SwissVan Posted March 17, 2017 Share Saw some interesting Swiss accident stats re bicycles and E bikes... who would think they would be so high... http://lenews.ch/2017/03/15/swiss-road-victims-down-overall-but-higher-for-cyclists/ And lastly, a safety advert on the back page of a Swiss bike shop magazine... asking if you have control of over your ebike, they are "wilder" than you think Edited March 17, 2017 by SwissVan Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted March 21, 2017 Share This has a 6000 watt motor.Can accelerate at the same pace as GTI Golf to 80km/h. Runs 90min at 45km/h or 40min at 60km/h or 30min at 80km/h. Should this be on the trails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDL Posted March 22, 2017 Share That is an electric motorbike - end of. The problems will maybe start when guys start injuring themselves on MTB trails at 60km/h Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongDonkey Posted March 22, 2017 Share As for the injuries thing cos its too powerful and numpties dont know what they are doing or get smart, i say "Stupid should hurt..... more!" In general i recon if you are respectful, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinnyone Posted March 22, 2017 Share Those will never happen, glasses take too long and needs a very specific focus point. Alu dont spark and carbon cracks.There was a fire started a number of years bag at the Rooioberg race due to a pedal strike on a rock.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karakoram Posted April 7, 2017 Share If a trail system is affiliated to IMBA, this should be noted: IMBA believes all recreational uses of public lands should be managed on an individual use and trail-by-trail basis through the diligent application of benefits based management, preferred use and environmental impact assessment. These land management principles work together to give people the outdoor experiences they seek in a way that mitigates the effects associated with their use so that future generations can enjoy similar experiences. FAQ Q: Is IMBA for or against motorized recreation? A: Neither, IMBA is an advocate for the interests of mountain biking and the development and maintenance of single-track trails. IMBA objects to land management practices and principles that address mountain biking and motorized uses as a single class. Mountain biking involves a spectrum of riding styles with a narrow band of environmental impacts that are similar to hiking and equestrian uses. When classification is necessary, mountain biking should be part of the non-motorized class. Q: How does IMBA view electric assist and electric bicycles (e-Bikes)? A: Electric bicycles are a welcome addition to the cycling community. They allow for carrying heavy loads and offer assistance to those who could not otherwise experience much of the fun of cycling and add a de minimus amount of additional impact. However, the use of a motor whether internal combustion or electric would require changing the classification to a motorized use. IMBA would support the use of e-Bikes anywhere that we could also support other motorized uses. source: http://dirtragmag.com/ebikes/ Pure Savage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
