You mean to tell me no one out there in the Dome has 'chipped' their help-my-trap yet 🤔 

As an aside ... it occurs to me once a rider has gone 'E' there's no going back, someone I know did the 'I'm getting one while I get over this temporary illness' then was going back to his proper bike. Has since recovered, chipped the old one, bought a newer more powerful, longer life one and I'm sure a chip will be 'inserted' as soon as his finances have recovered. Maar nou ja hier sit ons ....

My point is just that you don't need an ebike in the group for someone to be much faster on climbs (and be considerate to the slower climbers).

Maybe captain ebike is an ex-analogue rider who is now getting his revenge for all the times he was dropped by the skinnies in the group.

 

 

OR he is the one with the small "thingy", ie. electric motor naturally AND a "wit bakkie" .............

A “Danger! Ranger”, or Raptor variant is the rapture for most with the other issues mentioned!

An eBike is like a wheelchair.  Once in you're never getting out 😉

I'm a bit surprised that E-pace drivers have not raised their "I'm offended" sign because of being called "creeps" in the topic title.

They are creep(er)s. They creep up on you and then creep away again.
