Thor Buttox Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Word on the trails is that some eMoped riders have been trying to ride their motos up down only DH tracks at Tokai. Needless to say this could cause serious ***. Why not try this kind of thing on a sand dune up the west coast rather?There is no way this could possibly be true. Consensus on this thread is that eBaaiks will only ever be bought by cost-conscious, bearded downhillers who will never endanger the trails and never by the kind of muppet who has more rands than sense, and thinks rules don't apply.

GLuvsMtb Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Weber?Anything less than a fire started by Flint and Carbon Steel is apparently frowned upon. Rumor has it that hubbers are dumping their blitz and gas fire starters to try and up their man-card points as well as their carbon footprints by making giant bon-fires with flint and steel and only starting the actual braaiing of meat well after midnight.

DuncanDoughnuts Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 This is literally the bazillionth time everyone has heard those exact arguments. Talk about feeding a fed horse. The other side is also true ... someone who is rather skilled at downhill but has to sit behind roadie MTB wannabe's on the downhill singletrack cause they all past his fat ass on the climb up .....

The wannabe mtb roadie got there on his own merit, you wanna be in front of him on the single track, get your fat ass not fat, and get there before him (coming from a fatty who always sits behind a mtb roadie on the single track coz they passed me on the uphills).

Rigardt@Scott Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 easier to get a Ebike to get to the singletrack first and have clear runSure, if you wanna be that guy in a race, just remember the dirt roadie with no single track skills can do the same and still be there before you Mushilele and DuncanDoughnuts 2
Mamil Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Identity crisis this weekend - toiled up Spykers hill in the wind and didn't enjoy myself. Bombed down Trail Z and loved it --- toiled up to faircape and didn't have fun - bombed down trail q and loved it - halfway back up to the top of Faircape and not having much fun and resigning myself to not having any legs and deciding that I would take the tar downhill back to the carpark rather than tackle the big climb back to the top of hoogies, this thought popped in my head "if I had an ebike I would smash trail Q again" I tried to get rid of the thought - denial, a moment of weakness .... what does this say about me and my dedication to HTFU principles? Do ebikes belong on the mountain? Mushilele 1

Guess until then I will just have to be happy being a shuttle-cock once a month. Edited January 27, 2019 by Toads.Mojo
Beefy Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 After being a chronic ebike hater, last weekend I got a demo for the weekend. This weekend I was riding my own one. They are complete game changers. We we ride more often, more trails per ride and if it is possible have even more fun on a bike.

DuncanDoughnuts Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Anyone hear the rant from a guy who rode Tokai and was overtaken by a Ebike ? Currently doing the rounds on what's app. Apparently he got so upset he trashed the guys bike in the parking lot.
