Don't know how to link to it by IMB magazine has this in its latest issue. They reckon we are in the analogue bikes last decade and give it 4 years we will all be fully electric ? 🤔🧐

There is also an absolute affordability issue for emtbs. I've just done a quick scan of the big brands and it looks like a £2000 additional cost more or less for equivalent e version of a bike. I've friends who can barely scrape together a grand or so for a new bike or maybe £600 for a second hand. Dropping an absolute minimum of £3000 for a mid range hard tail would be unimaginable

Until the premium drops significantly and/or the second hand market gets much cheaper a lot of people will be sticking with push bikes

Thanks ss stu.

We have also been out cycling with hardly a portly e biker in sight except on our return route on the canal.
