MTBR Post here!

I wont post this on MTBR for obvious reasons, but would this have happened if he was riding an Emtb? He would still be shredding with us....R.I.P. Fellow rider...

I don't know. In my little experience you can find yourself pushing really hard precisely because you have the assistance in climbs where you'd probably be unable to ride a normal one.

Which are exactly the same reasons you shouldn't have posted it here.

Why not? This is an open forum right? I will let this post fade away since it is too depressing, but I'm still convinced that an Emtb could have helped avoid situations like these in the future. Granted there are a lot of other dangers involved with our passion for riding.

I’m a 55 year old guy married 3 kids worked all my life hard as many other family people. Just slowed down started skiing full time etc had not been on a mountain bike at least 23 years. I’m 122 kls out shape long story short e bikes are perfect at this stage in life , to go have some adventures in the mountains with out having a heart attack. Slowly I’ll get in to a normal bike I think. But damn they are lot fun.
