    Prediction: we are [emoji638] - [emoji639] years out from ebikes that are indistinguishable from bikes visually. We’re already getting close with the latest crop of DJI and Fazua motors.

    E bikes will still be distinguishable enough for people to be able to virtue signal so I donot think it matters

    check out any blog some guy will tell you he doesnt ride e-bikes so why come on an e-bike blog to tell people you dont ebike and so have zero to offer


    do people come on roady/ gravel/ hardtail blogs to tell everyone they donot do those things or do they make things up such as you have ?


    I dont think they do but its OK cuz they are only ebikes

    and everytime someone powers on an Ebike a kitten dies

    I ride a eeb every day and I ride with eeb mtb friends every week.

    I have plenty of knowledge xxx man and eeb riders in general are complete tools just like rhoadies....but not all.

    So pull your panties out of your crack and realize it's your job to school some of your brethren.

    Tons of post op couch time these days, I’m almost finished watching YouTube. Just a couple more eeeb vids and I’ll have it licked.

    Joking but it’s not far off the truth, I’m starting to talk myself into the Bosch SX motor. Partly due to what’s available to order in the bike I like and partly I like to pedal and just want some assistance to take some pressure off this new knee I had installed last week. I’m not really a shuttle guy nor a winch and plummet type, maybe if I lived near real mountains I’d feel otherwise but my New England trail riding world seems like it doesn’t need full fat. If I rode someplace like Sun Valley on the regular I wouldn’t hesitate to go full fat.

    If I started riding in North Conway more I could see full fat being the call too.

    No disagreement here.

    I will be on a eeb MTB eventually and will still hate the asshat eeb riders!

    What bike/Sizing question:
    Mrs Skier warming up to the idea of an Ebike -if we can both ride it: I'm 6'1-6'2, she's 5'6-5'7. I've heard Ibus does 'Extra medium' sizing. Any other brands do a sizing scheme that splits the difference? Full 29 preferred.

    So, I understand the ‘I’ll ride my regular bike, she will ride the E’ thinking, but ai guarantee that you guys will both want to ride the e-bikes together more very quickly.

    I'm not aware of any ebikes that have an extra-medium - I just spot checked Ibis, Pivot, and Canyon which were my guesses. To make matters worse, I'd say you're closer to XL territory, and she's on the low end of medium. So even a very large medium (like Pivot Shuttle SL-AM) with 465 reach is going to feel very big for her and very small for you. The only thing that I'd say gets close would be a Crestline RH-3 (large) which has a 475 reach and can run a +/-5mm reach headset. Then run +5mm for you for 480 and -5mm for her for 470. You're also going to run into issues with bar width and dropper length for that big a discrepancy in height.

    Probably medium or even small for your wife and who knows wtf for you but there is gona be such a disparity in size and speed that it doesnt seem doable to me SO you need 2 bikes but even if you could both ride it why ?

    Saw these clowns today. "Rambo" brand, LOL. Chatted them up a bit, they seemed to genuinely have no idea this is a non-motorized area.

    Googled the bikes: 1000w motors, max speed 32 mph, throttle, 64 lbs. Well beyond Class 3 territory, just electric motorcycles with pedals. Indefensible.

    I did an endurance XC race this weekend in an area that is very clearly signed no e-bikes. I had a guy cut onto the trail in front of me on a e-bike and frantically try to stay ahead for a few miles as it seemed like he did not expect much traffic and did not want to be spotted. Eventually he veered off the trail and into the woods. Was not a terrible encounter but impeding a race on a bike that is not allowed feels off to me. The kind part of my brain says there are lots of great people on ebikes and there are bad actors in any activity but there is a small voice that says e-bikes attract a crowd that has a higher chance of giving zero shits about the world around them.

    I live near a national monument. I would love to ride my bike on the trails in the monument but it is not allowed so I stay to trails I can ride. It is that simple.
    In Colorado I almost never see bikes poaching trails where they are not allowed but I seee it daily with e bikes. It feels like two very different cultures.

    at least they ^^ had pedals ^^^ that looks like a road with some fat bikes to me ?

    yesturday we had our 1st annual heavy-metal themed enduro they even had an E-bike class which was an advantge for the motor heads cuz before you can get down you gotta get up so they saved some energy before dropping cuz these were some spicy trail fersure eh

    one broken ankle on " rememberance day "Ma lot of the trails at the area are named for AC/ DC songs SO insted of being a casulty I volied to be starter dude on 2 of the 5 stages, I got the T-shirt, people are thanking me and i got at least one beer out of it

    I guess it's model specific, Ripmo has "XM", but then Oso just does m/L with a very sizeable gap between them.

    She can ride my 58mm Creo, looks a little weird but it works. Reach and standover seem to be the biggest discrepancies. Maybe I'll just find her the biggest medium I can find and accept temporary clown life if I want a quick lap or something

    Donot forget extra weight so where a small perosn might just dab riding an acoustic bike they might be over the downhill side from dabbing in th wrong place when the bike is an extra 15-120 lbs, not used to power on a bike that is TOO big
