What did you think of this talk show/stop-and-chat style video? What riders would you like to see us chat to and why? Let us know 👇

[@LeecMTB]

Needs to be Steve Pete and rob Warner together surely !

[@moosicman101]

longer!! why is this so short? and ask them more about their opinions on things they brought up (like wheel sizes). i really like these two guests.

[@MrJackroderick]

Really enjoyed it. I think it's the best way to show that ebikes don't deserve the negative assumptions people make towards them. It shows that they have their place in all corners of the sport and for all kinds of riders to have fun.

[@zjedinite]

All I know is that whenever Georgia is on I tend to forget what the heck the video and just smile. I don’t want to come across as having a crush on her but some people are so charismatic that it’s hard to ignore. So I would say more Georgia, plz! 😎 What was I talking about 🤔 😊

[@zjedinite]

Oh yeah, the old man with the beard and Steve crack me up as well. I knew I was forgetting something. That damm Georgia! 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😂

[@ArkUSAbikerchick]

I just love Georgia Leslie’s personality!!! And Chris Akrig is amazing to watch!!! Great skills and style!!!

[@Vince_F]

GEORGIA LESLIE‼️ 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽‼️

[@Dannyjones1]

Chris Akrigg definitely changed my style of riding on an Ebike. I live next to a MTB quarry and I've really enjoyed the climbing/trials style. I also choose to ride alone and hone my skills.

[@allplayer24]

Please make Georgia Leslie a permanent on EMBN!

[@mattie_world]

i love chris akrigg, he opened my eyes to a whole new type of riding in my woods

[@MiaJones-xr2vv]

Hello Mattle, how are you doing😊

[@spencerwvcmoon]

A delight! Two brilliant proponents for the bright future of emtb and one or to old giffers hahaaa sorry Steve and mart you both played a big part in leading the way!

[@embn]

The future is bright!

[@markpeterson8978]

Well Good! Great questions and I look forward to seeing more. Cheers! - M

[@embn]

Great to hear that Mark! If we do this again who would you like to see on the channel?

[@Magoo71]

Thanks Stevie for showing us these two humans who seem to really love eBikes!! It seems everyone likes to get Stevie to laugh...he's got a great one to listen too!

[@bikevoltrides7209]

Leslie❤

[@johnreese3762]

Great video/guests! Thanks Steve!!

[@ronaldomac4918]

Georgia is a breath of fresh air and i love her passion for MTB....! Every MTB park needs a georgia to brighten the trail scene up, time to draw up a plan for a cloning machine... Great show guys :)

[@robhaskins3068]

Like me Georgia is nearly back to her birth weight so lightweight Emtbs are perfect.

[@BobBob-bq2be]

Kenevo SL defo the benchmark for all downhill e-bikes.

[@tomtraynor5384]

Totally off topic here--but I am left wondering what mountainbike/E-bike for USA/Michigan hilly trail riding. It's NOT these epic terrains with plenty of coast-able down hills, often shown on various MB videos. It's not so knarly trails with minimal rocks and some roots. Any throw me a bone here? What E-Mountain would suit me. we for sure have Yeti and Trek and several others in town. Oh--I am an athletic older guy (age64) whims young at heart and pretty fit, weighing 160 pounds. Thanks!

[@vashon100]

Depends on budget too, but certainly no need for long travel then, more XC oriented.

[@adamwil1177]

The Glen comments from Steve🤣 Best place in Yorkshire for mtb

[@jerryofthebikes]

4:10 that's what she said

[@charlesxiong6016]

I like her 😊 !

[@charlesxiong6016]

@Anonymous One well that's mean.

[@charlesxiong6016]

@Anonymous One ✌️

[@gordsimpson8916]

I do love my Levo!! Great video!

[@elrictdb]

Thank you Chris! Someone else who says "What's that in real money?" when asked about weight in kilos. (I know I picked this up from my dad)

[@philboynz]

Giorgia you can come to NZ anytime 😅😅

[@vashon100]

Georgia vs Giorgia

[@mahennaiker5072]

Great Show any reccomedation on XC riding a bit of up hill down hill and flow trails

[@billmcmillan7735]

What part of this video discussed choosing an e-bike?

[@dazmtb]

Georgia is so funny and must be hilarious away from the cameras and always great viewing 🤩. Hopefully bump into her when I’m at Surrey Hills, Peaslake and Redlands next month for a long weekend visit, so if your free 😉

[@BigSmartQuiz]

Good point, albeit a touch creepy! 🤨

[@dazmtb]

@@BigSmartQuiz what’s creepy about that? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@MrPyadster]

[@vashon100]

[@claremontinteriorsmw]

[@TerryGriebel-cb1wl]

[@Wargwarn]

[@elvislad]

Imagine being a pro rider on a top end bike and still not making it up a hill...wtf
