Chiming in to say that I rode three Enduro-style parks on my Pivot Shuttle LT in Quebec - and never ran out of fun! The climbs were easy; the downhills were amazing. After getting used to the more power needed to brake, the stability and the get-it factor made every trail feel fricking fun. The e adds just enough oomph to clear every little obstacle well, with time to set up the exit. Rode 25+ miles every day, with 3-4k of climbing, and wasn't dead. The one thing I am not ready to do is jumps or drops, due to the weight. When I went back to my Ripmo at a DH park, it felt small. I really really love my Pivot.

I love my LT too.

There is a always a learning curve on the ebikes.

I found it curious that many of the people who took out Demo bike yesterday at our Pivot demo came back with almost no battery use.


Speaking of demos.. We are doing a repeat Pivot Demo the 3rd that isn't on the calendar.

Please send Me a DM if you want to sign up to Demo a E-Bike or Muscle bike.

Well... it looks like US distribution of the Amflow PL has started, per an email I just received. Two build kits available. The "base" version with an Eagle 70 Transmission kit for $7499 and the "Pro" version with XO Transmission and other upgrades for $10,199. I don't see any mention of de-rating the 1000W motor to 750W, but I would guess that is the case. amflowbikes.com for full specs.

I heard e-bike manufacturers will start including coupon codes for ozpempic.

95% of all diabetes cases are Type 2, which is caused by being a fat ass that rides an e-bike 😂

Guess what you don’t get is the type 2 diabetes is what’s causing people to be fat, not the other way around. Type 2 is a result of insulin resistance. When the human body becomes insulin resistant, the sugars in the blood go straight to fat rather than being absorbed into the muscles and other tissues. Obesity is a symptom of insulin resistance, not a cause. Every time you carbo load, you are forcing the beta cells in your pancreas to crank out insulin, pound your system with enough insulin and you are razing the chances your body will loose it’s ability to use insulin to remove the glucose in your blood stream.

Man I just wanted to troll some ebikers. Not start some diabetic discussion.

Anyone still ride fatbikes? Or can’t we say that anymore?

Can we say OzempicBikes for e-bikes?

2.5 years living in WNC and I've seen 3 fat bikes on the trails. 2 by old an old couple from Wisconsin lost on the XC trails, and my friend's 73 year old dad who was anything but slow. It's interesting to see it's a fad that didn't make it to non-snow areas whatsoever.

Not counting the cheap e-bike fat bikes on the rail trail. The 70+ crowd loves those.

AI says -

The "woke" term for "fat" is often "bikes with larger tires" or "tires on larger frames". This phrasing aims to be more respectful and less stigmatizing than terms like "fat" or even "fat" itself, which some find offensive. The focus is on the tires rather than the perceived condition of their bicycle.

Here's why this shift in language is happening:
  • Fatphobia:
    .
    The term "fat" can carry a negative connotation and be associated with harmful stereotypes.

  • Stigma:
    .
    Terms like "obese" are often seen as medicalizing a natural variation in bicycle size and shape, leading to discrimination.

  • Focus on the bicycle:
    .
    Emphasizing "bicycle with larger tires" shifts the focus to the individual rather than the size of their tires.

  • Health implications:
    .
    Some argue that the focus on weight can be harmful, as it doesn't always correlate with overall health and well-being.
While some might find the new phrasing awkward or wordy, it reflects a broader movement towards inclusivity and challenging societal norms around body size.
