Agreed. EBikes are fun but have some limitations due to weight. Should be a minimal difference by the time I am ready for one in the next 15-20 years.Honestly they are very cool made the climb as fun as down hill on full blast, but you really cant ride that way if you want the battery to last more than 30 min. It's a great tool for a day like I had today where I basically shuttled myself up a mountain to make 5-6 runs without it I would be lucky to get 2, but you suffer when going back down hill. They are heavy and I really wasnt comfortable on the downhills. I got more used to it but kept missing my bike.
That brings me to the next weird thing. While I had a FS bike I hated it unless the rear was either locked or cut in half. I struggled in the gnar which there was some serious gnar and hated it in the flow. Gotta start to demo I may not be interested in FS, I kept wishing I had my bike because I would be so much faster. That could also be the weight.
My opinion is that anyone against am ebike hasnt ridden one. They are really useful but with their drawbacks and honestly couldnt imagine using one in many parks in NJ even as Inget older but RW wayway are 2 that come to mind large parks that you need to work for the down hill
