So do you all really think that trails are all of a sudden going to be flooded with people who are new to the sport and run out to drop $5-12k on ebikes? How many times do we get asked for advice on buying a first bike only to have the person get sticker shock when we recommend a $1k used hardtail?
Personally I see the appeal for big rides that I absolutely don't have the fitness for. If I lived somewhere near real wilderness where you could put together 30-50mi scenic, mountainous rides and I had an extra $5k lying around I'd go get a demo.
