"I wish i had one"
I wish i had a full suspension💀

Having epilepsy, I'm not allowed a driving license. My ebike is an absolute God-send.

People need to remember that some of us are disabled and worn out. Biking isn't just about exercise. Sometimes we just want to get outside and cruise around in nature...

I commute about 300 miles a week on mine. Every time someone bitches about how I cheating I ask how many calories they're burning driving to work.

I'm riding for the fun not for the pain.. e-bike it is. :D

[Bozza]

Once I passed a group of older roadies going up a hill. I was testing out my friends e-bike, and they all called me a cheater. Little did they know it wasn't even turned on, so I was carrying an extra 10+ kilos up the hill...

I rode mountain bikes all my life.The last few years I noticed I was riding less and less.Bought my electric mountain bike and ride more now than ever before.I’m 66 and still pedal every mile. But it is so much more enjoyable and I get up ready to ride daily!

[nadiamalisan]

I would like to have an electric bike but the satisfaction after having made a climb with my strength is something indescribable

[gcprost]

Whenever I pass someone on a trail with my e-bike, I always say, “Cheater coming through!”

[Jsoberon]

The real thing that should be Illegal is the eBike prices. 10k for a bike that would be 4k if it weren't an eBike.

Be proud that you can still get up a hill under your own power.

[abhishekpoojar]

Lock the suspension while climbing Uphill . So that can save your 30% energy and move faster without putting all your pedal stroke power on suspension and without getting tired quickly. 🙄

61 tomorrow still riding my older bikes. Getting back into riding shape at my age is more difficult. I would try an e-bike but not in the budget. They seem to be heavy and on a longer ride it may not be better. But on my groceries and short rides i wish I had one because of the heat. Starting in the summer out of shape and DVT I have made huge improvements in my health and overall attitude. My bikes are what pulls me out of whatever it is but I would consider one.

Something about getting up a hill with your own strength is just an amazing feeling

[stevesecret]

People acting badly on powered vehicles tend to attract bans.

[freddyfox]

I prefer the simplicity of a normal bicycle that I'm able to fix myself

[stopsign]

I get great enjoyment of passing a ebike on my non ebike

[roguecode]

I got smoked by an e-bike on my fixie, then I caught up 10 mins later, the guy was walking it back because it died on him. lol

[erikpartida]

I love my ebike. Helps with my knee pain

[jasonborne]

Most of my friends stopped riding when three of our group had heart attacks on the bike. All in good shape but right around 60. Two of us went to Super Light e bikes, not full fat. A 60nm motor is just enough to help you out on long climbs or up technical sections. We see how much we can ride with them off, or on lowest setting. On low it makes my $6k bike, feel like I spent $13k on the top of the line carbon analog bike.
