Lots in the above and will have a think. BUT just for a moment….trail damage.
Energy
Speed
Mass
Energy put into the ground by braking will be proportional to the weight and the speed.
Weight of a typical enduro e bike = 21.kg …..CRIPES!
Add the spare battery the rider has in their pack (I am being serious) = 4kg …GOLLY!
Typical rider = 70kg
Speed = in flat single track quite a bit more than a non-E-bike
Weight of typical enduro bike = 12.kg
Typical rider = 70kg
Speed = less
Difference in weight = 13kg (CRIPES that’s twice the weight) and in speed quite a bit
That’s a lot more energy going into the trail.
