The irony............You're saying... anyone that wants to have fun in anything can't unless they're an expert or fit in that thing. Are. You. Serious? So if I'm not fit, then I can't enjoy mountain biking via ebikes? If I'm not fit, then I can't enjoy swimming at the beach with flippers? If I hate game controllers, then I can't enjoy FPS games via a keyboard and mouse? Fuck off kent.
I still don't like the stigma that riding an ebike is effortless either. Riding any bike takes effort and sweat and a level of fitness. You still have to work really hard to get to the level of a fit XC rider on a pedal assist bike. If you think about it, it takes MORE effort and skill and strength in some areas of riding. Ebikes are still a lot of effort but it's now FUN where it wasn't before.
I'm pretty close to moving any E bike related thread to off topic 'cause. ya know, it isn't related to mountain biking.
