Why im not an E-bike guy... hear me out:
Ever since I was a kid I've had alot of energy which would sometimes get me in trouble... then I discovered biking and getting all that energy out. Still it continues into my 40s I wear myself out and it helps me function and focus. When I ride an Ebike I don't get that energy out and the downs still aren't as much fun. And to the responses I know I'll get saying just ride more it's not the same. Max wattage output is no where near a regular mtb ride
