    Trying to get away from dongles....batteries

    Now there's a question. Computer dongles were first I think. Was it Martin that first called the gadget dongle I wonder?

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    and long may it continue. age is but a number. I had a quick spin last night on my weedy hub-gear restricted classic bosch, smashed a load of KOM's by a considerable margin. I can only imagine the speed that some of these powerful bikes can get you up the hills. and to those who keep telling...

    I had a Bobcat for a short while, similar engine to the Fantic.

    I can't help but be reminded of the Vicar in Hayley Mills Pollyanna film before She had a word with him. Trying to get the video to start at 32 mins.

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    Like comparing apples and oranges. .. It wouldn't be so bad if you just stuck to the real reason for disliking a rival retailer. Instead of going round the houses trying to justify your stance, when all you need to say is that you dislike them because they could lead to a loss of sales for your...

    Utter claptrap. Lots of people drive their track day vehicles to and from the circuit.

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    You need to visit as many trail centres as possible and ride a load of sportives, I'm sure you'd get loads of complementary comments about your bike.

    Amusing, sadly not very positive in the vein of the thread starter Martin, remember him?

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    Perhaps, if I was actually serious. Even those most level headed among us have a limit to the number of times this comes up. Yes I don't have to read it. Think of my suggestion as a way to stop it all once and for all. Constructive in my book. :p :)

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    They just need to crop them, but they can't be bothered. I know that at least 50 riders rides have already been flagged before, but they've given up bothering now.

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    Talking of moaning sour minded trail centre riders moaning about e-bikes on their trails. it seems some of them aren't that intelligent, 50 of these visitors to Gisburn forest think it okay to leave their Strava running whilst driving home, pinching 50 top places on this segment...

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    It's very simple Phil, sales and money. Only Kudus Dave will openly admit to the real reason for threads that end like this. Those kicking up a fuss aren't competing with these kits, and not many are put into MTB's that then go tearing round trail centres or off road sportives. So they're not...

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    I'm not an MTB'er really, however these threads make me feel like getting a fast and powerful one and going to as many MTB events to smash all the circuit times. That should help speed up what seems inevitable according to some. Then perhaps these sorts of threads would cease. ...

    Oxydrive ride recorded on Strava.

    As long as you list them as e-bike ride there will be no issue. They'll remain separate.
