In my group everyone has an eBike now and for several of them it is their only bike. Once you get on one you really don't want to ride anything else most of the time.

In this article, that’s spurred you on to comment, they say that an emtb has 1/50th of the power of a dirt bike, so your argument is ruined by facts.

And how many times have you almost been taken out by a regular bike? It is not the machine it is the rider and all too common.

You should do a 29" comparison and then a 27.5" comparison. Ive owned a 27.5' Sight VLT and now a Levo 29' and they are day and night different. I think mainly due to the wheel size. I think 27.5" feels snappy and fun on these heavier bikes.

I think you are missing what an eMTB is, the choice in between a aMTB and Moto.

You guys should do a test of the direct to consumer brands, YT, Commencal, Canyon, Propain and Fezzari. Also like to see how the new Yamaha YDX Moro Pro matches up against the bike manufactures.

I liked the summary at the end of the video, it is a new form of two-wheel fun! If all you know is MTBikes and likes to pedal or Moto rider that likes to just twist-throttle then you are not going to like an eMTB. If you are someone who likes to MTbikes and Moto, you will have a blast on a eMTB

I think it's a good start, but I was hoping for more eMTB in the review (8 to 10 eMTB )

Its funny that the most comments i get at the bike park are from kids. Usually its "hey, nice bike!!". Like the computer age, kids were on board enthusiastically from the start. G ma and g pa still working on getting the vhs on the go. Next gen will be after eebs

I agree with your opinion on the subject of eMTB vs aMTB, except for they are different sports. The way and how you ride eMTB is different from a aMTB. Just as the way you will ride a surfboard vs bodyboard, to different tools that share the same natural playground. I just finished listening to the whole podcast at 10:12 the subject of a eMTB vs aMTB as different sports.

Spot in Salespunk. Your experience mirrors mine exactly. And most of the riders I’m riding with have pretty much made the switch after years regular rides. It’s just makes everything more fun. Even the boring trails. No longer are you avoiding trails that don’t have quite the downhill as a reward. It’s really just the regular bike experience but more fun. All the infighting seems to come from within our own community.

This is going to be fun. A bunch of riders who have never tried one complaining that it is a different sport, they don't belong on trails, they are motorcycles, they cause more trail erosion etc, etc, etc. Pretty much the exact same argument that the Sierra Club used against mountain bikes. As the owner of both I can say it is all a bunch of hyperbole. If you haven't ridden one on trails for a day or two you won't get it. eBikes make climbing fun (yes I am fit and can climb just fine on my standard bike)...
