Who’d have thought that crashing could be so much fun! We are sure that your ride in our Race VEER will be Parental Advisory due to some explicit lyrics when you crash on a corner and lose places in the race, but we are equally sure that upon reflection you’ll apprecaite that it was totally absorbing and a lot of fun.
CADEsport are taking e-Racing to new levels, you can steer to choose your lane on the road, or take the inside of a bend. We have factored in a 2kph Westerly wind that will increase resistance when you turn into it, the race is equalized so that everyone has the same power output (choose Pro-Power when joining from the Lobby at the start) such that strong riders are challenged more (which is good for them) and the rest of us actually have a chance of winning …. anyone can win! It’s all about how hard you work.
But this will, almost certainly, be decided on how you master the braking on corners. Watch the speedometer at the bottom of your screen, if you go into the red zone on a bend, you’ll crash. We have found it best to brake just before the bend and accelorate out, but we all need to practice and master this new skill. The braking can be controlled from the Companion App on your phone or the Spacebr on your PC keyboard.

With steering, wind effect, crashing, braking and equalized power, this is soooh much more than a trip on the Hamster Wheel you may be currently enjoying. Time to step out of your comfort zone here though, and here’s why:
- If you go too fast into corners you will crash and lose a few seconds time delay. You need to master the braking.
- You can steer around other riders and choose your line with steering. You can force other riders into obstacles by hogging the line.
- A wind factor can be built in so that when riders turn into the wind the resistance becomes harder.
- We have set up our races for Equalized E-Racing so that every rider has pro-power and anyone can win. Natural power isn’t going to be enough, you need to work.
Let’s be honest, some of this is going to take you out of your cosy comfort-zone, but we’ve actually find it more exciting (well it can be frustrating too but that’s part of the fun) …. there are new challenges and skills to learn.
Are you still on a hamster wheel, or part of the CADEsport revolution?
