Goodbadugly Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 I remember there was a thread on e-bikes a while ago but can't find it.Just a few frowns too share. During the Sani2c race, we spotted a few e-bikes. What is the deal with them? Do they compete?I really don't care if people ride these things. If you are old/disabled, by all means go ahead. If you buy your wife an e-bike so that she can keep up when you go out together, good. Brownie points.If you want to ride your electric bike on the Sani, do the Trail. Or the Adventure. I do frown on young okes celebrating their mediocrity with scooters on a race though.

'Dale Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Surprisingly not in their own category? ????????♂️ Hope this changes.
Milosh Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Until this oke blows down your neck too make way for him.So, do you enjoy your e-bike?I move over like I would for all other faster riders and enjoy my ride , it really no big deal ! If allowed , why is Race any different other events than A batch . More than half of B drop to C any way as they don’t want to mix it up with big boys Ebike on order and looking forward to breathing down your fragile ego [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Boerklong Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 E-bike competing in a race is cheating. This is not golf.Create a class.We've got 65 year olds klapping the lighties on their old school bikes

tux26 Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Part 4: Mountain Bike Regulations 14.01.010 The use of electronic (E-Bikes are not permitted in any form of mountain bike events). Which are run on the same course at the same time.(Modified 01/10/2017) Either the organisers don't know the rules, or someone snuck their e-bike in, and should be disqualified (and given a 6 year ban )

stringbean Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 That’s going to cockup any saseeding or any other seeding system been used.Pretty sure you’ll get guys bragging about their sub 3 argus on ebikes
stringbean Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 If you choose to ride a ebike,go ahead,but don’t try to pull the wool over my eyes.It’s NOT mountain biking.It’s a marketing tool for the fat,lazy,old or disabled.
WrightJnr Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 We had an ebike rider in our group on the Trail. He even had a what could only be described as one of those old suitcase holders the girls in primary school used to use on the back of their bikes with a spare battery attached. I was mid field and he wasn't much of an issue. Looked like he was k@kking off more than me to be honest. I'm not happy to see them in events. The only whining I want hear on the trails is my partner suffering. Not some bikes electric motor. With what looked like in this specific case, just a lazy dude on it.

peds Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Spoke to a guy at start of trail on ebike. He said that their time would not be counted so they would start in same batch each day. They were just there to have fun. Not sure If this was the case I dropped a couple of batches after day 1. Each to their own, they should make their own category like tandem I guess.
CAAD4 Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Are you sure they were competing? Maybe They were just enjoying the trails like thousand of other Sani riders do...
