Grease_Monkey Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Both have motors, ergo, motorbikes. The source of the fuel, electric or petrol is irrelevant. As soon as there is a degree of energy capture, storage and then motorisation, it is no longer a bicycle.The thing that makes bicycling the way it is is the directness of human effort to propulsion, having a battery/ fuel tank to store energy and a motor to supplement direct human effort makes it a different game altogether.I think this thread should be locked for further comments. Can't imagine anyone can say anything that hasn't already been said/discussed. GLuvsMtb and L.T.G 2
