interesting build... I'm sure it could be useful for something, besides mountain biking... really though, beside the over built monster truck look. I see the wheel base as the biggest issue. It's just like me trying to off road with my Caddi Escalade ESV.. sure, it's got a 6.2L engine, all time 4x4 and boat load of horse power BUT, it's a long vehicle not well suited for off road. I'll bottom out too frequently and it's just a big vehicle in general. just like that monstrosity.

Don't you need to be around 102 years old to remember how best to handle a world wide pandemic -- IMO, these so called experts in the bike industry are just winging it. They have no idea how this is all going to play out. As far as trails around here. oooof!!! Ok, First few weeks of lock-down, the trails around here in northern VA we packed. That has settled down for whatever reason but, still foot traffic is a tad heavier than pre-Convid. I have seen more activity with the bicycle dot.orgs out there "grooming" new trails. For me, sorry, I have to roll my eyes and just look the other way.. So far, all I have seen are groups putting far too much work into trail building because they are taking the fun out of mountain biking by over-grooming the shizix of what was a good natural trail. Seriously, you might as well go in there with a paver. I appreciate the hard work they put in but, the stuff they're building is like riding on city side walk. aka boring. That has been going on for a while now, not just during these Convid times. There's several park systems in the area that have basically been flattened out and over groomed. Kinda wish they'd just leave em oh de natural

A few biker buds of mine bought some really nice Ebikes ---I wont go into what brand... One of them doesn't ride regular bikes at all now -- he put on a lot of weight... and it's a noticeable amount. the others can't keep up with me when they're not riding their Ebike. ....... just an observation.
