TL;DR
- The author, initially resistant to e-bikes, found them to be fun and a great equalizer.
- Advanced motor technology, like the Avinox M2S, assists riders on climbs and technical sections, compensating for technique.
- E-bikes increase confidence, especially for novice riders or those recovering from injuries.
- European e-bikes have motor limitations (25km/h assist cutoff, 250W max output) that prevent them from being overly dominant.
- The core benefit of eMTBs is increased enjoyment, more time on trails, and greater accessibility to challenging terrain, regardless of the bike's price point.
