Hi guys,
just found this forum.
I'm almost 50 and riding eMTB since last year.
Before, I was a mega-anti-motor-guy hating all e-bikers and called them cheaters.
Well, then my wife surprised me by buying herself an eMTB.
I shouted at her and called her several unfriendly sounding words. She lifted one finger and said: "Quiet honey or it will be quiet in bed."
I remembered some very memorable and loud nights in bed with her so I decided to go with her advice.
A few days later my best wife of all wifes asked me to check the derailleur and chain on her new eMTB.
I immediately followed her order because I had her words from a few days ago still in my head.
After checking everything I decided to have a short ride to make sure all is fine.
Shouldn't have done this...
Dang... what a great feeling.
Amazing... I had to try some things out with this motor-thing.
My phone rang and I had my beloved wife at my ear.
Her beautiful voice roared:
"What the hell, where are you? It's almost an hour ago since you left the house. The garage is wide open, the door as well and our dog is missing!"
It turned out that my little test ride was a bit longer than I thought.
It also turned out that my wife and I had a very silent night and everyone of us slept under our own blanket.
The next day my wife tried out her eMTB on a longer trip together with me. She beat the hell out of my thigh muscles and while I was completely destroyed she was thinking in full sentences about what she is going to cook for dinner and how I have to prepare it.
Long story short, I kept the eMTB for me and bought her instead the upgraded version because she wanted a smaller frame size.
So my current ride is a heavily pimped 2018 Haibike Allmtn 6.0, while my beloved wife owns the same bike in 8.0 but unpimped.
Since then I never touched my biobike again.
Hope I didn't annoy you all with this story.
Cheers, Horst
