Is that patrol motor assisted or pedalling only?

technically its engine assisted, as motors run on electricity!

That was like watching a MX race, where everyone was limited to 1st gear.

If eMTB racing is going to be a thing (and the jury is still out on that one), it can't be this...m.pinkbike.com
Yep, emtb racing. Check out the dude on the stealth.. It is so similar to mtb racing it’s uncanny.

I can't see how an ebike race can work unless it is an enduro type race with no timed uphills, if you factor in the motor either everyone has to have the exact same bike or it really doesn't work, even then how would you police it? Anyway the UCI is trying it aren't they, we'll see if makes any sense.

The UCI and sensible rules go together like FIFA and financial probity.

It's official. Electric power-assist bike racing is an actual UCI Mountain Bike World Championships event and now has first-time gold medal winners. When the UCI first announced the event, plenty of Vital viewers had opinions. Vital member yzedf...

worth a read for those that can be bothered
Does it says that e-bikes destroy trails and the whole mtb experience, and all e-bike riders are pricks?

We must have seen the same cloud pattern?
An e bike passed me today on the road climb between trails on my local. He was flying and I would have thought the better ride would have been up the dirt, but this rider went straight up the road while I hit the dirt. So the answer all e bikes cutting cheat lines us to have tarmac near by.
I still want an ebike.
edit, it is ironic that the dirt trail he passed is called french connection given the title if this thread

It's Not Easy Being Green
A mate had his first ride on his ebike with us the other day. He's 59 and was grinning like a 14 year old.
He was running rings around us on the climbs.
He was almost out of mountain biking after a stack at Tassie in March, we were just getting him back, and then an impulse buy recently and he's all in again!
That's the positive of the ebike. It'll push the rest of us that ride with him as well. Even still there'll be no keeping up on the climbs....
I'll be very strongly talking him out of any French lines!
