I suppose it's the way things like supercars or high end watches are viable. You just need to find enough of a market to sell enough $30k Road bikes to make the business sustainable.

Raced the State XC champs on Saturday. Just didn't have the grunt up the hills that I wanted. 5th place for the day. With only three 6km laps for the old guys it takes me two laps to warm up and not have my legs feel like jelly. I'm just not built for sprint races. 😆

Nice work! My goal of 10,000km is out the window. With poor weather, work and family trips away, I'm just not going to have enough time to make it. The Iron Torathon in December is my next challenge to prepare for so I'll see if 10 laps are possible.

Yeah, no different to putting pedals on a CR500 and claiming that it's pedal assist. 🤦‍♂️

So, what are they?

I reckon either Sheffield or Latrobe would be good choices to keep Mrs George occupied. The Latrobe trails are a small group on their own but are linked to Railton by the Railton Express trail. If you decide to ride the Sheffield/Railton trails over in the Badgers Range I’d recommend starting...

Yeah, Metallica was pretty epic

What interests Mr George?

You must be bloody slow on a bike.😄

That it!

There a massive difference between a pedal assist Emtb and a Stark Varg and you know it.

And Bike + dirt = dirt bike so a mountain bike is a dirt bike if you follow that logic. Electric shifting has a motor in the derailleur and batteries so they must be EBikes too. It's a silly argument. Ebikes are pedal assisted bicycles and motorcycles are throttle activated, motor driven...

Well a normal mountain bike is a "dirt" bike, if you are going to be pedantic. You ride that in the dirt don't you? ;)

It's a dirt bike and you know it.

Oh, I'm not saying that there shouldn't be any competition, just saying that there's already a good electric dirt bike out there. Electric is the future and it makes sense for MX as the range issue isn't a problem for racing, and eventually they will be all electric. That said, this is really...

Scamano cranks

There's already the Stark Varg out there if you want a proper electric dirt bike.

I've just placed an order for a new big boy petrol Stihl backpack blowers for the club. That might have enough grunt to blow me up the hill! 😆

I'm probably in Trail (middle setting) on my Levo SL for most trail riding. Turbo for when I am just wanting to get out for a quick lap or I'm heading out for some trail work with a chainsaw or blower on my back and when riding with full power bikes so I can keep up. Eco or off, I only use when...
