—and analyze the real risk, what the statistics say, and what's actually different compared to a traditional bike.
