Serious question: what’s behind the “e-bike pilot site” nomenclature? I gotta wonder how far we are away from spots that are designed expressly for self-shuttling and in particular e-bike self shuttles. I can envision hot-swap battery stations at the base of the mountain. Fully emissions-free ride spots. How cool would that be?

There isn’t that big of a difference. Yes e bike motors are super weak compared to most dirt bikes, but all of them can be modified to remove speed / power output restrictions. If it’s a power output thing, why can’t I ride my crf110 at the trail center, it’s quiet, slow, and I promise to pass people on the left? Once something has a motor it will be hacked, modified, whatever to produce more power, it’s what we do with motors. This is why I don’t see any real difference between and e bike and an overpriced weak dirt...

Of course, I rode the trek superfly just outside Genoa Italy and then I’ve done some riding on my local trails on a Levo. I thought both were fun to ride. They are both obviously motorized, it’s a different sport. And I think that is my point. It’s not mountain biking because of the motor. There are some parallels in my current situation and yours. I live in an area with big climbs and descents and I struggle up them on my mountain bike when work / family allows. But that is part of what I consider mountain biking. However...

Nicest guy ever, went out of his way to find a marker to sign my kid’s hat in the pits. Stoked for his amazing career and for him to have more time with his family!

Honest question: have you ridden any kind of ebike? (Not a Walmart special but a brand-name, legit ebike with big name components? Did it suck? Did it break?) Not saying you can't express your opinion without direct experience but it would help us understand your POV. I've been riding MTBs for 30 years and I was pretty anti-ebike until recently. I'll spare you the long story but I'll say that these are the factors that have changed my mind. In no particular order: 1) I am a new dad. 2) my two year old has a chronic health condition that...

Honestly wasn't aware the term 'acoustic bikes' carried so much distaste from fellow riders. I'm down to call bikes what ever people would like to help clarify the category of bicycle. Mountain bikes and electric mountain bikes. Down with that moving forward, cheers!

Preach it brother! A non-motorized bike is just a bike. A motorized bike is an ebike, unless it's got footpegs and a twist throttle, in which case it's a moped.

"Acoustic Bikes"? Hard nope there. Can we all just agree that the nomenclature for a normal fully mechanical non-motor assisted bike is a bike and a e-bike is an e-bike.

Those look cool as hell. Reminds me of the Bontrager XXX Crowbars so many of us shop guys were running twenty years ago. They were 4130, had a crossbar, and were quite wide as well. Being a Trek dealer we got good pricing on them. I think they were less than $25 after tax.

Agree, these look sweet. Granted this is totally a first-world problem, but to me it solves the 'hassle' of unlacing wet and muddy laces which are commonplace much of the year here in the PNW. I think they nailed it with all the shoes though TBH.
