wow anyone get many postive comments on there ebike?

Clearly riding an ebike at 15 mph with pedal assist doesn;t use as much energy as doing the same on e 'normal' bike
but so what???
if I go out on my ebike I generally just go faster with the same energy.
Hence I can go further and get to more places - which give me more incentive to go out as there are more route I can do in a reasonable time

If people want to get fit and burn energy then fine - I just want to go out in the fresh air and have an incentive to be active for a few hours a day. I could go for a walk and use the same energy - but I wouldn't go far and couldn;t get to as many places.

Of course I could put the bike (ebike or not) in my petrol powered car and go further - but how is that not cheating?

Not likely to get one myself, but if an ebike gets someone off their arse then I’m all for them!

You`ve hit the nail on the head!
After loads of health issues I was turning into the couch potato and knew I had to get fit again. I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and now on a massive diet and getting out and about again. Already gone from 15 miles to 25 miles every other day, sometimes every day, so for me it`s been a blessing :smile:

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Quite a few people have stoped me and asked about it. Some say they have never seen one up close and personal, others didn't know you could get a folding Ebike, others ask how it works. Others like the look of it and come over to ask the usual questions.

You must be younger than me! I used to say this but I have got to an age when I need that little extra help at times. I have only just got it a few days ago but I have to say what a joy. It has made cycling fun again.
I`ve had mine 2 months and it gets even better! I love mine.
Joy and fun! Exactly

Some. Only had one negative 'cheating' comment, which stopped deadmin its tracks when I pointed out it wasn't even switched on and id still overtaken him on a steep climb.

I stop and chat to other ebike riders and we talk about each others steeds.
I have been asked many times about my ebike many people interested only one has said it's cheating it sounds so stupid cheating on QUOTE="windy7777, post: 6398322, member: 106238"]
