I wonder what would happen if you tried to bring that ^^^ on the Belgian Waffle Ride? I surmise it would not be pretty, and no bikini-clad girls would get you wet. Actually, if they did, you might get electrocuted!

^^^ Kind of a sexy looking bike. Maybe you’d get the bikini-clad girls wet.

Speaking of sexy, even without bikinis..
Omg!! That's US xc champ Kate Courtney on a charged bike.

Rumor has it that she's focusing on World Cup DH in 2019 to avoid being forced by the Spesh to ride and race on eBikes.

Imagine running laps on a eDHbike at Fontana, could make small work of that damn pavement climb and make a day of it out there.

Moto FMX legend Ronnie Renner used to do that during practice day.
We acted like your typical DT member and scoffed at him.
He had more practice laps than us.
We waited for our turned at the shuttle truck line AND EARNED it hiking our heavy pig iron DH bikes up the last push after getting dropped off.
It made it all sweeter to beat his time in our class. LOL..
Ronnie's that first dude from the left with infectious smile. I couldn't see him from the top of the box. Hahaha ;)

Btw, I hated this stealth ebike. This is not representative of what I want out of a PEDAL-assist bike.

Great....moped racing. I wonder if Puch and Sachs are going to get back in the game. Chelsea Manning can be the spokesmodel for the "sport".

But, but, what about trail destruction and access issues on trails we ride now that for the most part 80% not legal to begin with?

Harley, having conventional fun for now.

DENG!! My yellow jersey actually is bright AF. Sorry for the retina burn.

Almost looks like an eBike from this angle.
Image

Doesn't look fun. I might have to ride there again tomorrow to make up for the miles I could have easily covered on an eBike in less time for the same amount of workout level.

Mike, all business.
Thanks for the eBike word of the day, Mike.
Resentment.
That's a valid argument againsts eBikes.

I hate them moyotcyclists too booking at break neck speeds lane splitting while I'm sitting stuck in traffic. Why can't they fall in the back of the line and suffer like the rest of us. I resent lane splitting at more than 10MPH.
Image

So great to get English Mark out shredding again (on conventional bike so it's OK).
Always rowdy even though Harley was the only one to draw blood. That used to be English Mark's signature.

Not really in comparison to those gloves.

I love it that we all are entitled to our opinions on Ebikes, whether we want them or not. "Merica!" :)
