It's the scousers that'd keep me away not Ebikers.😉
Oi!
Sorry.😁
The first climb at Llandegla only takes 20 mins anyway, or slightly more. It’s a good warm up!
20 minutes?
I've got 2 of em
a hai bike fat six with 4" tyres
and a cannondale moterra full sus
both are bosch,
put a new chain and cassette on cannonade at about 900 miles, was ready for chain, but cassette could've gone longer, but for £40 might as well do it at same time
done 1400 miles on it in a year, still got other bikes, and stuff
often ride to work on it too , 10 miles through woods mostly - best time is 32 mins (takes me 20 in my car)
E bikes are great- they make a FAT bloke same as a FIT bloke

Even a fit person can't compete with an Ebike. I could only keep up with a poor rider on an Ebike on "Eco" mode. As soon as she put it in "Tour", I was left behind on the hill. There was still another two settings to go that significantly increased power output: Sport and Turbo.
An Ebike set on Turbo gets KOM's everywhere off-road where there is an incline.
I had a go on an Ebike once. Left it in Turbo and did 20k on VERY hard and muddy Lake District terrain in just one hour! When I was powering up 20% inclines I thought "there's no way anyone would be able to go up this so fast on a normal bike" and I wasn't even trying.

Thing is all eco modes are not made equal. On my bike the modes are setup to be 10%,25%,50% and I have max power usage turned down a bit. What that percentage actually means I'm still unsure. I've ridden with people who I can't keep up with unless I'm in the 25% mode.

yeah but you could also say
bikes are great- they make a FAT bloke into a FIT bloke 🙂
E bikes are great- they make a FAT bloke into a faster FAT bloke
FTFY 🙂
