Just how much faster is an e-road bike than a normal, human-powered road bike? And does a conventional bike ever have the edge over an assisted one? To find out, we've took our eSCULTURA e-road bike with its @MAHLE X35+ drive system and a SCULTURA ENDURANCE - both piloted by a fairly average cyclist - and sent them around a test loop for a little race. We then crunched the numbers, with speed and heart rate looked at to give us some idea of how they both stack up against each other. The results might just surprise you!
