Two more days to enter the Secret Santa!
Entries must be in by midnight on November 29th. We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
That wasn't directed to you, but to the products you highlighted. But you are right, that stuff should be confined here and never see the light of the sun again.no this is definitely the correct thread for that stuff
Does it come in boost? Asking for a friend.... and we're back to 1995:

I'm suspicious because they appear to NOT be broken.
That thing actually makes sense. Have you ever tried to pick up an e bike and put it on a hitch rack? They’re not light.
I bought an e bike for my mother in law that’s 65lbs, and she couldn’t transport it (other than riding it obv) until I got her a moto hitch carrier with a ramp. I was surprised that I couldn’t find an actual bike rack with a ramp. Afterwards, I found the Euro Thule rack that has a ramp, and the above (which also appears to be an EU only product).
I had one of those for my dirt bike. Was a pretty easy solution.
UCI Launches 5-Round eMTB World Cup XC Series - Pinkbike
Following on from the inaugural World Championships in Mont Sainte Anne, the UCI launches a full World Cup series for e-mtbs.

They deserve ultimate indifference - do not stand course side.
21 ass salute
cannot comprehend the appeal of this format. i'm by no means an ebike evangelist (i've only ridden one once, and have no desire to own one any time soon), but an enduro format makes much better sense. more or less equivalent to a multi stage, self shuttled dh race. compresses the typical (long) enduro day significantly, and still places emphasis on bike handling / dh skills. sounds (sorta/ kinda) fun, actually.
I'm glad the ebike races are at different venues. It's not even a second tier sport yet.
I think it was Wyn Masters that entered some e-bike race and put up some helmet footage from it. Was actually pretty rowdy. Like way more tech than I expected and they go bloody fast.UCI Launches 5-Round eMTB World Cup XC Series - Pinkbike

Didn't the moto world federation do an e-bike thingy as well a year or two ago? Kinda shows where they belong IMO.
thanks for reminding me of this, i needed a good laugh.

If eMTB racing is going to be a thing (and the jury is still out on that one), it can't be this...
I guess you can truly create a sport out of anything. But aren't emtbs the antithesis of sport at the higest level?UCI Launches 5-Round eMTB World Cup XC Series - Pinkbike

Sure it's hard to really crank out some emtb riding....but at the highest level (World Cup) you want people powered bikes.
Wait I used to do the same. Why do we have to pee in different places?
Golly! If I didn't know better it would almost seem like pro racing exists primarily to sell stuff.
No wonder my dental insurance rates went up https://www.pinkbike.com/news/spengle-launch-one-off-24ct-gold-wheelset.html
Yeah. Me neither
Still makes no sense. The only way it would ever make any sense is if the motors max speed, assist torque, wattage, battery and assistance levels etc. were completely even across the entire field. not the nominal 250W BS in their current ruling
This isn't ever lilkely to happen. Unless spesh were to put on a standard Levo (as it's the biggest selling FS emtb) race. Otherwise it's just a gong show. UCI are pretty experienced at putting those on though.
yeah, curious if there's any mechanical testing in place. not in insurmountable hurdle, as every other motorsport finds ways to keep cheating (somewhat) in check, but certainly a concern.
Gary's right.
The only way to make this a racing format rather than an advertising campaign is if every rider is on the exact same engine set-up, as in certain motorsport categories.
The whole thing reeks of UCI desperately trying to stay ahead of Redbull.
Maybe Redbull will do ebike racing on frozen lakes, but with jousting too. I'd watch that once.

Need to put them on a bmx track....
If you want to hold Ebike racing on a velodrome to please Americans by all means knock yourself out.
