Motors are fun. I started "mountain biking" around 1992 as a young teen because of the freedom and exploration. Around 1996 I replaced mountain bikes with dirt bikes (more fun especially in the flattish area I grew up). My partner has been asking me for the last 10 years (half-joking) when I am I going to get a dirtbike again. I admit some aspect of the exploration piece of a dirtbike appeals to me, but not the extra thing in my garage. An ebike on the other hand would expand the trail options I have for a one hour ride window out my door which appeals to me even more. I will get an ebike within the next 3 years.
