Nope. Has a throttle. So while it's still technically an electric bicycle, you don't need to pedal to engage teh motor. So it's not an eMTB or eBike.

Tomato, tomato - either way should be on the mx track, not on the trails where proper cyclists ride

In your opinion. You're wrong, but that's your bag, not ours. eBikes are here to stay, whether you like it or not. Best get used to it. There's just been a massive change in how the US trail managers / advocates see them, and it's only going too get better. As long as they have separate classes if they're allowed in a race. 

 

Who WOULDN'T want to get more laps in at your local trail park / centre with the same effort / time? It's a no brainer.

Sorry boss - I just can’t resist trolling this thread. Okes get so worked up about it. Ride what you like, where you like. I don’t care. Just don’t ride in a race against cyclists

This is the next level - not an e-bike, neither a motorcrosser... but also both.

 

Twist the throttle and you can pedal-assist 80km/h up that hill hey.... :angry:

"The UBCO FRX1 is an electric two-wheeler with functional pedals and a pedal assist system. Technically speaking, that makes it an electric bicycle. But only technically."

 

Right.... Wonder what trail managers will say about a 50kg e-bike tearing up their trails.

Must be weird to ride

You twist the throttle and your legs speed up....
