....But an e-bike .... An e-bike .... an e-bike ..... [/QUOTE]

I recommend including pedal-assist nomenclature each & every time one refers to 'e-bike' - IMHO it tends to reduce (but certainly not eliminate) the instinctive opposition to pure 'throttle-type' e-bikes


[/QUOTE]When I pull the trigger for an e-bike I won't worry what anyone else thinks or says. I'll still be pedaling and enjoying the great outdoors, that's all that matters.[/QUOTE]

and, 350 says... That is fantastic... BUT, wait a minute... There "are different types of pedal assists", & or pedallecs… There are crank pressure sensors, and there are crank rotation sensors... a TOTALLY different way of applying/measuring, said E-assistance to be applied... Sorry, but I have been riding a "true" E-Assist bike for the last 6 years or so and know the difference... and.. there IS a difference...

EDIT; There are/seems to be a LOT of people on here, that have never actually ridden an E-Bike Let alone owned one. With a lot of opinion's... OK, sometimes I might sound like I am talking with a 1/2 brick missing, OK maybe even a full brick missing from my load & I often think outside the box... But, at least I do have some real life experience with an E-Assist bike (6+ years, over a 11,000 Km or riding one, a pressure censored one in the axel), compared with almost 30,000KM of riding a "normal" bicycle... I think I do know a bit about the +'s and -'s of each... Even thou, it is still just my opinion that I am spouting, Just like everyone else on here...
