Making that battery powered motobike money in the short term could very well crush the actual bike industry. Not that the dummies who pushed big-wheeled mountain bikes and 650B mountain bikes and gravel bikes and fat road tires and disc brakes on road bikes and plus-tired mountain bikes and fat bikes and overpriced Chinese plastic crap just to sell bikes to idiots haven't fucked up wicked bad before this. But this time could be different. In the quest for easy money mostly from selling electric motorcycles to Eurotrash in an industry that has a hard enough time making decent stuff at reasonable prices, the bicycle industry is fellating the devil. You can't blame Pinkbike for pushing what they're paid to push. That's what stenographers do. But all these bike brands are gonna be really fucked in ten years' time if they are not careful. I guess nobody at Specialized or Rocky Mountain knows what the first Harley looked like...
Dirtbikes are fun, but they are not mountain bikes and are disasters for the trails and the environment as a whole. Battery powered motorcycles are no better. The cycling industry is wicked fucking stupid.
