[Derkderkall]

Clues being posted on their IG stories page for a few days... A prototype...guesses?

 

[Derkderkall]

So from what I've seen... All clues point to an e bike.

They have to, I would think. That's where the sales are.

The war is over folks. We lost.

They're going back to making bikes in the US again?

That would be more than a little disappointing.....

I spotted four of them at Santiago Oaks yesterday. One was climbing the bottom part of Ridgeline, stalled out at the steep part by the jump rock, laid the bike down in the middle of the trail and just barely got it out of the way before a very nasty crash occurred with a descending rider.

Yep, E-Bike. From Steber's Instagram.

AWESOME!

...and by AWESOME I mean dreadful, shameful, horrible, disgusting and above all - disappointing.

And, unfortunately expected and understandable, since that's what's selling. F- me (facepalm)

You would have loved the two full-face-helmeted E-bike warriors we saw on STT today.

Wasn’t the guy wearing Lycra with the full face?

No shuttle required... And they still call it a bicycle?

Also selling...Bud Light and boy bands. AKA the lowest common denominator.... Facepalm is right!

As much as it pains me to say it ... that is one of the better looking eBikes I have seen.

The battle is over though ... eBikes will be virtually indistinguishable from our bikes within 5 years.

One more reason to ride GG.

I agree on both counts.

Major fail. Where's @doublewide? He's gotta go down to Temecula and shake some sense into Mr. Steber.

Showmount or die!!!!

All these AM/Eduro e-bikes are gonna shut the need for lifts down and therefore, the parks.

 

[kioti]

I'm holding out for the self-driving version.

Über bike, where art thou?

Not as long as they weigh 50 lbs. They must be a handful in the air.

However, when Elon Musk invents an electric motor that adds a mere 1 pound to your bike, well... game over.

..... and the Gubment subsidizes the cost 99%.

Is it the motor or the battery the weighs the most?

I figured a good shuttle program would let you drop off the battery at the top and grab a new one at the bottom.
