... or just long socks ....

The kind of cyclist who truly appreciates the fine art of the long sock wouldn't voluntarily ride an eBike.

I really think this is what is going to make Ebikes more widespread.

It's a front wheel hub motor, so you could very basically have a simple swap out system to have a normal and Ebike config.

 

there are things to iron out, but i see this one having potential. plus there are definite benefits to 2WDhttp://www.srsuntour-cycling.com/fileadmin/_processed_/csm_fm-gruppe_cc9c84e52f.jpg

The mountain is the only place an ebike belongs.

Straight to the berg with a hiking bag and the location of a dry cave, you wouldn't see me for days.

These are already pretty standard on the commuter scene in Copenhagen. Little old ladies goes whizzing by with a giggle and a hum - they love it.

Doing a 60km ride on Sunday and I see that Ebikes will be allowed on the 15km and 28km routes.

 

There’s no prize money or medals involved with them.

Rode one round the parking lot at my LBS this weekend, quite enjoyed it. The shop owner claims he has had a number of enquiries after them.
