Just turned 49 and got my first ebike to keep up with my son lol

Just turned 49 and finally caved and bought an e-bike so I could keep up with my son. 😂 He's gotten really into mountain biking lately, and I tried following him on my regular bike a couple of times. Let's just say my legs reminded me I'm not 25 anymore... I could barely walk for two days afterward.

I finally picked up an e-bike a little while ago, and it honestly made a huge difference. We spent a couple of hours on the trails last weekend, and I was actually able to enjoy the ride instead of dreading every climb. It made riding together a lot more fun.

Anyone else here get into e-bikes because of their kids? Also, if you have any beginner trail riding tips, especially for cornering, I'm all ears. I'd love to surprise my son by looking a little less awkward next time. 😂

Btw, I ended up with a Tesway X9, if anyone else here has one.

Pedaling vs Peddling

For the record, the following words are not interchangeable:

Pedalling a bike = turning the cranks.

Peddling a bike = selling it.

eMotos are getting a LOT of heat now

Seeing more and more posts like this on socials. Directly underneath it was a video from the North Vancouver RCMP talking about illegal e-motos.

You know the saying that "when the shoe shine person gives you stock tips, the top of the market is in"?

Yea, this is like that. Days are numbered for unregistered e-motors.
