Eight-time World Champion, seven-time World Cup Champion, and 2016 Olympic XC gold medalist Nino Schurter has partnered with Bosch as an eMTB motor ambassador. The 34-year-old Swiss rider is one of the most successful XC racers in mountain biking history. Now, with some help from a motor, Nino will be able to access remote rides that are typically unrealistic on analog bikes, Bosch says.

bigquotesFor me, an eMTB is the perfect complement to the two-wheeled family. I especially enjoy pushing myself to the limit with the eBike on uphills. The additional power offers exciting possibilities, especially in steep and demanding terrain. I love working with innovative brands so I can bring my experience to the table. As one of the leading eBike drive manufacturers and a strong partner for SCOTT Bikes, Bosch is an ideal partner for me.—Nino Schurter

Nino has been kitted out with a Scott Ransom eRide equipped with a Bosch Performance Line CX motor and a Bosch Kiox on-board computer.

bigquotesBy recruiting Nino Schurter, we have gained an absolutely exceptional athlete as our brand ambassador. He embodies the passion associated with the MTB and eMTB scene. Moreover, he also shares the same values as Bosch eBike Systems: a healthy and sporty lifestyle combined with respectful co-existence with nature, forest and mountains.—Tamara Winograd, Head of Marketing and Communications at Bosch

Nino echoes the idea that eMTB riders can and should be advocates for wild places.

bigquotesThe trails are our playground, but we have to use them with the necessary respect for others, paying particular attention to the natural environment. This holds true whether we're walking or cycling. This ensures that we and the generations to come can continue to enjoy these beautiful places.—Nino Schurter

Nino has always been excellent at going upward. Now, with a hell of a lot of watts, he'll be faster at it than ever.

 Can we get rid of the term analog for normal bikes? It’s bikes and ebikes.

 “Acoustic bikes”

 Or bikes and motor-bikes

 Yes, "ebikes" is confusing. Is an electric Harley an ebike? How about an electric scrambler?

What we have here are Assistance Bikes. They don't replace the rider. They assist the rider.
But that's a bit long. We could call them Assist Bikes...still a bit of a mouthful...

Maybe we just call them AssBikes?
  • 127 30
 I know! We shouldn't be changing the name of the obviously superior and original version (normal bikes), just to put more focus on ebikes. I find the growing popularity of ebikes, unfortunate, but I know I'm probaby going to get a lot of downvotes for that unfortunately.

 It's not like analogue bikes are the original type of bicycle. Surely the two catagories here should be their given names at conception: the "modern safety bicycle" and the "e-bike".

Glad we sorted that out!

I could have just as well used the term "orthodox bikes," not that there is truly a universally right or true form of bicycle nor a protestant revolution of cycling. But kudos to your acct, we all have to have a hobby right? - dual major in physics/biomedicine and engineering consultant who understands how sound works, its terminology, but also enjoys mitch hedberg.

also, using it as an adjective, not a noun as you defined: Acoustic (adjective)
1.
relating to sound or the sense of hearing.
"dogs have a much greater acoustic range than humans"
2.
(of popular music or musical instruments) not having electrical amplification.
"a sad, gentle acoustic ballad"

*for the joke, replace "music and/or musical instruments" with "bicycle"... you can see the humor, in that it is a bicycle without electrical (motor) amplification. "A sad, gentle acoustic bicycle".

I think they should be speccing better components especially considering the extra wear e-bikes put on drivetrains and suspension. If people are willing to keep buying though, the industry will just keep the prices the same or raise them. I know that Trek has taken 2 or 3 price increases recently just because they can.

 The “accessing remote rides” idea falls pretty flat, when a guy like Nino who can ride for hours and hours would cash in his battery in a couple of hours like the rest of us mortals.

As for you complaining about your group being divided it sounds like to me you're dividing yourself.

 @adamdigby: depending on trail can make rides awkward when you're flying and some shit on a motorized bike rolls up behind you on a climb.
  • 8 1
 @atrokz: So it will alter your experience (more so than the norm) because an e-biker might have to wait behind you for a bit before you find a suitable spot to pull over for faster traffic. How is that awkward or any different to when a faster regular bike rider or runner comes up behind you? If your focus is on the trailing person being a "shit" head, I don't see how that has anything to do with them riding an E-bike. Knobs are not exclusive to any single fitness level or form of transport, they're either a knob in the situation or not.
  • 2 6
flag atrokz (Apr 29, 2021 at 9:59) (Below Threshold)
 @adamdigby: in case you missed the memo, it's harder and more physically exhausting to actually pedal up under your own power. It's easier to stop when you're on a motor assisted form of transport and that should be reflected in the etiquette provided to others you're sharing the trail with. Traffic flow matters on roadways. Why wouldn't it on a trail, and if there is a differential between a motor assisted bike and normal bikes, going up hill, then there's potential for more altercations where those intersect. If you think I'm stopping a technical climb because some dude on a motorized bike is quicker, you're a shit. That simple.
  • 1 4
 So again, since words are hard for people, it depends on the trail. Nobody cares when its a fire road. Or wider climb. But depending on situation and trail, it would be pretty shitty to try and push people off of climbs because you're on a motor. If you're actually able to pass people climbing good on ya, if you're just using power assist and push riders struggling off you're another kind of shitty human.
  • 6 0
 @atrokz: I ride both and would agree. I actually find myself being more cordial when on the emtb. Giving the downhill rider right of way, Try to make sure uphill riders hear you with plenty of distance and pass when clear, Generally try to share the trails without being a D*#K.
  • 3 0
 @psullivan65: happy to share the trails with you my man. Exactly. Share. Be nice. Be cognizant of others. Easy.
  • 3 1
 @atrokz: The point you seem to have missed that @adamdigby was making is that it is no different than when a more fit/ faster climber on a regular bike is behind you and wants to pass on the climb (which happens to all of us except maybe Nino...). Being a "shit head" is purely down to the person, not the type of bike you are riding. If you aren't letting the faster climber pass you at the next opportune moment regardless of the bike, then you are the shit head. That's the bike equivalent to hogging the fast lane on a highway when someone behind clearly wants to pass. Move to the right lane when clear and let them by... Etiquette is important no matter what kind of bike or vehicle you are on/in.
  • 2 0
 Before i had my emtb and after i bought one , almost exactly 90% of the time i give way to the other rider whether im going up or down because its not hard. Ive noticed that percemtage has decreased this spring , because of busy trails and limited options without snow atm. Good chance the percentage will be over 90% by years end. I guess it helps to plan my route on the day/weekend or conditions to avoid too much crowding ,but still its not hard. If i catch someone on a climb i usually just hang back a bit and then if i see them looking around i just say "no rush, ill get by whenever its convenient". Pass abd "thanks, have a good ride". Really , whats the problem?. If im on my enduro bike i pull over when i get the chance. I especially like to pull over to let people have a clean downhill. Say hi. Thats how it used to be when few people mt biked and it was always a pleasant surprise to see a fellow mtber. We should try and keep it that way
  • 2 0
 @leon-forfar: no. It's one thing to have the wattage to catch riders. It's another to use a motor to move people out of your way. Nobody is going to move out of the way on a climb for a motorbike so why an ebike. Technical climbs require a modicum of momentum so forcing someone to stop because you have a motor is privilaged shithead of epic proportions.
  • 1 0
 @leon-forfar: climbs on east coast can blow. Like I said if its wide enough or long enough etc then it's a situation thing. But if it's some shitty rooty climb like in Quebec and now some guy wants to pass due to a motor, well that's just crappy. Thats my point.
  • 2 1
 @atrokz: But the point being made was that you should let them pass where it is possible/ easy to pull over, regardless of whether it's for an e bike or a faster climber. The person behind them should also be patient until that's possible. It's easy enough to go "regular" speed on an E bike and not pressure the climber ahead of you. Again, it's the person, not the type of bike, that can be the a*shole.
  • 1 0
 @leon-forfar: yea that pertains to what I'm saying, that it's situational. One place it's nbd, another might have some trails that don't really allow passing. One just has more responsibility as a trail user imo, due to a motor.
  • 2 1
 @atrokz: You seem to have missed the part of my message that said "suitable spot to pull over," meaning a spot that isn't an inconvenience to you and your ability to resume the climb. Not giving way to a faster trail user is poor etiquette, as is riding up close behind a slower trail user and/or forcing a pass. This consideration holds true regardless of the trail user's mode of transportation, it would be a "shithead" move to not give way at the next best opportunity.

Suspension to allow you hit bigger jumps - cheating, carbon to reduce weight - cheating, 500% rear cassettes to let you pedal up that hill you couldn't before - cheating.

 I’m taking this slightly out of context but. I predict “Analog” will be the new pejoritave term that e-bikers will use to slight non e-bikers. Its a subtle jab. Or anyway, non-bikers will feel slightes by it. It would be like if a Tesla owner referred to you gas powered car as “your gas powered car” instead of just “your car” or “your nissan”. The only reason to make reference to the type of engine is for judgemental reasons. Not for the purpose of clarifying the type of vehicle. Thats why the term analog might be an issue.

 actually motocross has been measured as one of the hardest sports in the world, the top guys are very strong but they need cardio, the problem with training on a regular bike is to get that cardio they also have to use a lot of strength to go hard, an e-bike provides better cardio and less strength so it gives them what they need without taking more strength which is better put into doing the sport they are racing in. And on your gym analogy, unless your doing your weights with the whole stack, then you are not working out, instead of assistance, you choose the weight you need as a starting point and slowly build or add more for the workout you are doing, excatly like and e-bike. You need to know training, to figure this out.

 What was the reason adding the kickstand aside from it's actually purpose of holding the bike up?

It adds weight. Back in the day it was dangerous to have on a MTB bike and it's unaccepted in the MTB and road cycling (those of us who take it Serious than the average biker that is)

Of course you can take it off if you buy it but then it just becomes waste where people will just throw away.

This is the Ransom not a commuter bike.

Maybe I'm wrong and Scott is seeing that urban commuters are buying this bike? I'm just baffled.
