But according to the judgemental folk on this forum, Ebikers are fat, lazy and have no skills and no right to enjoy the outdoors on one, so to even suggest that one could actually hit a jump is blasphemy. I better go inform folks like Fabian Barel and Nicola Vouilloz , In fact every Professional EWS-E rider that they fat and lazy, and what's the point of of riding a uphill power stage when you have a motor OK- Rant over. I will continue to ride my ebike and my Alanloge and you can think what you want. It's my life, you don't know my story and I don't care to have to explain myself. Back to the Main topic ... Unrestricted on public trails, I don't agree with. Riding ebikes I do ... It's gotten me back into the sport. and I'll continue to do so for as long as it brings me enjoyment.

I agree... same goes for motocross and Moto enduro ... what's the point when you have a motor

Id be keen to do W2W on a Ebike... Only ever done it on a Amish bike. What pace would you be looking at ? you want to ride it or race it ? (yes I have a ebike)

Just that comment makes me realise that you have no idea....

More like the plough down anything market...

Were you riding with the Edison of bikers ? ( Edison, that's my collective noun for group of E-bikers. )

Saw one on the trail yesterday ... very nice looking bike. Solid component spec.

Ebiking is not Mountainbiking, it's a whole new sport. its the same as when Mountain-bikes came on the scene and the road bikers scoffed and turned there noses up (cycling in general is full of elitists ) Ebiking is a whole new sport and it is in the process of finding its feet. One day it will be classified as different class of riding and racing on its own. There are many teething problems and they will eventually be sorted and once the numbers grow enough there will be events that are ebike specific and there wont be the cross contamination that some of the elitist on here are moaning about. But totally off topic now... De-restricting ebikes is uncool. Just like some drugs

Wonder if they will have a frame and motor only option. would love to build this with Linkglide.

45km/h on road bike ? oh my I feel cheated now. I want a E-road bike now

Separate Groups and start times far enough away from the first Racing batch. There is no different to those de restricting bikes and those on analog bikes taking PEDS ... even better if separate routes with more climbing and tech like power stages in E-EWS (A un-realistic dream) One battery Rule (Could be some complaining there, and also some event could loose a lot of support) Unless you on a road Ebike, de restricting is not all cracked out what its meant to be.... going over that 32kph limit eats through battery at such a rate, I personally don't think its worth it. Oh and my Max speed is faster on my Armnish bike than my E-bike.

25kph ? that's slow ... in SA we go 32kph..

That is so awesome. I do like the Lyne Brand.

That's just another Cycle Lab cycle on a Saturday in the cradle ..... Seems they have spread to the Cape since taking over CWC

Anyone know how to get in touch the folk at Armoured-Ride . I ordered a complete custom wrap and a few other things, but seem to have an issue, and they don't seem to eager communicate once they have your money. Rather disappointing. TBC Finally managed to get in touch. All sorted

That is his secret.... He is always Angry

Not that I know of. He is still prowling the roads looking for his next victim.

Sounds like he could be related to the Cradle bruiser .... or the cyclelab club.

Yay .. open again. How wonderful

My Fusion x on my spech bent (yes Im a heavy chap) and put my spare Lyne in. and when the fusion was fixed I kept the Lyne ... have a Fox factory I can also use but I don't like the Kashima, it clashes. so ill stick to my Lyne, and has less side to side movement than my fox or my On-up. I would go Lyne. good support and great product.

Have done a few of these events.... Solo and in a team.... Loved doing It as a team, was so much fun and would not mind entering another one at some stage. The 24hr of Wiesenhoff use to be epic fun.

I blame E-bikers for the high costs....

And comes in all the colours I need. Fantastic 👍

Pity, been on my list for a long time

I take mine to my local specialized store and they take care of rest .. I do it all the time.
