    Shimano BT-E8035 Integrated Battery Issue: very fast degrading and loss of range

    I tried to climb the Old Man of Coniston on a real emtb, no throttle, it destroyed me.

    Thats basically what I ride. A few spots were definitely more slippy but yeah. Ebikes definitely make something that would be almost impossible far more enjoyable. It annoys me when I see people talk about boost like its just a fat man's setting. Clearly you haven't tackled a trail that is super...

    Is it ok to call your fellow e-biker a cheat?

    Look at professional sports. Basketball is dominated by 7ft+ people. The LA kings are made up of players from Canada to Russia. The olympics are full of people who use steroids that can't be detected... people love to cheat. Best advice, dont compare yourself to cheaters.
