F*ck the greedy industry.
F*ck the UCI for indulging the fall of a pillar of it's own foudation and bending over to the industry.
Never in my 30 years I was against any form of bike racing, segment or type of riding.
I am against E-MTB racing.
Drown me with your neg props.
Because bicycle racing should be a human powered sport.
I fall right on the potencial e-bike buyer category: Middle aged, two big injuries making me slower, racing days mostly over, tired, little time to ride.
Yet, I had that crap. Never buying one, or acepting it's place on this sport.
I ride slower, but it's me doing it all,as it always been. No crutches.
Let me ask you... are you against freehubs? How about hubs with more points of engagement with ceramic bearings? What about a dropper post? What about better gear ratios and carbon fiber making your bike incredibly lighter? Or maybe adjustable suspension travel?
A lot of e-bikes will not move unless you pedal. They just make climbing easier like all the tech. I mentioned. You're just another hypocrite trying to find a pointless issue to attach yourself to in order to add value to your otherwise worthless existence. For an old man, you have a lot of growing up to do.
I'm really looking forward to the day when mountain bikes as we know them (the non-motorized variety) are as hard to find as new 26" bikes and tires. I really can't wait until PinkBike devotes more and more resources to this bullshit so that I don't have to read articles on proper bikes anymore.
What I'm especially looking forward to is when e-bikes get a little more development, so that they become as fast as shitty motorcycles, and we all get banned from trails because everyone else has a reasonable fear for their safety. Also, as e-bikes get more power the tires will need to get bigger (like dirtbikes rear tires) and it will destroy the trails. That's going to be awesome.
Lazy mother f*ckers. If you don't want to pedal then get a motorcycle and have fun going 5x as fast for 1/2 the price.
Bikes are so goddamn cheap these days for what you get. What are you even talking about you goof?
In other news goddamn ebikes are fun, and I’m amazed how big the time spread is. Also the rider list is pretty cool, lot of big names came out.
Rider numbers are up, federal governments are spending federal money on trail development. Rider numbers are up, bike shops are actually able to make money again, to retain and train useful staff instead of the typical minimum wage bullshit. Manufacturing numbers are up, meaning production time is down.
E-bikes produce less trail erosion as they have constant torque to the wheel, unlike when people hammer and spin their tires on climbs. What damages trails? Endless web edits of people slapping berms, roosting every corner their find, and making strava lines.
Bet you do a lot for the sport, crying onto your canti-braked rigid 26” bike.
Swallow some pride, go ride a levo or something. Tell me you didn’t enjoy it, bet you would ride more if you had one.
But back to your ridiculous comparisons, all of those advances have one giant thing in common, the still kept the bicycle as a human powered vehicle. Ebikes add a motor and completely change the contraption. And before you chime in with "oh, but ebikes require you to pedal to work" bs, the amount of pedaling required to tap into the motor is trivial. You can charge up a 5000 foot climb at world cup xc speeds while soft pedaling like you're on a beach cruiser on the boardwalk. The pedal assist part of it is just a contrivance so people can tell themselves their still riding a bike.
Yeah, people are into what they're into. But some things deserve to be ridiculed-- just like rollerblading.
* Also a test ride will change your mind, fun as hell!
Class one is what nearly all Emtbs are - 20 mph, no throttle.
Class 2 is the exact same as 1 but has throttle. (There’s some argument over how the law is written whether 20mph applies to pedals or throttle here) so some will have pedal assist up to 28mph while the throttle stops at 20.
Class 3 is pedal assist only (no throttle) up to 28 mph and must be built for street riding only.
All are true Ebikes. In USA, if the machine is capable of exceeding 30mph by its own power, It is considered a motor vehicle and thereby subject to all laws and regulations of the road. Anything under that threshold does not require license or any other certificate and falls into its own category.
"You can charge up a 5000 foot climb at world cup xc speeds while soft pedaling like you're on a beach cruiser on the boardwalk"
So don't use false equivalencies but use absurd exaggerations? Got it.
Your logic is flawed and painful to read. You could use that same logic for road bikes, gravel bikes, hardtail XC bikes, kids bikes, fat bikes, etc. Bike companies don't exist to make stuff cheaper. They exist to make bikes. Go ahead. Ask them. Of course you won't. The reality is it's a new profitable niche for bike companies like SUV's and Crossovers for car companies. It's called reality.
If you really want to be pissed at something, try human sex trafficking, the Yemeni, civil war starving millions of people, not some bullshit about bloody ebike racing, FFS.
Ignorance definition: Lack of knowledge. You're correct, tjallen is showing a lack of knowledge about e-bikes by making absurd statements about how effortless riding an e-bike is.
Arrogance definition: Exaggerating one's self-importance. You're right, nozes is showing plenty of arrogance by stating e-bikes is the only racing format he's hated in 30 years, like that's somehow increases his ignorant opinion.
As for general rudeness? Yeah you're right, you're all being incredibly rude for hating on yet another technological development in MTBing and looking down on anyone that takes advantage of it.
Seeing as how you've only been riding for a couple of years, I can excuse your ignorance and general rudeness. Nice job, buddy.
And people are not hating on a technological development in mountain biking. They're put off by a technological development in motorized vehicles being lumped in with cycling. There's a difference between the two. Not to say there's not a place for ebikes. Just take them where motorized vehicles are permitted and keep off non-motorized trails.
You're from Washington, not Canada, eh.
Show me any proof to your original absurd statements. While you're at it, show me your mind reading tech that allows you to speak for others who you've never talked to before. I'll wait.
You initially responded to me using baseless comments. I didn't make up anything to suit a certain narrative you clearly have and are desperate to "prove". LOL
I was amused that we saw two articles about e-bikes in the same week and that they were so different. The circus show last week was a joke and is a stain on the sport. I’ve ridden e-bikes and am actually a cautious fan. My concern is that cheap models will flood the market—models without proper governors and with throttles. I’ve seen them and they have the potential to ruin the prospect of e-bikes for everyone.
Enduro now : People are pissed because its more exciting to follow than DH, but lacks live coverage.
Sounds a bit like kids visiting the old farts in the retirement home where a tricycles vs wheelchair event would be organized ;-)
That’s where they come into their own, I think. That and when you only have two hours to ride but want to get all your favourite local trails in.
“I can’t think of anything worse than a beginner on an ebike.”
Mountain biking isn’t full and it hasn’t closed its doors to new arrivals - the more people on bikes the healthier and happier the world will be. The sport doesn’t belong to the Pinkbike elite I’m afraid.
Speaking of Luddites... I LOL’d inside thinking about this comment thread when I saw the DOI passed an order allowing eMTBs on National Park trails.
I am 100% against it. I mean, come on.
I also don't get comments that says that people that are against the inclusions of motor in cycling sports are ''narrow minded''
What? please explain how not appreciating having motorized sports competitions in the same venues as cycling is narrow minded? THE POINT OF CYCLING SPORTS IS: HUMAN POWER.
It deserves our full vitriol, mirth and ridicule!!
UCI, if you want to run an e-doping MTB category you may as well admit you have failed to regulate road cycling and reclassify it as "Doping Road Racing"*
* From a BBC article on asthma in cycling: "Research suggests that around 35-40% of British Olympic cyclists use an inhaler, compared with 21% of the Olympic team as a whole and 9% of the general population."
www.bbc.com/sport/cycling/42335916
“When the air is cold and dry, this can trigger asthma-related symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath and tightness in the chest, also known as exercise-induced asthma.”
PS The winters in England are not cold and dry!
Here’s a video from back in the day, incl analysis of Cancellara’s riding when he supposedly used it in Flanders and Paris-Roubaix: m.youtube.com/watch?v=8Nd13ARuvVE
a single viewpoint. Don't be scared :-)
I say delimit them and watch the shit show. I think it could be incredible head to head racing.
Will end up being banned at some tracks,as the maintenance can’t keep up with the amount of wear.
Not against E bikes but maybe certain tracks should be designated for E bikes.
Additionnaly I'm not against e-MTB in general and enjoyed renting one a few times, but do we really have to create a competition of everything? Can't an activity be simply recreationnal?
You're hating hating on a post about eMTBs that is enttled "eMTB World Champs Results" because you hate eMTBs, yeah?
Yet you've not yet actually tried riding an eMTB and you CHOSE to click on this article!!
You come across just quite alot ignorant and stupid!
It’s just anarchy of the masses I am afraid.
It’s also an age thing , if you can’t ride up it’s a way of saying I am passed it , which nobody wants to admit , more people enjoy the downs if they ve earned it .
eMTBs did 4 laps of 7.3 kms while XCO did 7 laps of 4 kms plus a one km prelude lap. Nino averaged 20 km/h while Alan averaged 26 km/h.

I've learned that if you can do something that you can do it competitively (see lawnmower racing, professional foosball, etc.) That of course doesn't mean you should. But if you dig it, who am I to yuck your yum?
Anyway, I can't wait until Redbul.tv adds a separate channel for e-bikes, mopeds, vespas, and golf carts! Gonna be RAD
