No Derailleur, No Cassette: Gobao's New 1500W Motor Eliminates Traditional Shifting

@mikekazimer: this guy is being a dick, but I just want to point out that class one and class 3 e bikes are more similar than class one e-bikes and mountain bikes. Yet you don't cover them here. I understand that there are relationships between industry magazines and industry manufacturers, and I'm sure some of the ebike coverage is done to maintain healthy ties there, but I do agree with this guy's take that a separate magazine directed towards e-bikes would be welcome by many readers. I didn't know about the ability to filter them out, which may be what I need to do. Some prideful part of me still feels like they should be somewhere else, but that's probably not a healthy impulse to indulge. I'll start filtering, but regardless, I stand by suggestion of an ebike specific publication!

Geeze, 3 e bike articles in a row today. Someone needs to start an ebikin mag. I'm tired of having this shit shoved down my throat.

Quiz: Can You Spot the Motor? Guess the MTB From the Silhouette Alone

@m-i-l-e-s: yeah, that's fair, but there should be a separate media outlet for people who prefer those different strokes, the same way there are road biking and gravel biking media outlets.

Pinkbike Poll: What Do / Would You Use An eMTB For?

This is maybe pedantic, but it's a hill I'm willing to die on. There are bikes, and there are e bikes. The ones without a motor don't need a qualifier.

Pinkbike Poll: What Do / Would You Use An eMTB For?

E-bikes are fine, but my bike doesn't need a qualifier. There are bikes that you pedal which are called bikes, and there are e-bikes.
