Andy, yesterday I took my 10 year old Krampus now with drop bars, rigid forks ad 45mm wide fast rolling tyres down some local trails that would normally be easy on either my HT or FS bike. Now that was fun and something I'm hoping to do more of over summer. I see can see myself getting a Stooge more than an ebike in the future. This [https://theradavist.com/2024-stooge-speedbomb-review/](https://theradavist.com/2024-stooge-speedbomb-review/) was a great article about going back to basics.
I encourage anyone with an older, steeper, shorter HT to slap a rigid fork on it and some drop bars and have a laugh.
