Longtime MTB and off-road motorcycle racer here, but eMTB newbie. I just picked up my 2020 Haibike AllMtn 2.0 and have a couple rides in. It has the large battery (non-stealth mode). I know I shouldn't care about what other people think when I pass them, but I had the crazy idea of a side decal that makes it look like a one or two water bottles. Is that a dumb idea? Has anyone done that? I tried a Google search, unsuccessfully.

Nah, everyone will still know that its a battery... especially because of the speed in which you pass them - is a dead giveaway! :giggle: eBikes have been around for some time now, so there's no point hiding the fact.

You could put something creative that could freak other riders even more though... like a radioactive sticker, or a chemical hazard warning label, or a biological weapon tag. Or something humorous... like your favourite beer brand or make it look like a can of baked beans! That should disarm potential critics... ;)
