 @rnayel: Thanks for sharing. Outstanding summary of the concerns of eBikes. If PInkbike wants to advertise eBikes on this site I'm taking my eyes and time elsewhere.

 @scary1 damn it....don't talk about it and just hope it goes away and dies quietly in a corner. Ebikes are like that annoying coworker that always wants attention, if you ignore them they eventually go away and you can get back to normal. In our case complaining about all the new standards, wheel/tire size, press fit creaking and the pros and cons of neon colored anything.

 the narrow-mindedness around e-bikes is shocking, as long as someone is having fun and not affecting any other bikers or hikers experience who gives a sh**

 I love that there are people who love mountain bikes and love motocross bikes, but hate ebikes. How do you people live with yourselves? It must feel awful crowded up there.

 @d3ftone: My only issue with ebikes is the land access issue it creates. Many trails are constantly under battle with people trying to find a reason to ban mtb's completely. An ebike is technically a motor vehicle in the most jurisdictions in the US. Therefore cannot be ridden on non-motorized trails. I could care less if ebike sales rocket up %500. I just don't want to lose anymore access to trails. I don't want the f*ckwits with the Sierra Club slandering some trail meeting, propagating some bs about "All mtbs have a motor now we need to remove them from these lands...etc"or"With so many bikes with 'motors' we can't tell the difference of which one has what. We just need to remove them all from our trail systems".

Now, they run the places and dictate the terms of how the places run.
The stuffs going nowhere. We'll be fighting them until we cant tell what bike has a battery or not. Then, its over.

 @bnode: but it's OK to out climb you on a lighter bike or if they are genetically superior? I'd give out knuckle sandwiches to all dirt roadies and all rich c*nts on carbon bikes over some newb who doesn't understand trail etiquette on an ebike.

 I have recently demoed the Pivot Switchblade, Pivot Firebird and Pivot Mach 5.5 through the guys at Trail Bicycles in Courtenay. These are absolutely amazing bikes! My main issue is in deciding which one to purchase first - likely the Switchblade, as it matches up so nicely to all the trails in Cumberland. I love the Mach 5.5 - the combination of modern geometry, 2.6 rubber and a 160 mm Fox fork makes it a potent machine, able to attack almost anything. They are all amazing climbers, the Firebird not too far behind the Switchblade and Mach 5.5.

 This is the best looking Pivot to date IMO. 10 / 10 , would shred.

 this bike retails for $8100, not 10k. not far off but it is still out of my range. guess i will have to stick with my stock Mach 6 Carbon a lil while longer...maybe slap a custom paint job on it, not that matte black seems to be a thing of the past. but Pivot definitely makes top notch bikes!

 Bikes are really in a state of convergent evolution right now. Looks so much like the Rocky Mountain Slayer, but retains the traits that make it a Pivot at the same time. Just like how sharks and dolphins/killer whales are a lot the same, but really different when you start looking at the organs.

 Does it have a motor? I am personally not going to buy any brands that make e-mopeds.
Unless they are made in a shed.

 Look at the lower/main pivot. Just imagine how much stiffer it could be if it was 1X specific.
