Hi all

Joining with 2 Cubes in Ireland

I converted from Enduro Motorbikes to EMTB a while ago and have no regrets

Welcome

Same same, but without all the oil changes, air filter cleaning and only putting on half the protective gear, so much fun though, welcome along, lots of great info here

you're so right
A EMTB day out is so easy to arrange and the maintenance is very little.

Also so many more places to go without offending folk

Welcome.
I'm still clinging to my enduro bikes (Gas Gas 300 and 1987 PE250) but the eMTB thing scratches the itch more often since I moved and don't have trails right from my house that I can ride my gassers on anymore. I have to truck those to legal trails now. :-(

Had a WR426 and a Berg FE 350 when living in rural ireland but my job brought me into the city.

Didnt even know where to park the trailer

I have spins away from my house with parks and woods or the train gets me to nearby woods with a pub on the way home. On WE i load my buzz and go to nice place near the sea for a cycle with a swim

Excellent having the train close by, I had a KTM 300 and various VMX bikes over the years, just found the racing was getting too serious with young guns taking up the sport. Where as the older guys gave each other 'racing room' the YG's were racing for SHEEP STATIONS. Similar story with the 300, I have thousands of acres forestry right outside my back door, just came off the 300 a couple of times, and because of the higher speeds, ended up pretty battered and bruised the last couple of rides. Figured I was getting too old for that kind of stuff, hence on to the ebikes. So easy to get home from work and just go out for a quick 15-20km ride out the back of my place. Great exercise and an adrenaline fix in one. Glad your enjoying it so much

I saw that more in Hare Scrambles than Enduro. And even less of it in Vintage racing.
