Have any of you MTBers ridden a legal eMTB?
They are no balls of fire, and are handicapped in climbing by extra weight,
The notion they could cause significant extra damage in comparison to an MTB is hard to take.
All the bikes use the same tyres, and once traction is lost, well, a spinning back wheel is a spinning back wheel.
I did not say it was the bike - I was highlighting that there is a growing group of people that are ripping it up, because they can. Was not talking about sensible MTB or E-MTB use. They are like a ball of fire uphill !!!
Normally I'd never see an e-MTBer again on a trail. This 'bunch' were just ripping it up - we kept catching them. Then they'd take an off piste line to get up/past a difficult section.
It was quite noticeable who these people were.
