When you have to eat your words...

another hater come owner of an e-bike here.

I use it for trail building, recovery rides and as a husband/father for the 1.5hrs I get free to myself to crush as many laps as I can. I always thought it was cheating.... but who am I racing? More laps.... more fun.... more skill progression on the Downhills. I still feel flogged after a ride because I've literally done 2.5x the riding I could on my stumpy evo.

I was a hater when it came to E-Bikes/Pedal assist, but I can say this is one of those situtaitons that I should have tried it before I spoke. This isn't the first or last review, opinion, or conversation about E-bikes it's just my experience and I think it will enlighten some of you. If you know me I like to pedal and suffer, so after riding this bike I was taken back. If you have time take a second to read my latest post on My Two Wheel Life
