WrightJnr Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Thought these bikes only helped till 25kph?Extract “Bike power was maxed out at 250 watts and motors stopped assisting racers at 25mph. Competitors hit the 6km course for four laps and about a hour of racing. Battery changes or charges were not permitted.” So everything above that was pure Alan !! Edited August 29, 2019 by WrightJnr
mazambaan Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Isn't he meant to wheelie across the finish line? Disappointing
Fat Boab Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Soon we will have handicapped racing I. E. Adding weight to bikes during races...

Eldron Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 I thinks it's daft but it is a refreshing change seeing thin guys on fat bikes instead of fat guys on thin bikes.
SwissVan Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 See there is a Specialized E Bike job opening just down the road from me..... Hairy 1
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 BOOM. Done. Some more rainbow [emoji304] stripes for the young man. Not taking anything away from him, this just feels like all those "also ran" F1 drivers killing in in Formula E......... Eldron 1
WrightJnr Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Not taking anything away from him, this just feels like all those "also ran" F1 drivers killing in in Formula E.........I hear you. But also could have been a smart move. He probably knows he can’t be WC in the Elite class this year and this was a good way to keep his profile and motivation up in the public eye as he prepares for the next few years. Also representing Spez well after what has been a shocking year for them. Steven Knoetze (sk27), BigDL, Milkman and 1 other 4

Rob22 Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 So I joined the e-bike trend yesterday by buying a new bike, I now understand what the fuss is about. It’s a similar feeling when I changed from road to MTB. It is an amazing ride and found I still used the same energy, just went way further. I know this is not for everyone but if you haven’t tried it, go for it, it will not disappoint. Pappa Bear, edkin and Tatt 3

Rob22 Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 I'm getting there Rob; can you disclose; what did you buy, why and how much?Hi - A Scott eride 920 (at the CycleLab sale). I paid more than my wife thought you would pay for any bike but she does not ride!!! Why - been riding for more than 20 years and done many many races (mainly road but also MTB) but now I want to enjoy cycling, find new trail and do it for the love of cycling. I still have my road and MTB bike but this bike is to enjoy cycling without taking it too seriously. Vaalhaai, edkin, BigDL and 2 others 5
