Opinion: The Fight for the Future of Our Mountains

Pinkbike doesn't publish true long form articles very often, which is perhaps a bit unfortunate. Attitudes like this probably don't help.

@sadfusde: yeah I'm willing to agree it's situational, sure. I can certainly get that pump/pushing through rollers and stuff on fast chill trails is quicker than the eeb

Wrong kind of French. These guys will stuff it with tourtiere, Pate Chinois smothered with ketchup, and cigarettes.

@Emailsucks98: The motors, at least the full-sized ones, absolutely add benefit on downhill, it just legitimately is different than riding a regular MTB and as @twonsarelli said that's OK. It's hard to optimize riding an ebike like an ebike because most of us don't do it and haven't built habits or trained to make them work. Specifically, the motors do two things that benefit the downhill: 1. in conjunction with the battery add significant weight making even budget suspension work much better; and 2. let you descend in a high torque mode and push out of the corners or other slow sections like crazy. Point 2 is where I believe there is serious room for faster e-bike descending, and also where our normal-MTB brains aren't wired to make work.
