Got a conventional dual shock mtb never ride anymore. Tyres always flat. No longer into it. Hate the climbs. Wondering if i sold and upgraded to an e mtb it would motivate me more. Still good exercise from most accounts. Interested ti hear if anyone has made the switch and if its motivated them. I get it if u were right into it and its a progression. Im not. MTB fad has passed. Hate working on thr things also. Anyone also in same situation and e mtb rekindled like? Lots of coin bit figure if it gets me exercising its worth it

Peeps I've met on the trials have said its now as much fun going up as it is down hill.

Had one for years great fun. However the ground is harder than water. The falls hurt.

They are so much fun when there's no wind or surf.
The technology has been great for a while.
I got Trek Rail and it's great, minimal issues compared to mated with Specialized that most need motor replacement.
You can use the different power modes and to be honest turbo is sometimes too fast for uphill tracks.
Go demo one
