There are way too many really strong riders who frequent the trails I ride. Even with an e-bike I'm not getting any KOMs on the climbs.

Yes indeed. It is a big big change from the prior model. Tons of good videos online detailing the specifics

Even the pink bike guys love this.


Highlight of my trip was time riding with ed Masters.

Where's all the "FAT" guys that the uninformed like to pile on? Pivot doesn't allow them to their launches 🤣

No major complaints but definitely not for me as a cyclist. Seems like the trail etiquette of some of the users I encounter has not been entirely great and actually pretty crappy. There’s bad apples in every sport (KT closing) but I’ve encountered more amongst that user group.

Where it would shine are epic and long rides (more than 3 hours) which has not been addressed (by most companies) in terms of battery life.

I’ll sell them but I personally prefer the pain to being out of shape and suffering even though I get dropped every ride and now by my 8 year old.

Great for hauling tools to a worksite to fix and build trails.

Not officially addressed by the State of NJ in terms of usage in Parks or public land. They don’t have their own advocacy group and are being lumped into the MTB category by the land managers and owners. They and their riders look just like MTBers which could be perceived as deceiving and this is by design from the bike companies.

Food for thought.

I now own and ride an eBike and mix the activity in with my pedal rides. I’m a huge advocate for ebikes both recreationally and non. They help serve people beyond just us eMTBers.
