I think the strength of people’s reaction to this term is hilarious.  If mountain mopeds are actually electric mountain bikes than we’re going to need a term to differentiate the two. Guitars come in electric and acoustic, everyone know what it means, so hey, why not use the term for mountain bikes too?   I know acoustic technically refers to sound but none of y’all who object to the term has suggested an alternative. Besides, to borrow some reasoning from the mountain moped advocates - it seems the train has left the station here, time to get on board! I’m sure Specialized and Trek will tell us what’s right, they seem to have a firm grasp on the future  mountain bikers want🙄
