4/16/2022 8:09am Ditto. I would like to add that some stats you will want to look for are 29" wheels, a Shimano drivetrain (stay away from SRAM SX, cheap crap), and air suspension. 29ers are really the only way to go because 27er or mullet (29" front, 27.5" rear) are for flickalbility and playing on jumps, not efficiency and the ability to...

Probably one of the prettiest builds I've seen. How did you achieve the weight of 0 lbs 0 oz? Something to do with the eeWings?

4/12/2022 1:40pm eMTB's are not any more a threat to the open outdoors than a bunch of humans coming into the forest to cut trails that are for nothing more than luxurious pedaling, coasting, and forbidden shredding. Along this line of thought we should ban MTB's, as they consume resources for outdoor activity that could be replaced with hiking through untouched woods.

I watched the video a few times. There's a lot said and a lot to address, but I'm going to just respond to the points pointed out by Vital. 1)Do eMTB’s do more damage to trails than regular analog pedal bikes? Joe cites that there has been very little, to no real, research done. While he feels the impact is no different from a regular mountain bike, data talks and BS walks. - The problem is, so many eMTB haters prefer to judge ignorantly than to actually comprehend any data presented to them. A lot of eMTB haters bring up...

Cheating. This is a sentiment that continues to come up. Why does everybody care or feel like it is cheating? Are they cheating you and your strava times? Do you feel like the e-bike rider is cheating themselves? Or is your ego hurt when you get passed by some fat guy who just got turned into Nino? But if it's a cancer patient, it's now OK? Like wtf, can't you just worry about yourself?

Upon hearing his #4 proposal I will never again purchase a trek product. Shredding is the point of the sport, this mans view is irrelevant.

"Why would an E-bike (that weighs 15-20 lbs more) not damage a trail more than a regular bicycle" The range of rider body weights makes 15 extra pounds of bike weight insignificant.. Possibly this important study will conclude that trails should have a weight limit and weight station at the trail-head. If the rider + bike (ebike or regular) is over the limit, no riding for you. Horses of course will not be subject to these limits.
