Is it a bike or just similar to a bike or representative of a bike? I don't understand?
I believe it's analog as in analog versus digital. Before we had digital, 1s and 0s, computers we had analog, based on varying physical quantities. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer
So basically pedals equates to analog
It means that the battery display on your bike doesn't use digits. The remaining battery is shown in blocks, as on Shimano, rather than as a percentage using digits.
Your rate of forward progress is an analogue of your effort. On a true digital bike, your forward progress is 0 or 1, regardless of your effort. However, I believe that clever engineers have programmed digital bikes to mimic the analogue effect.
Analogue bikes are for riding in circles
But you do know what it means really.
It's a shyte term, bike is a bike
I just use bike, ebike
It’s all that’s needed. If you read something about a bike and it doesn’t have an e in front of it, you know its not electrically powered. Motorbikes are different, only motorcyclists talk about them 😊
It was a maybe too subtle dig at Saurons/illegal ebikes.
Someone needs to tell the mainstream press.
I quite like clockwork as a means to differentiate from ebike.
How does Aphex Twin clean his acoustic bike?
With Analogue Bubblebath.

Is this a wind up?
Can I suggest an ebike forum where all the ebikers can think up derogatory term for bikes in peace and leave the rest of us alone.
I just thought it meant good old cables to change gear. I've got an ebike and a bike bike and I love them both. Glad of the ebike when I'm out with people half my age and I need to keep up though.
