>>1976416>A quick search on amazon brought up this, that's about around the same price as a normal bike.wow a shitty amazon bike
yeah i guess sure but its not gonna be any better on the flat than a bicycle that costs a tenner lol
>I don't understand what /n/ thinks people do with ebikes. deliveroo apparently thats the only time i rly see them desu
>LOL what? are you doing cross country?no just trying to get places
i have to deal with 25% grades and lots of wind every time i ride
i only wish iim on an ebike when im going uphill but i have the gearing for it so its easy just slow
on the flat i pass ebikes unless ive got my panniers and jacket on or theyre a big powerful mtb or aeroy gravel meme thingy
>Oh no the battery died, welp guess I can just pedal now.not on that bike, you need a better one than that to not have motor drag when the batteries dead
plus enjoy that weight and pitiful gearing with no power
those tyres are probably awful too but thats the case even on more expensive bikes
>No one is in a fucking race you absolute retarded ESL.no and neither am i, speed and efficiency are two sides of the same coin
when i talk about speed and passing people im talking about airspeed, i could slow down to their speed and be putting in about the same amount of effort unless theyre aerofagging too
if your gonna get an ebike spend the money for one thats not shit, build a kit desu fuck prebuilts, and fuck buying any bikes brand new in this market
and use it to carry some cargo or something at least, its just a waste to have a big pile of future ewaste in your bike that you arent really using
>>1976443yeah desu idk why i said that, i wish i could ride a motorcycle but ofc them being treated like cars but worse makes them impractical as every day transport
at least ebikes get you like 5% of a motorcycle without all the bureaucracy i guess
and not being able to take it on a train
>>1976457i saw a guy today getting hektic on a surron lol
looks like fun
