Wait, you guys don't kick start your motorcycles? FAT ASSES!
The only motorcycle I still own requires kick starting, but then again, we have already established that I'm not an overweight pussy... so there is that...

On the one hand, I don't understand the load social media uproar by some MTB purists about E-bikes on trails. However, as the line continues to blur between motorcycles and mountain bikes as performance and endurance increases with ebikes, the tension and concerns are likely to escalate and increase before they die down. At what point do we say that this is just an electric motorcycle with pedals?

It looks like ebikes are going to have some competition... the door has been kicked open....

Just got back from a beautiful colorful ride in North Ogden, and I had my first negative encounter with an older fella. And of course the GoPro was rolling, so this video will be funny.
I found the dude on Strava, so tonight was just one bonus after another.
I'm currently thinking up the title to the video, something like "Old Man complains about Ebike"
Looking forward to it.Quote:

They actually passed me later on after they went out and back on another trail. I didn't mind that they were on e-bikes at all. They covered a lot of ground in a short amount of time. More power to 'em.
I hope they at least greeted you. Although, I greeted this guy last night, asked him how he's doing, and then also said it's a great day to ride with these beautiful colors. Not even a "Yes it's nice out" or anything, he went straight for the "you shouldn't be on that with a motor", then he went on mumbling something else as he rode away, I replied "yes it's AWESOME", and he shouted something like "Ebikes suck", to which I replied "don't be whining now".Quote:

Whatever our preferences are, kindness helps.
Nope. Looked like a couple of early twenty year olds and just hollered something unintelligible, which I took to mean "get out of our way".Quote:

Can’t wait until they come out with the ebike version of this beauty. Then I’ll really get the workout I’ve been looking for.

Does this look like an ebike to you? Looks beautiful. I know i'll never 'afford' one of these at $6,500.

They are claiming 21 miles of trail range.
Sorry I didn't get a pic or even remember the brands, my nephew was the one looking and I didn't pay enough attention.
Well, it's official, the major Mtn Bike brands can see that Ebikes are going to be popular so now the average price will be $12k. I'm glad I got mine early.

Jeep's is coming out with their version of an E-bike. Why not? Every one is doing it.

That Giant looks pretty sweet. I was in Moab last weekend and I saw that they were renting the new Santa Cruz ebikes.

So, apparently Karen just started into MTB, and was mistaken about a bike she saw in PC today.
‘Not sure if it’s a person on this group. But my wife and friend were biking today and got a note on their car. My wife rides a stache(29+) and her friend has a B+ plump jumper. Do people not know what e-bikes look like or are they embarrassed that a girl might be faster then them.’

LOL
Happy to see you got my note.

You should post that on Utah MTB Enthusiasts, that will keep them entertained for at least a week.
For every ebike complaint I hear, I'm going to Strava a ride as a normal bike.
