E-Bike vs Analog MTB PRO: NIGHT RACE! 💥 (Daisy Hill Forest Challenge) - Did E-POWER Win?

This race was a battle of E-Bike Power vs. Pro Skill! I, an average rider on my e-MTB, took on a competitive XC pro on his analogue MTB for a fun 14km night race through the pitch-black trails of Daisy Hill Forest. Did my motor assist trump his superior fitness and technical skill? Or did the weight of the e-bike and the darkness prove too much? Watch to see who takes the win in this exciting head-to-head MTB challenge!
