Good to have you back JC! Not sure why there's still so much hate on eMTBs out there but I bought a Decoy last year and its a new type of stoke! More laps = more fun!

As an older guy I love my e-mtb. It allows me to ride more and that's what its all about. I've been mountain biking since the early 90's so I just scoff at people who say that its not real riding. I just do what I find fun and ignore the e-bike haters.

Hey man, It's so good to see you on KSL. How does it ride against Megatower V2? I purchased KSL 3 months ago, and I'm currenly waiting for new Megatower V2 frame under warranty. Megatower V1 was awesome, V2 was my dream bike, but since I became a father, I settle down with KSL. Less time, more rides🙈😂

Ebike are banned in most of the good Carolina trails, so even if you would love to have one its not worth it. I know many people who hate on them that have never ridden one, someday I think sooner than later it will open up to both styles. I’m in New Zealand and Ebikes and regular bikes are everywhere and people love riding young and old enjoying riding together. People ride $800 hardtails and 10000 ebikes on the same trails having a blast. They just made the trails directional so no one rides up the wrong way. No Drama just fun.

Take out all but one of the stem stackers, and swap out the stem for a 35mm reach one, i have a Hope stem. It transforms the bike. A one up dropper seat post will allow you to get your seat lower. Ihave an S3 and in 5'10.

100% agreed, I think this applies to “full power” e-bikes along with the light weight versions. I bought my levo for the exact reasons you cited - after driving to 3hrs Woodstock last fall and only getting 1 lap of mt peg on my Acoustic bike. Shortly after getting it I realized it’s great to ride on all kinds of trails too, and still getting a great workout, riding longer and covering more miles. The light weight models being more incognito are intriguing for more use as a do it all rig. I’m also looking forward to trying the ex-e, could be a 1 bike solution or a primary bike for all but the flattest/slowest trails. Thanks for making a vid about this!! I think the overall community is coming around in a big way on e-bikes.

Not just regular e-bikes but specifically light weight ones. Full powered e-bikes just don’t ride like a mountain bike, but these SL models feel really close. I guess I am a little late to the 🎉 I don’t really ride e-bikes that often.
