ChrisF Posted May 15, 2019 Share I have made a few replies on this thread about how ebikes allow "father-and-son" to enjoy the outdoors together .. yada yada ... and in my minds eye it was obvious I was talking about the 30-something son with his dad nearing retirement age .... guess I should have been more specific ... Saw a father-and-son ebikes at Meerendal. BOTH on ebikes ... okay that does not sound too wierd ... The one being 30-something ... still not wierd .... The other being 9 or 10 years old !! JIP, boetie on his junior-size ebike joining dad on the trails .... I am SURE it can be "justified" .... but it just looked SO wrong seeing an able bodied kid on an ebike ......

DieselnDust Posted May 15, 2019 Share All the ebike riders i saw at houwhoek looked unfit. Justsaying Does anyone at HouwHoek Tour look fit...It looks like a bit of a jol for funriders post Argust sub 3 promises so an Ebike fits right in. In fact every contestant should be issued with one for the duration of the event edkin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Buttox Posted May 15, 2019 Share I just use an ebike for the extra weight. Carrying a few extra pounds is nothing to be ashamed of. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be me............. and thanks for the compliment of being called thirty something This would be my son and yes he has just turned 9..... you all welcome to come try keep up with him......on the DOWNS "I am SURE it can be "justified" .... but it just looked SO wrong seeing an able bodied kid on an ebike ......"Pretty shitty remark mate???? Riding e-bikes together has vastly improved his skill set and his fitness. You try throwing around a bikethat weighs the same as you. My son weighs 26Kg his Giant Stance (Size small not junior-size?) weighs around 24Kg. It has also allowed us to ride all the trails in the Durbanville Hills network. Unbelievable father and son time together where we both can compete like for like. I dont see many other eight year olds doing sub 3:50'sdown the Cobra or wait............. see many eight years olds full stop on those trails. And for the record my son has a dirt jump bike, bmx and a Giant Trance but the best times we have TOGETHER is on our ebikes. ChrisF - Maybe come join us for an e-Bike ride.... You welcome to borrow my wife's and see if you can keep up? Both on the ups and the downs I warn you once you go E.... there is no turning back!
