Quite the contrary - you can slide the platform along the log and then just a light pop to get the rear wheel up. Might want to put an HDPE sheet along the bottom!
E-bikes are a thing

I agree that "everyone" calls them ebikes. Therefore "everyone" must be right. Wrong. Causes the confusion I was talking about. It doesn't mean that people are gonna start calling pedal assist ebikes pedalecs, but that is the term for them.
Whenever I see this kind of certainty with absolutely no research, BS alarm bells go off, as they should. Spend 10 seconds and Google "What is the difference between a pedelec and ebike?". You believe what you want. Everyone must be right.

Heckler SL
A sneaky ebike that's lightweight, powerful and has surprising range. All the on-trail traits of a Santa Cruz combined with the FAZUA RIDE 60 drive unit. 150mm of legendary VPP™ suspension, mixed wheels, and progressive geometry makes the Heckler SL a natural handling trail bike. Just with the...

right up my alley then.
The reason 90% of people buy an eBike in the first place is because they have become slow & lame. So it all works out then.

Mr. Chainring
I'm hoping to be in the 10% of slow but still rad group.

Strava desktop version allows the activity to be flagged for questionable activities.
If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones.
Can't you flag them as an E-Bike?
I'd make the assumption that they just don't know better and don't have their bike setup as an e-Bike on Strava so it saves it automatically that way.
Should also be reported to the proper authorities.
I would of preferred this thread to have been called class 1 ebikes so not to confuse or lump all of the other nonsense post of non class 1 bikes. It's hard enough trying to advocate that class 1 are worlds apart from throttle ebikes.
Had this conversation just the other day and the point was well made. If you haven't gone out on at least 2hr solid trail ride on a class 1 then it's really hard to take anyone's opinion at face value.
Door is open, I have a large mid power Orbea Rise for anyone who wants to make an open minded opinion. Come join me on one of my lame and slow rides 🤪

Don't piss off the red guy
I don't think it would have mattered. Ebike haters, Class 1 or overwise, will still take the opportunity to make generalizations, accusations, and assumptions based on their unfounded biases.

Already done by one of my friends (I assume). I couldn't find the ride myself.
A Sur Ron X is a light motorcross bike. It's not an e-bike of any kind IMHO.
I am honestly eBike ignorant. At RV yesterday I saw a dude with an e-motorcycle. I mean in no way could you say it was anything but a motorcycle but it was electric as it sounded like a Tesla. I have no idea the difference in all these things. What is the Levo?
