E Bike cheats

*Tapping on calendar screen to make sure what day it is...again.....

Mondays are the new Fridays. Get with the eProgram 

 

Maybe we should demand separate catergories for Monday Mayhem, how are the Friday fight club guys supposed to feel about this?

And on the trails its seems. On the positive side, the driving ranges are emptier these days.

Some are really amped with E bikes

EBike, whatever, just don't get in front of me on the single track if you don't know what you doing. I might end up getting banned from the races after that.

Rule #1 - don’t be a knob

[BigDL]

100% I couldnt care about ebikes in a race but dont dare pass me on a climb then hold me up on ST , things will get ugly.

 

As for E bike knocking me down from 987th to 993rd in the results....... who cares.

Ugly how?

Bicycles are human powered. The whole idea of a race is to compare one human to another in terms of performance. The moment we start allowing eBikes at races we are now removing the human element and we are now comparing performance of batteries and motors to each other.

 

I say, if its a bicycle event, eBikes should not be allowed. If eBikes want to compete at events they can do one of two things:

1. Register with SA Motorsport and start a new electric category. We already have Formula E for single seater cars, lets have a eMotorX section for these guys on their eBikes. The technology is there, they can develop eBikes that don't have cranks. They can even have cool things like energy recovery systems when they brake on downhills and push to pass to give extra power when passing on single track. Heck, they can even have a category for them on the Dakar
2. Start their own events where they don't get in the way of the humans pedaling their arses off to get up that hill.

maybe we can assist you in peddling some of them...

no need for different events or venues, because riding an ebike really is like riding a mtb.

 

That's like saying riding a MX Bike is the same as riding an ebike ... its not even close.

 

If I have to push 400watts vs your ebike assisted 400watts (250 watts ebike and 150 watts human powered) how can that even compare? I will be buggered and you will still be "enjoying" your "fun ride" long after ive dropped a lung trying to hold on!!

almost can't believe this totally stand alone e bike thread is on 146 post already, it will rival that "apartheid bicycle thread" by the end of today.

So can we then deduce that e-bikes charge people up even more than THAT topic?
