I got an electric mountain bike and it took nearly a year to assemble cuz I picked a horrible bike shop and I still haven't actually ridden it, but my parents have it at their house. I live in the city and don't trust keeping it here with black people.
>>2864696 I like my trek marlin a lot. I wasn’t really out of shape and I can’t see why people need so much torque on the nicer end mountain bikes unless they are obese slobs
Got it yesterday, took it out today and it was really fun to ride. It felt so nice being able to bike in the wind and up hills without feeling like I needed to break too much of a sweat. Made it much easier to enjoy and appreciate the outdoors
>>2864696 what even is the point of an e-bike? is it way faster than a regular bike? bikes are already insane in terms of energy efficiency you bought it for speed, right?
>>2864696 I thought about getting one to shuttle myself between trail heads via bike + car. doing out and backs got old, and if i use my regular bike I'd just wear myself out before the backpacking starts.
