When I bought a beautiful carbon Mojo HD, Hans, it was my dream bike and I thought I'd ride it forever, but the world had other plans with the quick death of 26" wheels and 2012 bike geometry.
When my wife was buying her dream bike, I cheered her on when she decided on a fancy-build Ripley.
And my 50th birthday gift to myself was a Ripmo AF.
So, for Ibis, I was the kind of customer that most other bike companies only dream they could attract. Until you guys decided to start selling ebikes. I have no doubt you'll sell a bunch of them, too. But I believe you've lost something, too.
I don't expect I'll ever buy an Ibis again. And I doubt I'm the only one. There still are mountain bike makers who choose not to sell ebikes. As long as there are, that's who's getting my money. That's who builds my dream bikes now.
