>>1560432saving almost 10 minutes on a short climb doesn't sound realistic. more like someone leaving strava on while driving
>>1561403I know that some MTB pros use ebikes because it allows them to get more runs in, but I haven't heard of road pros using e-bikes for training, tho I could see it being really useful if you could peg the e-assist to require the cyclist to be cranking at 200W+ before it kicks in, so that you don't get mogged on a climb while you're trying to keep to a watt target
>>1561522labor charges are always an incentive, parts give you a tidy profit, and being a dick to e-bike customers is a good way to lose business to any of the specialty e-bike shops that are springing up. get with the times or get left behind, grandpa.
