Question for the bored

[PurpleThrobber]

Considering getting e-bikes for the Throbber and v2.0.

Any recommendations or advice? Throbber is about a foot taller than Demond and the wife is about 5-3’ish.

So you're 6' 2"?

E-bikes are gay as fuck. You’re welcome.

You jerk back and forth and go nowhere.

All I know about ebikes really is my uncle got one and crashed it into an active garage sale in Woolley.

 

[ukdawg]

I rented them once. They are cool and the assist makes shit super easy.

You can't leave that shit anywhere or it will be stolen though, that is why I wouldn't get one. Even if you lock it the battery will be stolen.

I live a mile from the Deschutes NF and am 10 mins pedaling from hundreds of miles of epic single track.

I don’t care if some milf wants to take her kids to school on a RAD e-bike or some oldes put around town on them.

But fuck these fatties on there e-mt bikes fucking up the flow of the single track trails. Pedal your bike and get some exercise or stay home.

Also we have a huge problem down here with dumb ass 12 and 13 years old racing around on e-bikes that are basically motorcycles. The law is 16 and over but their bozo parents don’t care.

Not fat. Never have been.

Just don’t see the need to rely on 1800s technology.

Not you throbber. The person yella was describing that needs to get on a real bike and not an ebike. Like nachos fat ass.

I ride a xl sized full suspension carbon fiber mt bike. Very much 21st century technology.

That’s nice. But it doesn’t answer the original question posed.

If I was in the market for a xl suspension carbon fiber mountain bike, you’ll be the first guy I’d call.

But I’m not.

You can not walk or run for a mile, around my house, without being accosted by at least a dozen eBikes or scooters. Nine of ten are breaking the law. Age, helmlet, speed on sidewalks, etc. I kind of get it but once I confronted a dad and son that there was a bike lane inches away and he said it was too dangerous for his son. I asked him endangering strangers was better in what respect?

Get yourself a Mongoose or a Diamond Back or Redline all with some Torker forks and you will be the coolest kid in town!

I don't mean to pick on @PurpleThrobber 's e-bike ambitions here and I'm sure his use case doesn't conflict with any of my e-bile grievances.

However, I still hate the fuck out of them due to aforementioned reasons.

They aren't legal yet on our single track trails in the National Forest but I suspect Big E-Bike and the out of shape fatties will win that battle.

Hang out around the places old fucks (like me) live, they drop like flies and the young heirs sell barely used e-bikes for cheap. Wait for the one you want to show up - trust me it will eventually show up

Seattle based company and what all the MILFs around here ride. Although I was just reading they have had to declare bankruptcy and the company is being bought.
