DieselnDust Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 I just bought an eBike and will be doing an Everest this weekend.Strava or it didn't happen
Headshot Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 cos the one has a throttle, whereas legit e-bikes are pedal assist.  There are "e-bikes" that are just electric motos with MTB componentry, but because the drive isn't dependent on the pedals being turned, they're not ebikes. All they have done is covert the twist throtttle into one operated by your legs. "Twist" or spin your legs and the motor revs up. Whats the difference?  I met an eBike operator on Sunday. He was broken down at the side of the trail and when I asked him what was wrong, he said his bike was playing up, i.e the motor. The digital screen said "error..." He also told me he had removed the limiter very easily and it could now ride it as fast as his legs could pedal. If it worked of course. I noticed later on Strava that he had got going but his average speed was very low for an eBike making me think he had toughed it out and pedalled the 23kg thing around all by himself... DieselnDust, Hairy and Ascension 3

Headshot Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Which model?Stability on Downs (s. O. D)OrThe Ass'ess (pronounced Assess)Â Great bikes. Brilliant geometryThats pretty good. Lets think up a few more comical names for eBikes.... edkin 1
Patchelicious Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Strava or it didn't happenAll my eBike rides and KOMs are obviously on Strava, saved as normal rides of course. DieselnDust, Duane_Bosch, Headshot and 2 others 5
Hairy Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 I am sure this bike will be featured in Bicycling SA before the on line release!?!? They aren’t on the internet yet.You can have a look, but please bring a couple of cheeseburgers.
ChrisF Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 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 ......
