This thread has got me searching for an Ebike again.
While I love trail biking,, the restrictions that have happened over the years have made owning one almost redundant.
The area I live offers so many Public footpaths and bridleways that can be accessed by bike an Ebike makes sense.
The keep fit aspect attracts too, they still need pedalling.

dont aggree at all on this point

i honestly think gb has some spectacular riding if you take the time to get the info and plan it ..i realy love our county and countryside ..there is hundreds of miles of spectacular routes al over the place ..you just have to be prepared to travel a little and enjoy it ..take a couple of nights away or more but the rewards are out there for anyone who wants them ..for me its not al about the trails it travelling the smaler backroads and exploring the national parks ..dipping on and off road ..thats why i wont buy a enduro or a orange coolaide machine .as i want to travel

i am not overstepping the mark or exsagerating to say i have enough routes in gb that i could pack the bike up and dissapear for 4 weeks or more on what i have mapped and as you can see there is a huge void down in the central south eastern parts ive never go around to and shit loads more in devon and cornwall i know little about ..north wales has enough on its own for a solid weeks riding ???

keep well merry easter

G'day Minky got a good three days of riding in east Anglia also probably more. Its not got hills but we have got sand and mud for sure.

Assisted up to 15 mph is plenty fast enough. I wouldn't mess about with mine.
Like Minky says, range would suffer, so would wear and tear....brakes, cassette and chain.
Fastest I've done on mine is 37mph, down a big hill on tarmac......not pleasant!
Fit, good cyclists on road bikes will leave you behind if you're on a mountain ebike on the flat or down hill, but up hill you'll catch them up.

I don't get it! So I am out walking with my family minding my own business, got the dogs with me as well, I hear a motorbike coming so gather them up and stand to one side. The rider passes with a wave and we walk on. Next day walking down the same track and without any warning a f'in E bike comes round the corner at 20 plus and piles into us? The world as truly gone mad! These e bikes will be banned within 5 years then what you going to do get a horse

you are a miserable t**T at times captain ..such a joy ..always on the bright side

my ebike has yet to take a shit on the footpath or kill a sheep ..and all children should be shot

What a complete and utter tosser you must be. You wonder why the general public hate you. What a fucking thing to say. Personally I could not give two fucks what happens on the trail's and foot path of the uk, I have never had a problem on them. My post was just an example of what will happen.

Seriously Captain that's bang out of order. If you don't care about trail riding in the uk (or any other country) I'd suggest you leave your comments in your head.

Old school for me - I’m still young/fit enough not to need assistance

Ahh, but you could go further and longer on an ebike MTB

Lots of young guys are using them now.............to go further in less time

I'm still fit enough not to need electric help and ride 40 to 50miles off road every Sunday, it's mighty hard at times but satisfaction guaranteed

Motorcycles are too restricted now on where they can travel offroad in UK

No energy is expended, riding a motorcycle
