EBike Bicycle do you have one?

it fills a big gap if you are a mountain biker that wants to get out there in more remote areas, it allows you to access tons of trails that analog bikers simply can't. Above a certain grade, it's a total chore to use an analog bike. You can also go farther than analogs and simply see more and experience more in a single ride. Also it takes more skill to ride one (not as much as a motorcycle) because there are more parameters to control for, and you're moving faster.

i have a mountain bike, but wouldn’t exactly say i was good at it. very lame considering i live in a known mountain biking mecca - TONS of awesome trails. it’s all literally within spitting distance of my property. but you’ve stimulated me to rethink this. thanks dude. at least until i either wrap myself around a tree, or launch over a cliff (whichever comes first lol).

Use my bike! (y)
 
I just bought a Trek Fuel EXe alloy frame version and really like it. I had recently recommissioned my 1997 full suspension Specialized Stumpjumper, hadn't touched it in years and now at age 75 found it a struggle to climb many of my old trails. The ebike lets me get out and ride further and longer. With 50 Nm of torque the Fuel is lower powered compared to many but with a smaller battery it's also a bit lighter. Unlike most others there are no belts or gears in the motor drive and the unique motor design is virtually silent. The frame is much less bulky around the motor so at first glance it is not obvious that it's an ebike.
