keithbe Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 I had a very short ride on a Spez Levo...I can now see why the attraction. I may be a convert...and had inappropriate dreams about the bike! MDJ, BigDL and Pure Savage 3
AllAboutRides Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 If it has a motor...is it a bicycle or a motorcycle? If a bike has a throttle......then it's a motorbike! Pure Savage, Pieterlab1 and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3
Aurora Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 No, keep you motorbikes off the cycling trails. They are not bicycles. BigDL 1
AllAboutRides Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 No, keep you motorbikes off the cycling trails. They are not bicycles. Haven't see any motorcross bikes on trails yet, so e-bikes welcome! MDJ and WaynejG 2
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 If a bike has a throttle......then it's a motorbike!Agreed. Some of the high end "e-bikes" have a thumb-paddle throttle. IOW it's a moto. I've seen actual motorbikes at G Spot and Eden before. Mark despises them. gummibear 1
Eldron Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 It still makes me laugh that a bike with an engine is called a motorbike and a bike with a motor is called an ebike. BigDL, Pieterlab1, Zatopek and 3 others 6
Johan A Marais Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Mechanical Dopers - stay of the trails and away from the cycling events. Edit: And the mountains! Edited December 4, 2018 by The Commuter
blackwing Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 **** me there is a massive amount of bitter and narrow minded dick heads on this forum.......and I don't even own a e-bike, but I have never had any issues sharing trails with them or going group rides which include them. I reckon the people complaining were the same people complaining about disc brakes, or when 29er's emerged on the market.. Just go ride your bike man...there is a life and identity for you lot out there, outside strava you know... Drover, Forthelove and WaynejG 3
Rigardt@Scott Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 And the cycle starts again... Forthelove, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Andrew Steer and 2 others 5
Pure Savage Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 Mechanical Dopers - stay of the trails and away from the cycling events. Edit: And the mountains!But blood dopers are fine, they can even promo bikes etc? Yeah we should just accept all dopers as we have done for years MDJ 1

Johan A Marais Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 But blood dopers are fine, they can even promo bikes etc? Yeah we should just accept all dopers as we have done for years Mmmmmmm, maybe instead of banning these blood dopers or other means of doping that is not mechanical (read eBikes) they should be marked, with the word Doper edged on their forehead. Then we can also ban all marked dopers from the trails, events and do not forget the mountain... Eldron 1

Go read the thread properly, reminds me of the "per my last email" definition.
blackwing Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 And the cycle starts again...I just visit this every two weeks or so....aiming to make it the longest thread on bike hub Mamil, BigDL, MDJ and 1 other 4
Mamil Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 look for the last time ---- The only way you should be on an ebike on the mountain is if you are old or infirm. The only other excuse is that you are a commuter who doesn't want to arrive at work sweaty. .... ok - probably not the last time.... I just visit this every two weeks or so....aiming to make it the longest thread on bike hub BigDL, Patchelicious and MDJ 3
gummibear Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 Can see these being quite popular at the fun rides. Orbea Gain Carbon in 11kg kit and no signs of it having a motor ???????? My dream of a Sub3 Argus is coming closer [emoji6][emoji6] MDJ 1
