Do eBikes belong on the mountain?

['Kaze Pete]

Ai.. all these self proclaimed purists on here. Get dafuk over yourselves already.

I drive an automatic (90% of my driving time used to be in traffic)

I braai on a gas braai (I can braai any day of the week and eat within 10 to 30 minutes from lighting up to wolfing down my food)

And if I had the cash, there would have been a long travel e bike in my bike room by now. I can think of nothing nicer than a quick shred down Steilte before/ after work and an e bike will make that so much more accessible given that I have a day job and a family.

G, please change your nick to GLuvsEbike.

You clearly dont Luv Mtb.

 

Hopefully you found an ebike under the christmas tree this morning. Hoping for a full review soon

Its a very good thing that I don’t ride, drive or braai (or is that cook?) for man-cards then. I think your post sums up the 2 types of people commenting on here. Those who do things for enjoyment and those who do things in order to gain the approval and admiration of others.

Is it possible to love both? Or does that **** with the man-card system?

I'll come up on his defense, GLuv may be a yuppie who values convenience, but he does love riding his bike, even without pedal assist. We've spent enough time in the mountains together.

Oh, and he does a mean Braai using real wood as well.

Yes you can love both, no need for the new age feminism.

You can only truly claim your man card if you're happy to have it in pink with lacy edges.

I lost you at "gas braai".... And you were doing so well before then

[Headshot]

I dont think "gas" and "braai" are allowed in the same sentence. EBike lovers are only allowed to fry on an electric oven. Provisional reinstated man card put on indefinite suspension...

[Christie]

Fire = braai

Gas = BBQ

[DieselnDust]

Gas = cooking

I took a mates e-bike for a spin yesterday - a Specialized jobby. It's not for me (yet) but I get it. I can't help feeling a bit like its cheating but at the same time I can see that it depends upon how you approach it. You can work just as hard on an e-bike (calories per hour) but at the same time you can also cover more ground and have more fun. The traditional bike sure isn't going to disappear but I see a lot of people taking to e-bikes in the future.
