Some thoughts after owning my first eBike 4 months later.

I'll keep this brief. I'm out about 3- 4 times per week and riding trails I used to hammer a decade or more ago.

I'm riding up technical trails as much as the downs. I'm smiling like a lunatic every time I head out.

At first the cost was like W T F! But honestly its worth very $.

I'm riding more, further and exploring new trails. If you are sitting on the fence with regards to Ebiking or not.

DO IT.

Agree! In my case, I probably wouldnt have even gotten into mtb’s if not for E-bikes.

I just started basic trail riding this year and my e-mtb allowed me to focus on learning without getting exhausted. I’ve gained balance skills that I couldnt even imagine 6 months ago.

Unlike most people’s mtb journey, I only got an analog bike after my emtb mainly to improve my fitness level on shorter rides.

One major issue I have if I'm being honest is pinch flats. Ive killed two tyres in the 4 months. Time to get some inserts. I guess a 25KG bike that hits rock gardens at full speed is always going to be an issue.
