The Tour around the Zürichsee

Sunday i made a tour around the entire Zürichsee 106 Km including siteseeing!
The first 42 km from Siebnen/Galgenen to Zürich were no problem at all in just 2 hours! This distance 42 km is the best workoutdistance! 100 km on the stepper realy are a Challenge! Don't try this at home! Especially not at 30 Degrees Celsius!I
I would love to order a overdrive for the Stepper! The average speed could be 20% higher with more gears! A Nexus Hub? It should be possible in some way or the other to add more gears...any ideas?
I have been training on many steppers in the past years and my all time favorite stepper still is the Batavus Racing Stepper! Its about 25% faster than the Streetstepper! But no other stepper can beat the Streetstepper uphill its amazing how steep you can climb mountains...allmost incredible! And uphill the Streetstepper is faster than Mountainbikes...
Batavus does not sell Steppers anymore...Its a niche product and i fear that it will stay that way because nobody can reach the critical mass to realy create awareness!
Its great to see how people in their Aston Martin Cabrio envy you for your HOT RIDE!








Sonntag mit dem Streetstepper 106 km gefahren rund um den ganzen Zürichsee mit einige Abstecher zu Sehenswüridgkeiten rund um den See!
Die ersten 42 KM sind am leichtesten 2 Stunden nach Zürich ist kein Problem
die Mararthon Distanz ist auch die beste Trainingsdistanz! 100 km am Stepper sind echt eine Herausforderung überhaupt bei 30 Grad!
