Another test photo to see if I got it rotated correctly. I think I have it figured out. This is the last test, I promise.

As an additional note. In Park City, Utah it is not illegal to ride an E bike on mountain bike trails but The Mountain Trails Foundation, which has developed several hundred miles of single track trails in Park City, has requested E bikes stay off the trails.
I provided PLENTY of facts and hot-linked the sources.If you want to make statements about how bad eMTB are, then please present some facts or sources.
I'd like to see some hard data on the statement that "E-bikes travel faster" when you're discussing off-road use. From what I've seen of downhill bicycle runs, nothing could move faster - they're already at the limits imposed by Newtonian physics and the repair capabilities of the health care system.E-bikes travel faster and in many places can't stay on the trail. The trails get wider and some places have major cuts - which can only be made by an e-bike.
I've seen no data that demonstrates that E-bikes create more trail damage than pedal bikes. Have any tests been done? I'm also unsure of the statement that "E-bikes have a lot more torque". More time-sustainable torque, yes. But more intensity to the point of trail damage? I think we're seeing opinions here, not facts. I'd like to see some evidence.E-bikes also have a lot more torque and will erode the trails faster. I think they are great, but should only be allowed on motorcycle/jeep trails.

Bingo.Just this past summer in Moab I see a lot more trail damage made from very fat tires. Cryptobiotic soil gets scars that remain visible for 30 years. Moab now views e-bikes same as motorcycles. They are allowed where motorcycles are allowed.
I also do some trail motorcycle riding. Uphill trails have major groves due to to rear wheel torque. E-bikes don't have as much torque, but still they have significantly more torque than what's produced from pedals. Electric motor torque at stall is extremely high.
Why restrict the comparison? Damage is damage.I'm not talking about downhill biking, but cross country biking.
Amazing. Them Russians are smart, sometimes.Obviously not electric, two wheel drive, but the most capable bike I have seeing in the mud and the foot print is a gentle as the leaves falling..
Video Very Russian

New, liberatingEquating E-bikes to motorcycles is a false comparison that will unfairly and unnecessarily restrict the use of this new and liberating technology.
Battery production..New, liberating

Oh to be free of fossil fuels, google “lithium mine images” and think about land reclamation opportunities
But impractical until now.New, liberating

I hear you on the battery issue. Unfortunately also true for nearly any electronic device these days.Oh to be free of fossil fuels, google “lithium mine images” and think about land reclamation opportunities
