'Dale Posted August 29, 2019 Share I'm fairly sure nobody thinks it was easier. What I am battling to understand is the why. Ok you can use an ebike. But only up to 25kph and only 250w assistance...when you pedal. It all seems a bit random and contrived. There's some contestation and politics between the cycling and motocross authorities about 'which sport does e-bikes belong to'I think this was an action-oriented strategy by the UCI to claim the category or code.

TyronLab Posted August 30, 2019 Share I've said it before and I'll say it again, every sport needs an open class, similar to what Pikes Peak has, where there are no rules or restrictions. Unlimited power / battery Ebikes,No Doping limitations.GO! Essentially Carmageddon but with skinny okes on a mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
