Im a cranky old man.A carmudgeon some might call it. I like cheeseburgers. Chicks in cut offs. Old school rough on the side of a mountain mx tracks. Old dirt bikes that split your ear drums and puff smoke. So when I see a mountain bike with an electric motor that cost as much or more than a full racing 450 its going to take a minute to get on board. Im still wrestling with the idea that i need anything more than a hardtail. I like the simplicity of pulling a bike off the wall after 2 months and its ready to go. This whole E thing adds a new level of complexity
That said, Im sure its a good time riding one,

It seems to help his MX riding skills (balance, grip) and the fresh air does him well.
I would recommend buying something with Shimano or Specialized motor. My friends have had problems with the Bosch.
The Shop
I've only had this a couple of years but when i saw it on my local MTB group for sale, i knew i had to buy it... even got the nod of approval from 'the man' himself when i bumped into him at the airport
As for ebikes... If someone gave me one, I'd use it... But i don't see me buying one anytime soon
Pit Row
We live in an area with LOTS of hills/climbs, but you can also string together quite a bit of relatively flat rides if you want. And if an e-bike lets me spend more time with my wife, it’d be a great investment! Every minute with her from here on out is a gift!
Noticed that you’re in Fayetteville. My grandparents lived in Springdale when I was a kid. My dad was actually born out in Forum (past/above Huntsville) and lived there til he was 14 or so and the family relocated to Washington (temporarily for them, permanently for him!).
Love that area and came really close to going to Arkansas for college.
The new batteries are already lighter and hold 40% more charge.
