My Tangent E‑Bike Journey: 5,300 Kilometers and Counting
How It All Began: My Treeosix Test‑Drive My first taste of e‑biking was a Treeosix rental at Cypress Hills — one effortless ride up the Mickey Mouse Hills was all it took to know I needed one of my own. Eager to make it happen, I wandered into our local Canadian Tire in Swift Current and walked out with a Tangent ebike in August 2022.
