My dad was the same, "No Nissan will ever reside on this yard", all because he once had a bad experience with one car that was not even his. My 2013 Trek Rumblefish is still going strong so dissing the entire company because of 1 bike is a bit much Copperhead. Maybe take things on a case by case basis.

@TNT1. No not if you read the entire post and not just three portions of three different sentences. 1. I rode an Ebike and it was a riot i.e. lots of fun. 2. If you ride an ebike just because you want to show off then the concept of pedalling a bike along and pushing your limits might be lost on you. 3. If you bitch and moan about ebikes because one beat your KOM then you have missed the plot entirely. As for the snobbish attitude I honestly do not have one, I rode an ebike and liked it. Should people be allowed to ride ebikes, yes. Should people cry because ebikes are faster in some aspects than their non ebike brethren, no.

I test rode a Giant Ebike on holiday a few years back, could not stop smiling because it was a riot. That being said if you have a reason for an ebike like an operated or weak limb, maybe you are older and very unfit, any illness like diabetes or such then by all means go for it. If you use an ebike just because you can well that's your decision but you might be missing the point of cycling and pushing your own limits. If all you care about is someone crushing your KOM then you have forgotten what it's all about.

I really like their bikes. Hope they market themselves properly.
