I think it's been stated before that most e-bikes would be fine with a wide ratio 9 or 10 speed cassette. Maybe even less. The chain and gears can be a little beefier, but less gears keep the weight down. But I guess the mindset for most people is more gears=better.

I would rather see DJI or another company take the efficiency of the Avinox system and make a 100Nm bike with a lighter motor and smaller battery to put it closer to the weight of a SL bike. From what I've read the DJI system allows you to climb steep hills at the maximum speed of 20mph with...

I noticed the new DJI motor can only do the 150Nm for 30 seconds at a time. Is some of this just marketing hype? I'm sure Bosch can make their motor do 150Nm for brief intervals while massively draining the battery and reducing the motor's life expectancy

I'd rather them use that technology to make a 100Nm bike lighter and with longer range. It's still limited to 20mph so with that power you could be climbing hills at 20 mph with zero effort.

It's almost like Wireless Fibre Optics

I'll be able to make some random appearances

I think every bike park has THAT GUY.

A lot of small branches everywhere but no big trees. It looked like the rangers have been doing a lot of cutting. It was interesting that the Center Connector was actually muddier on top than the bottom. I guess the snow took longer to melt higher up.

I didn't do those. I cleared the lower trail to pipeline. Cleared 3 Amigos to the bridge on Chunky Monkey. Then did Montezuma down Center Connector.

I can go there today. I know the northern part of Chunky Monkey holds a lot of water... any other requests?

I use a hair dryer to assist with cold weather drip wax. I'll spend a couple minutes preheating the chain and then a few more after the wax is on.

He probably went home after and cleaned and polished his Glock... or flaregun... or whatever they carry

Can park rangers actually write people tickets? Allaire is a place you need to be careful out of the summer season. A very crowded state park and the Park Police get bored in the off months.

That law specifically says "public Highway" so maybe there a technicality to get out of it since we would be on trails or parking lots.

anyone know how much the e-bike insurance will cost? If you have a teenager in the house does the cost go up?? Should I get collision??? Theft????

Until recently I would have agreed with you. However, this fall the Park Police gave me a ticket at Round Valley for Windsurfing without a USCG approved lifevest. Keep in mind I was wearing a lifevest designed for windsurfing and also a helmet and full body wet-suit. On top of that the ticket...

I rode today. Upper mountain is in great shape. The lower mountain is sloppy, but if you climb the C trail you can stay pretty clean.

your list basically sums up my life... except I never really got that fat. But the sports I do now are what I did in my teens and there is that gap from age 20-30.

Killington likes to hype up their 100 Day Club. But in reality, if you made the 100 Day Club you're also in the Skied 70 Shitty Days Club. You get a T-Shirt though...

I would also add that hot weather riding is WAY more enjoyable on an emtb. The extra breeze you get climbing at 10mph instead of 4 makes a big difference. I also don't go to downhill parks quite as much now because I get some of that speed stoke from the ebike.
