Video: Joel Anderson Hits a Field Full of Big Jumps on his eMTB
He has to pedal to get assist. There is no throttle. Also the assist cuts off after a certain speed. There's no benefit to an e bike on a jump track other than you can get back up to the top and do it again.

Video: Joel Anderson Hits a Field Full of Big Jumps on his eMTB
Sick riding! The only part of the video that the electric motor is even working is when he's pedaling into the line. It's a standard bike once he's hitting the jumps. The bonus is that he can rip back up to the top and do it again. All the haters in the comments make it obvious they don't know shit about e-bikes. They'll also passive-aggressively express their opinions with negative props because "ebikes bad"

Last Day Randoms - Eurobike 2013
Why is it that half the bikes there look like they were assembled by Wal-Mart employees? I was surprised I didn't see any backward forks....
