>>1086227>They just don't sell quickly enough for shops to feel comfortable carrying them.But that's wrong, you idiot.
Most of the shops I've been to in the last year have had at least a few electric bikes on the floor. They're Baby Boomer Bait.
Which is fine.
Pedal-assist is an interesting technology with lots of potentially really cool applications for real cyclists who really ride. Just look at how fast motor doping blew up on the racing scene. The extra watts make options available to you that would otherwise not be.
In the not-too-distant future I would love to see a discipline somewhere between technical XC and technical moto trials.
