Does anyone have a difficult time choosing which bike to ride

[Underblu]

This of course assumes the rider has more than one bicycle. Since getting my Orbea Rise to go along with my Heckler MX, I now find myself having to think about which bike to ride.

Anyone have the same “dilemma”?

I have always had loads of bikes to choose from but haven't ever found any difficulty choosing which one I want to ride.

Are your two Ebikes a little too similar?

They are similar but like two Les Pauls or Strats each has its distinctive personality

Erm... what?

the question is ...why did you buy 2 emtbs that are very similar!
I have a trail bike ( Levo) and an enduro bike (Whyte E180).....easy choice depending on where I am going to ride.

In the past when I've had similar bikes in my stable, the favorite would frequently get ridden, and the less favorites would gather dust in the garage. On the rare occasions that it would get taken out, I'd be reminded why it's not my favorite. Now I just have two bikes: Amish and Electric. Both are enduro-style because that's what I like to ride. The A vs E riding experience is vastly different, so it makes sense to keep both.

Depends who I'm riding with. If it's other eMTB riders then I ride my Merida e160. If by myself or with new riders then I usually pick my eZesty. I did keep my older Merida e160 when I upgraded but this has been resized and set up for my girlfriend or my son to ride. At a pinch I could set it up for me if something went wrong on the new bike. But generally the choice is easy.

Can't say that I find it difficult to pick one of my bikes to ride. If anything, I find that when I ride a particular bike for a while and become acclimated to how it feels/handles/etc, it gives me incentive to revise components in an effort to have some form of particular standard.
Granted, I'm not implying that every bike I have runs the same handlebars/stem/dropper post as each bike I have will have different geometry. Moreso, a standard in terms of drivetrain/gearing etc.

Unfortunately nope, I live dahn south where houses cost so much, you need to sell every asset you can find to pay for food

I have 3 bikes to cover our 12 months and with different tires
picking one is easy. They are diffent enough.

I have no problems in selecting from my 3 totally different bikes. Sounds like OP bought the same bike twice.

After a few hours deciding which ride I’d like to go for, I will liok for the bike that has
Air on the tyres
Feel at the brake levers
Movement on the dropper post
And go

Used other 3 bikes less and less since got Ebike . Probably 10 times in 2 years . Just sold Nicolai used twice since ebike. Ebike going back to dealer soon interesting to see if i use other ones. Or just go for walk instead.

Not really . The Levo wins over the hardtail cube with half the power everytime . I sometimes ride the cube out of pity. Or when I break the Levo . And is always there on standby .
