Don't think this one has been posted yet: https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-US/heckler
Seems like SC is trying to have a sense of humor on its e-bike entry. A little odd they'd use such an iconic name but whatever ...

Endurance Guy: Tolerates most of us.
It's actually really clever. All of us are like, "Sick!! A new Heckler!!" And then are immediately disappointed. Like a push-up bra. Or Yoga pants.

Kinda like the old Jetta Trek from 2000ish...
I’m at a Pivot this week in AZ with dealers from CA, NH, and CO. They all say that their ebike business seems to about double each year for the last 2-3 seasons. They say that on rides that require 3000ft or so of climbing, that ebikes are bringing people back to to sport who quit because it was too hard to do most rides unless your are an avid rider.
The general consensus here is that getting more people on bikes is a good thing and that ebikes are very much here to stay. They also report that they see very little conflict on trails with ebikes. This is especially true in areas where off-road motorcycles are common and an ebike seems so mellow as compared to a 450 ripping by you.

So they’re bringing the ******* back into the sport then? Hmmm, somehow I don’t buy that. They didn’t quit because the climbs were too hard, anyone that enjoys descending enough to do 3000ft of it doesn’t just quit.

Don't piss off the red guy
This is what I'm talking about.
I’m not trying to bust your balls at all here, but I’ve met quite a few people who only ride dh. They live for the descents but hate climbing. Seems kinda similar?

Most of the dedicated DH guys have been doing it for years, on DH bikes, prioritize laps, and have the whole shuttle thing worked out, because you can actually do MORE laps with a shuttle vs. pedaling back up (even on an ebike).
While you have Pivots ear, ask them why they're charging boutique prices for their bikes despite the fact that they've apparently found the cheapest place on the planet to make bikes, outside of an African conflict zone (Burma).
Ok I read this whole thing looking for an infraction and after the last 7 pages my Ban Hammer was strong. But I’m not seeing anything.
Where’s the beef?
My mind is as barren as the surface of the moon....
That's why i came back to this pic 3 times and then had to google....
