WrightJnr Posted August 29, 2019 Share 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 !!

Eldron Posted August 29, 2019 Share I thinks it's daft but it is a refreshing change seeing thin guys on fat bikes instead of fat guys on thin bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted August 29, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrightJnr Posted August 29, 2019 Share 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. Milkman, Hairy, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob22 Posted September 2, 2019 Share 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.

Rob22 Posted September 3, 2019 Share 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. mazambaan, edkin, Pure Savage and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
