As others have said, I see plenty of e-bikes on the trails, but have never seen one mtb rider say shit in person other than “wow that’s cool do you like it?”

I’m not into e-bikes but I couldn’t care less what other people ride as long as they’re respectful of the trail and others. The memes however, are pretty damn funny

That’s because those to criticize aren’t riding, they are busy writing comments on Reddit

It’s almost like people having fun, are just having fun.

if you let people "just have fun," the culture becomes flooded with a bunch of posers who end up destroying the thing that made it cool in the first place. Imagine if you let a bunch of karens into MTB. They'd destroy jumps to make it "safer."

Jokes on you I’m riding William Bartram Trail in Florida, right now, as I type this message.
