Out for a night ride last night on Fromme and saw 3 dudes on those Cake ebikes ripping around.....super fast, throttle only.
Are these things legal on the trails?

Someone passed me on an ebike on No Quarter yesterday, do I need to post in here even if it doesn't bother me? What are the current rules?
Was it a jabroni using the bikes battery to power their speaker too?
Don't know....maybe...probably? I had my own headphones in and the music cranked.
would be possible with the new fazua motor, they come with an usb port

Does the fact that it's Tippie and someone from Cake make it better?
🤦♂️Oh Tippie.

"Perfect for the Seymour self-shuttle!" ♥️♥️
If doofus actually follows through and shows up on the fragile bicycle trails with an ultra-high torque motorcycle, I'll have some in person comments with exclamation points for him.

Comments for Tippie, or for "SpinMaster3000" random guy who thinks that would be a good plan?
The doofus, SpinMaster3000.
If I ever met Tippe I'd probably just ogle and ask for an autograph lol. Actually, in a bizarre coincidence he recently texted me about a mutual friend.

Tippie's awesome, I've had the pleasure to chat and hang out dozens of times, and it's always the same. Good time laughing my ass off.
I wasn't sure if maybe you happened to know who the SpinMaster guy was... I assumed his comment was at least somewhat in jest.
Hopefully you've been lucky enough not to have had any run-ins with Surons. Entitlement needle is absolutely pegged.

Those Suron guys are barely one step removed from the near-homeless older guys you see in the DTES on e-fatbikes wearing heavily embroidered sports team hats and quilted plaid shirts.
at least they don’t burn fuel
Same torque as a full blown dirt bike, same ability to permanently decimate a mountain bike trail in a single pass. Literally one power band up a steep pitch and that rut will be there forever, only growing over time. There's nothing a trail builder can do to repair that.
The difference is Suron riders feel entitled to all things bicycle and regularly poach bicycle trails, while dirt bike riders understand the difference.
I used to ride dirt bikes on a regular basis, these Suron guys are a different breed altogether.
Have been lucky not to see any of these Suron dorks around the shore, are there really out there, on Seymour especially?

I hadn't considered the possibility that if enough of these assholes are ripping up the trails often enough that trail work would just cease in the face of such relentless abuse.
