Agreed - here is what I said on the ONE Lap: I think these are great - I'm older, moving to elevation, and haven't ridden in a few years - a bike like this could make it possible for me to actually go out and enjoy the ride vs feel like I am torturing myself. This is an assisted bike and I don't get the hate honestly, I would agree the throttle bikes should probably stick to MX trails and the like due to impact, etc. but an assisted bike just make the pedaling easier...

I'm all for it. 20+ years of hard core MTB experience and 10+ years extreme enduro moto experience. No it's not 'pure' in the MTB/sado masochististic pedaling sense whatever the hell that means. And no I can't do a 100+ mile epic singletrack throttle twisting day on it. This is a different more accessible hybrid. I MTB 5-6 days a week, 500,000+ ft elevation climbing a year. Face it, the climb to descend ratio sucks. Spend 20+ minutes climbing for a 2-3 minute descent. I'd love to improve that fun ratio and this is a tool that can do it...
