don't sweat it. toshi's obsession with metrics is how he makes up for his lack of speed (as demonstrated by his continued use of shimano brakes and claims of not having issues with them) and helps him justify his ebike (to him at least)

Come out and ride here. I'm 99% certain I'm faster than you descending, free of e-influence.
Ya, but did he let you by?
I really can't believe people do the "tire buzzing" that's effed up. What? We can't use our voice anymore?
Buzz me once, sure. I'm sure it was an "accident". Buzz me twice and that's grounds for mini pump in the front wheel! The Sylentk's don't messabout! What happened to Trail Etiquette? Jeebus...
If you're on an eeb, chill the eff out. Real people on real bikes are trying to work here. I totally respect that. I used to be one of those. I'm just trying to have fun and get in a bit of a work out. Speaking as an eeb rider (and still ride the regular bike). I assume these douche bags are new to the sport? And have no trail etiquette?
Oh did I ever tell you the time I got passed by a super fit XC dude on a steep ass climb, and I was on my eeb, he was not? I was like go bro! No tire buzzing necessary. Because Trail Etiquette. Pass it on.

oh so you can actually get fast enough on a descent that the motor won't kick in?Come out and ride here. I'm 99% certain I'm faster than you descending, free of e-influence.
I'm sure Toshi is capable. Not that I've ever ridden with him. @Toshi when you coming up to NOCO to ride with me?
Speaking from experience, if the motor is cutting out. You are going fast enough. And maybe you should chill out especially if there are blind corners involved. This is mostly on a particular set of trails that are flat-ish. Not pure DH. As you don't really need to pedal that much on those DH ish trails. More the flat ish.
Just saying.
never said he wasn't capable. I just think he's over confident on his assumption. I've seen his gopro videos.
that's why I gave you a 1% likelihoodnever said he wasn't capable. I just think he's over confident on his assumption. I've seen his gopro videos.
based on your videos, you have a very high degree of confidence in riding flow trails
That's called "video stabilization," my bro-tato
My usual haunt is far, far from a flow trail
Experience of EU 15mph limit.
Or US 20mph limit?
The the 15mph limit here is annoying as hell as you constantly yoyo in and out of assistance. Derestricting to only 5mph faster (ie US spec) pretty much solves it off road.
28 would be a far better and safer limit for road going Ebikes.
man i was giving toshi a lot more credit, i thought it was 25mph in the US
OK, Agent Smith, I can see it now...Maybe we all are. How would we know
Makes you think, eh?
if i'm a cyborg i demand some upgrades. pretty sure i have some faulty modules.Maybe we all are. How would we know
Makes you think, eh?
That might help a bit, but I don't think it gets to the heart of the debate, which is that a bike with a motor isn't a bicycle to all but those trying to rationalize it as such.
And, yeah, some of the trails around here are on shaky ground, access-wise.
Yeah, I forgot about that. 15mph would kinda be less fun.
There are ways to cheat that. But I don't really need to. But I did buy the magnets for it
Make it happen!Come out and ride here. I'm 99% certain I'm faster than you descending, free of e-influence.
beer laps.grudge races are so hot right now.
I'll bring beer.
I remember the first few trails we took Stoney on when he came to CO. One ride with Full Trucker and me, he cooked his brakes. Another he was blown away that we were on a legal trail. For all the crap we deal with on the front range we do have it good. Not the best, but definitely not the worst.
Good trails and riding buddies is what's right with mtn biking.
What motor's firmware is still so dumb you can fool the speed sensor with another magnet?I did buy the magnets for it
Mine's done using a 3rd party app.
I'll bring moar beer.

In Québec, I suggest you try screaming "TRACK TRACK TRACK TABARNAK!!!"
It shouldn't be necessary, I agree...but it's highly likely to work out .

Surely the brains would keep a record or the max RPM the motor has done?
A buddy of mine had a 2KW 2WD Kona Unit a good few years back, he loved it, the thing did 45M/h.

If there is a sheriff or cop in your area giving tickets on a Mountain they don't own or on the city street, they obviously have too much time on their hands.
Ever ridden up to the west of San Jose?
