Video: Wyn Masters Gets Loose with his eMTB on Frozen UK Trails

 totally! why would you want to ride that trail 10 times on a eeb when you could just ride it a few times on a cool bike.

 @slayerdegnar: you would have to walk up the hill with a normal bike, I’d way rather pedal up do 10 laps and have a better ride

 I ride bikes because it is fun. Ebikes makes it even more fun.

 @wynmasters: Please don’t take my comment as anti-eBike. I’m just trying to justify the added weight to fun ratio. I’m supposed be in the ideal eBike demographic. 50 + yrs old, I like beer, carrying a few extra pounds, and have teenage kids w/ the lungs of cheetahs. I’ve worked really hard to get my AM bike down to 13 kgs. I don’t session any more and enjoy trail loops w/ ups & downs. Why would I want to pedal an extra 7+ kilos around with me all ride long? I get that the eBike gives you pedal assist, but you still have to manhandle 20 kgs for the entire ride.

By the way Wyn, you made my day responding to my comment. Your an absolute Legend.

Happy Family Day to my fellow Canadian PBer’s!

 My daughter just read my comment to Wyn and corrected me on my grammar.
It should read:
You’re an absolute Legend.
Thanks baby Girl.

 @miller22: I understand you thoughts, personally some trail situations I like the extra weight and stability it gives, but for your style of riding it sounds like you got your bike dialed in, if i wanted to do a long ride I'd take my Force or Zaskar which I still do also, I guess one can never have too many bikes especially with so many styles of riding, I even enjoy the road bike sometimes just to mix things up.

If i was to have only one would be an enduro bike as can do the widest range of riding on that.

Cheers man, keep on ripping!

 They have taken mine for the last 2 years and will for the foreseeable future!!

 Nah, regular bike. But Wyn still rocks.

 Correct me if I'm wrong but Wynyard lives full time in GB (or northern europe somewhere).

 Yeah I’m based here as my wife’s job moved here from Germany, but trust me I’ll be back to NZ for next winter/nz summer

 @Trudeez: was living in Germany and now in Uk

 @wynmasters: sounds like she's well worth it! good on ya

 @trippleacht: she's austrian!

 @Waldon83: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna,_Virginia who knew Austria s capital is located in Virginia ...what a weird wolrd ..... sure is flat

 To be honest its been an averagely average summer here. Few 30+ degree scorchers but a lot of rain, hail and even snow on some skifields. Hardout eh!

 @wynmasters: So sorry to hear that mate. Massive sacrifice you've made there as it's a shithole here. Unlucky.

 @markcorrigan: it is what you make it is how im approaching it and so far i've been enjoying it!

 Agreed. Fastest conditions after the leaves drop in the Midwest.

 Where are these trails? QECP?

 @JonnyTheWeasel: just south of QECP near Clanfield

 @bigbobjoylove: ah ok.... cheers

 @Santacruzdan: I do know...but thanks.

 It sure is that’s why I and most riders do ride MX also but Ebike is actually the most similar to DH and provides a shuttle back up too

 Winter riding gloves were necessary

 Watched it yesterday ...

 @chriskneeland: No it hasn't appeared, have to access it through youtube.

 @chriskneeland: hope so.

 @chriskneeland: As I have an e-bike myself I am not going to complain! Plenty of space for us all and I still go riding with friends on acoustics, just turn the power down so I get enough assistance for my ruined knee to still be able to ride the trails.....don't enjoy road cycling so it's emtb or look for another hobby.

 @chriskneeland: popcorn ready

 @McFuntish: I'm 62 with arthritic knee's, Dr says I have the knee's of a 90 year old man. I can't afford an E-Bike, well I can If I wanna go into debt, I don't. I'm also pretty beat up in other parts too, to many Moto accident's left me with back and shoulder issue's. An E-Bike would probably help with my knee's but not the rest of my broken down carcass. I just ride hard enough to have fun and not make everything hurt, if that means avoid certain hills and/or DH's then so be it, my philosophy is to "ride to ride another day".

 @UncleGrandpa62: Like I said earlier plenty of room for us all out on the hills, doesn't matter how you get there so long as you enjoy and respect it on the way!
