@onemanarmy: yeah if you carry any pace 15.5 is a frustrating cut off. I feel if it just went 2-3mph more I would be at an acceptable trail speed. I can pedal through but i would prefer the support a little higher.

@markg1150:
My descent times don’t seem to have suffered for running an ebike. Still around my the same as my dh times and I’m reasonably fast.

I think you might have misunderstood how they work. The bikes are still perfectly capable of going faster than 25kmph. The motor just won’t provide any assistance after this. You can still pedal as fast as you like or in the case of dh roll as fast as you like

Results: Slopestyle - Crankworx Rotorua 2020
I’ve not really watched any slope style for a couple of years and now I look at the results and only recognise about three names!! Things move on so quickly.

EWS Updates Rulebook & Lays Out EWS-E Format
@TreyDownhill: I think we are at a point in the U.K. where they are pretty well accepted. Regularly see plenty on the trails and broadly speaking everyone is friendly and interested. I’ve never encountered any animosity on the trails only ever on social media.
Basically they are great fun and however you perceive it a form of exercise. I predict this next decade will be one of e bike love (until the next new thing comes along)
