    Who’s kept their acoustic bike and why?

    I’m going to other way :) Ebike has helped me get into bikes and improve fitness. Now getting a normal bike. Can’t wait. I bet it’ll feel light and not planted and skittish. Can’t wait.

    Anyone else treat their Emtb like trash?

    Sur-Ron eBike

    I’d love one. You can get them road legal. Not for the eMTB trails but if I had the space I’d get one. Keep looking for woodland to buy.

    Anyone else treat their Emtb like trash?

    Mine is starting to get a bit beaten up. But in winter it’ll get new parts. The bits the pedals attach to will get replaced. New brakes. New grips with end caps. New brakes. That plus a polish it’ll look great. New tyres too. They get a lot of abuse so will get dinged up a lot. Had a go on my...

    Anyone built a track?

    @Rusty you are summoned. I have approx 180x120 meters to play with. Field is 3 meters lower at one end than the other. So 3 meter drop over 120. I have access to a digger and operator. Currently the field has been left to go wild. First thing I’ll do is now it nearly, leaving some areas around...

    Anyone else get called a cheat??

    To date I’ve had banter 9 times out of 10. Yesterday was different. Oh well. Not to worry, I’m still having fun.

    Anyone else get called a cheat??

    Yesterday’s ride was the nastiest I’ve had. Four groups of Lycra clad people with spotless MTBs but otherwise wearing road gear shouting very strong words at me. No provocation on my part. First was on the flat. Two men started commenting loudly that ebikes are for fat cnuts. I just laughed and...

    Riding on Footpaths .

    I ride them all the time, no issues. I’m always polite and compliment their dog or something. Seems to work.

    What's the steepest hill / mountain / mineshaft you've climbed?

    Yesterday I rode up a 1:2 gradient. Only about 20 feet but still almost killed me. Did it in the big gear in EMTB mode and struggled to keep the front down while the rear spun up. I’m not entirely sure why I did it.

    Lack of motivation .

    Where do you live? Maybe you need a riding buddy or to find new places. Or get yourself some basic tools and find some new trails amongst the debris.

    Anyone built a track?

    Hello. I’ve started conversations with the local council and MP to be given land to create a community pump and jump area. They’ll provide the land and access and I’ll provide the dirt (know a local and very large builder so it’s free) and time. I have a few experienced riders on the team but...

    No, ebikes aren’t cheating

    Don’t! I’ve sold all my motorbikes and are starting to miss them.

    An Open Letter to all Mountain Bikers....

    Those in my village are very... not sure how best to describe them. Insular. Wary. Unsure of anything with wheels. Like to fight the fight against any type of change - loudly. Backed by funds and long held personal connections.

    What do all you e-bikers do in winter???

    I truly despise winter. Not sure what I’ll do. I may have a non ebike by then but even so don’t really like the idea of the local trails with how muddy they get. Think you’ll sink past the cranks muddy. I’m not riding in the road for sure so... replace parts often?
