For all those saying these don’t get you fit or means you put in less effort you’re talking out of your rears.
These are assisting and how much assist you require or use is up to you. You can still go just as hard as on a non e bike and all that will happen is you’ll ride most of the time with no assistance as it kicks out at 15.5mph anyway due to uk law and even up to that your effort will just be matched by the motor so you’ll go faster for the same effort level.
The main benefit for me is means I can get up a steep hill quicker and without dying then enjoy the downhill runs without hanging…
These are also superb for physio / recovering from injury. Or alternatively for unfit or older generations wanting to get fitter and enabling them to be assisted when necessary and can dial it down as they get fitter or dial it up as they get more tired or the terrain steepens.
So many people don’t understand also how even if you’re supremely fit like me it’s still just an awesome experience to have one and do things you can’t do on a normal mtb especially uphill. My ftp is just over 300w yet I still love my e-bike more than any other as it’s just pure fun.
Try one and see what you’re missing. If you haven’t ridden one you can’t and shouldn’t judge. They’re awesome
