What's The Point In Lightweight E-Bikes?! | NEW Scott Voltage Explained

[@AgentAGent007]

I'm looking at a lightweight bike because I live in a flat with no lift access so have to get my bike up and down the stairs every time I want to go on a ride. another advantage of them not weighing 20Kg+

[@Kev2Bee]

YES! "Analogue" is the correct term for non-e-bikes. I have an Orbea Rise EP801 and now I can have 85Nm if I want it! Thanks for the firmware update Shimano.

👍Soo true, everything in moderation 👏

My experience; I bought full fat eMTB first, then a dirt jump. I wish I had done it the other way round for fitness and skill progression. Not sure the light eMTBs offer anything significant from my perspective? I shall try it out and see.

[@tomquimby8669]

Good try but no thanks, Full power is the only way.

[@BankBoy21]

Full is dead:) you dont Need More than 60nm. Only if you are very unfit. Than you Need training

[@tomquimby8669]

@@BankBoy21 that's funny!

[@activelives]

It's horses for courses, I've had all 3 full fat, low fat and mid fat and I'll never go back to full power.

Its for the Rich who can afford it...Because no one else can....!!

[@lisawells968]

Or just buy a regular bike and get fit. You guys ride motorcycles

[@CoffeeMonster12]

Emtbs allow way more people to enjoy the sport we all love. Hating on them just makes you a gatekeeper

[@OscarHernandez-xx2je]

An e-bike will allow you to session more and thus get better skill wise. It’s up to you to ride your analog. I have both and I always alternate bike type. E-bikes will also make mundane trails fun. Try it. You’ll thank me later.
