Mondraker Launch Full Range of MTBs and eMTBs for Kids

 Define 'God'

 Yeh, I hate kids, and fun! Heaven forbid kids having fun outside, and not reading the good book inside.

 Every day we get closer to the humans from Wall-E.

Meanwhile I’m towing my kid up the hill on my non-motorized bike. Teaching him not to be a lazy. I’ll take my health and fitness over convenience thank ya.

 wild how people get so antsy when you mention the word god lol

 @danielfloyd: isn't usa is super religious? While carrying their Glock to the church, marrying fake boobs fake blonde fake Christian girl that can do a throaty with a twister like a whore with 15 years of experience

got carried away there a little But basically yeah, isn't USA very fake Christian?

 @danielfloyd: From what I've heard, over in nort

 @valrock: I'm sure there's people like that, but I wouldn't say that about America as a whole.

 @danielfloyd: I guess you are correct, the idiots are usually very loud and noticeable, most decent people are prob quite and just minding their business

 @roxtar: you should travel, like at least out of your state... you will be surprised how many more livable places with nice people are there... the only positive thing of being USA citizen in this increasingly hostile world is your military, they can f*ck everyone up

 @danielfloyd: right? It’s literally a meme phrase lol

 danielfloyd: If there is a god, I dare them to strike me dead now, as I type thi

 @suspended-flesh: that took me out

 @valrock:
joke
/jōk/
noun: joke; plural noun: jokes

a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline.
"she was in a mood to tell jokes"

 I pray for it.

 @roxtar:

 @UnitedInShred22: that’s what I told my little girl, gotta earn your turns!

 @UnitedInShred22:

I found this very helpful (traxbike.com/trax-mtb). I don't even remove it out when I ride alone. Just flip it forward, tucked under the saddle nose

 "..." Aaron Gwin

 Religion is the root of most wars, so lucky for the bike industry.

 @noplacelikeloam: Um, Santa Claus, the Tooth fairy etc etc...something that has no hard proof exists. But hey, if it makes you a better person, have at it. But then again, Santa Claus has left me a present under my xmas tree. So maybe not him.

 @roxtar: I know bro... US is a joke

 @UnitedInShred22: Hear me out, its no different than having a dirt bike, I got my first dirt bike at 7, still have it a 1983 Honda ZR50R. That bike took me all over the place, through fields and ditches, and jumps, and ponds and all over. It certainly didnt lead to being lazy, I spent years racing BMX and MX all because I started on that bike. It was a way for my father and I to spend the very little free time he had, and the opportunity for me to learn about pulling wrenches with him fixing it up.

I still ride bikes, and dirt bikes (not quads though, quads are for fat kids) these throttle assisted balance bikes are just a way to get kids outside, rather than playing video games inside.

Its cool that youre out with your kids, but dont bite on the way that others might choose to do the same thing

 @onawalk: Anything that gets kids outside and off screens is a good thing. Hopefully not sounding like a crazy environmentalist here, but it seems obvious over consumption is reaping some negative effects on the planet. Right? Maybe not and I’m just crazy. I personally have stayed away from MX because of how they burn through fuel like crazy. One because I can’t afford it, and two because of trying to scale back impact. I’m not one to tell anyone how to live their lives though so please don’t take it that way, and hopefully not sounding too much like a hypocrite because I am not some hermit living fully self sustained in the forest. With the world how it is today just disappointed to see batteries taking over the forest. One ebike in someone’s mind doesn’t seem like a big impact but it all adds up. Would love to see everyone trying to cut back their impact as much as possible to preserve the planet for future generations, and this seems like a wasteful use of a lithium resource.

I also don’t hold a ton of respect for MX riders right now due to the fact that there has been a herd of em poaching, climbing, and destroying trails hand built by mountain bikers over long hours and sweat at one of our local spots. In addition to rutting out our descents, they are leaving trash. Some real lames out there giving MX a bad rep. Not saying all MX folks are disrespectful, but there seems to be an upward trend of disrespect for the forest from that group around here.

That is an awesome story of you and your father bonding, don’t get me wrong. My father also had very limited time working long hours in steel mills and paper plants to provide for us so I understand that. As I’ve grown into an adult with a son of my own, lately I’ve been thinking maybe it’s just time we start looking at things through a different lens to preserve the planet for our children and their children after them.

 @UnitedInShred22: how is towing your kid up a mountain teaching him not to be lazy?

 @enduroNZ: He’s 3. Little legs. Shotgun seat up front. Balance bike strapped to my back. We normally just shred pump tracks, but every so often I’ll pedal him up to a flowy green. Once he is big enough to pedal he will be powering himself more.

 Their children are lazy lumps and the child will keep whining unless it's got some lithium, too?

 Great first step into MX and trials bikes. I'd have a few less scars if one of those had been my first moto.

 To be fair. There were a few kids I grew up with that had Honda 50's. What's the difference?

Before you downvote me to oblivion,I will follow that up with I am not in favour of e bikes unless needed for health reasons.

 There is none. There are however plenty of rich people with kids who’ll buy them silly stuff just because it’s expensive. Good move on Mondraker’s behalf I’d say to rake in a bit of extra money.

 I rode A LOT as a kid, but I would have ridden twice as much if I was twice as fast up the hills....

 It's easy.
Dads and mums get an ebike and then they realize they can't ride anymore with their kids because of the huge speed difference.
Solution: they get an ebike for their kids

 @granjak: Exactly. Most parents aren't going to get their kids eBikes and these are likely going to be low volume sellers for the brands that make them. But some parents will want eBikes so their kids can ride faster or farther with them.

@theedon have you ever tried to ride bikes with a kid? They have a ton of energy but not a lot of strength. This means they can normally ride a long time but don't get anywhere fast.

 @granjak: Tow rope works too..

 @fabwizard: exactly, today we have e-bikes instead than 50 cc, easier to storage to transport and mostly quiet, especially for a growing life in bc

 My son has one, (4 yo)I owned every bike and motorcycles, I just love 2 wheels like all of us here. I can tell you that there s a lot of exercise behind riding an Ebike ( honestly is more like a little motorcycle ,it has no pedals) the focus he needs as well as managing the speed it s very demanding on his brain, this makes him burn off energy anyway. IMO they are selling these as e-bikes…wrong! These are electric motorcycles. I wish I had 10 when I was that age

 @GTscoob: we have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and they are their own e-machine with ultra long range batteries. They don’t need more speed at this point.

 Kids can’t keep up with their parents, even if the parents are riding a regular bike. That might be one justification. I’m not getting my kids and e-bike, but I could see that as a reason to justify one.

 I shuttle my 9 year old son sometimes - my wife and I take turns driving/riding laps. It’s helped a LOT with his skills development and fun-level. The key is sometimes and I wouldn’t want him to have an e-bike/shuttle/chairlift for every ride. So if these are a second bike to get around some logistics like that maybe it makes more sense?!

 @vp27: I would not say there is never a reason for a kid to have an ebike. Some kids are born with mobility challenges that can affect their ability to ride a bike. A little pedal assist might help them to be able to go for a bike ride. While riding with pedal assist they just might develop the coordination and muscle
Tone that will allow them to ride a non-motorized bike.

For many kids it does not make sense for them to have an ebike but there are those situations it might be warranted.

 parent: C'mon Junior, let's get you some exercise.

kid: Wait, there's an app for that now.

 @Fix-the-Spade: not sure who's down voting this...
I got a 50cc at 5 and rode dirt bikes until about 18...it 100% helps with riding a mountain bike. The perception of speed and your brain learning to process stuff faster alone is worth it. Also, handling a push bike after dealing with the weight of a moto is easy. To the people thinking it is lazy...have you ridden a dirtbike? The guys racing moto and enduro are super fit. It is extremely demanding, even if you are not peddling.

 How has no one here heard of Stacyc? Literally every moto company has their own branded Stacyc that they sell the shit out of. Go to KTM, Honda, Yamaha, any of them, go to the kids section. This isn’t new.

It’s a tiny motorcycle. Saying that kids shouldn’t have tiny motorcycles is like saying adults shouldn’t have motorcycles either. They’re fun, and that’s why people buy them, young or old.

Get off your high horses. You’re all on a website geared around recreating on 2 wheels. People can buy whatever they want to buy and have fun however they please. God forbid we let our kids have fun with cool toys after we work our asses off as adults to obtain a life where we can afford such a thing.

 @ReformedRoadie: The idea of a two wheeled vehicle with no pedals and a throttle being a motorbike might be frightening them?

 Kids are allowed to use chairlifts to get more riding but not e-bikes?

 @fabwizard: how about for fun reasons?

 @bigtim: nope you wouldn't... you would fat from all the donnuts

 @darkstar66: sorry I consider the fun ones dirt bikes.

That being said I also ride dirt bikes.

 I wondered the same. I do know someone in my wife’s family with one though, and they were saying it meant their youngest child could ride further & faster, keeping up with the rest of the group and doing the kind of trips out they were aiming at; he couldn’t manage yet without assist.

 @Corinthian: weak ass child

 @Corinthian: I wonder how they will get the child to pedal on their own in the future.

We just backed off our family rides to what the youngest could do. It's amazing how fast they progress with just wanting to keep up to the older kids.

 just combine e-bikes and a steady diet of mcdonalds and you have a winning recipe for active obese kids

 Grooming for 50lb wagonwheel e-bike future, if the kid learns on an e-bike they won’t know what they’re missing. (bunnyhops, jibs, etc)

 @Fix-the-Spade: Apparently...and the fact that you can have both a electric moto (e-balance bike, whatever) AND a pedal bike.
Growing up in an urban area, even when I had both, the moto was a Sunday thing (1 1/2 drive, min) and mtb "training" during the week at local parks after school.

 I have three boys; the older two can pedal, and the youngest is still on his balance bike but can't keep up, especially for long distances. An E-balance bike would be a huge help for longer rides.

 I'm not buying eebs for my kids, but there are rides that I would like to take them on that are too long or have too much climbing for their endurance unassisted.

 I tow my 9 year old on my regular bike, so no bias here. But the justification is easy. Allow kids to have more fun outside. Spend more time together because they can join you on longer rides. Kids like biking because it's fun, not because of the exercise (that's just a great side benefit). If you think that's insane, tell me, when you take your kids skiing do you use the lift or make them hike up the mountain?

My son loves biking but at 9 years old he doesn't have the strength or stamina to do big climbs or rides yet, even with me towing him. There's a great 1/2 mile flow trail near our house that my son loves but we can only do ~2 laps because of how long it takes him to get up, even with the tow rope. If he was on an ebike he could keep up with me on my regular bike and we could do probably double the laps.

But most importantly, just stop worrying about what someone else might buy and go enjoy your life.

 @emptybe-er: turns out, you can do those things on a 50lb bike. There’s loads of dh videos from the early/mid 2000s of people bunnyhopping and jibbing 50lb bikes.

 Because pedaling up is even more of a hustle and annoying than for adults?

This makes total sense!!

 It's pretty easy... So many dad's on EEBs now with ropes towing their kids up to gnarlier trails or just to get more laps in or just to get them out to enjoy the sport. Stop your whining, enjoy what you want out of the sport and get on the supportive rider bus, be stoked for everyone riding whatever they want.

 Tomorrow pushing up a 900 meter vert hike a bike for a mt top picnic and epic descent. Me and brother in law on Amish bikes. 12 yr old son and nephew on ebikes. Kids already experienced shuttle dhers and dirt jumpers but don't have the strength or stamina to enjoy big backcountry hike a bike. Highly recommended

 @HughBonero: pushing up, or hike-a-bike? The latter involves carrying, so utter hell if you’ve got an ebike

 @granjak: I never seen anyone on a ebike riding with their kids, and there are a lot of ebikes on the trails these days. They seem to be either fat slobs on walmart electric mopeds riding around town, or Strava KOMs pounding laps on $10K+ bikes.

 @mattmatthew: I'm pretty sure America has plenty of fat kids without the help of ebikes

 @mashrv1: sorry I use "hike a bike" to mean "push a bike". And rarely get into "over the shoulder carry a bike"

 @plyawn: I use my ebike to tow my 11 year old to the top every weekend. Guaranteed he's faster on the way down than 90% of the people hating on ebikes on pinkbike also. I used to do between 10-15K feet of climbing a week on a regular enduro bike for years, have the same amount of fun now on my ebike and I either get to bring my kid along or do it in half the time since I have two other kids waiting at home. I stopped riding for a few years when my second and third kid were born since I couldn't spend so many hours a week riding. Now I can do the same amount of riding in way less time and I pedal just as hard, I just go faster.

 @GTscoob: Why can't people just accept basic realities of life anymore? Kids don't yet have the skills, stamina and strength that adults have. As you get older you losse some of all that again, are less flexible and don't recover as fast. Such is life.
It's the reason people do a lot of things with others around the same age.

When you mix generations (or genders, or experience levels, etc.) you will need to make an effort to let it work for everybody. There's nothing wrong with that, on the contrary, it's beautiful! You're a team, you stick up for each other, help each other, show patience, mentor, etc.

I'm 53 years old, and when I get too old to ride like I do now, that's fine. I'll go for shorter rides and/or go slower and/or take less risk, until I don't find it fun anymore. That's life.

 @joecrosby: Yeah I was doing it but too, but those folks were mostly blue collar, and a different kind of blue collar (gen x), so different that 29” wheels would not work for these folks. They mostly preferred 24” dbl wides, mag 30’s etc. And the bikes weren’t 8’ long. Not apples to apples.

 @Muckal: Kids just want to have fun. period! How would you like to pedal a 60 pound bike uphill? Cause I'm guessing that's what it must feel like for them. I'm looking forward to busting out a 15 to 20 mile ride with my kids and not have to tell them we are almost to the top of the hill a ton of times. If you are commenting negatively about these bikes you probably don't have kids. And at that point you just don't get it.

 @alwayslivingthedream: I think parents need to reset their aspersions with kids. Instead of expecting them to keep up to you. How about you slow down for them. We just slowly expanded their ride length and from green to blue etc.... now my ten yo out climbs your average adult easily.

Use the slow time to talk about dinosaurs or Pokemon. Or use teaching moments on the trail.

As the kids progressed we would always find a climb or move that challenged them. And we would celebrate when they made it.

 @alwayslivingthedream: I do have kids. Rides with the kids are about them having fun outside, not about "busting out a 15 to 20 mile ride" to hit some personal strava quota.

 @alwayslivingthedream: realistically, imagine pedaling a bike that weighs as much as you do. That's how most kids bikes are unless you're going to spend big bucks on a bike your kid will outgrow in a year or two.

 @GTscoob: If bike weight is so critical, a heavy e-bike should not even be a consideration. Besides leg strength to climb hills, bike handling skills are also lacking in young riders. An e-bike helps mitigate the leg strength issues, but the significant extra weight is a major detriment when learning how to handle a bike.

My youngest is on a 26" hardtail that weighs almost 10 pounds less than Mondraker's $3399 e-version and I have less than $1000 into it.

 @fabwizard: this is all very true and good advice

 @fabwizard: Ok, sorry. You're right. No ebike for kids. Just rainbows and butterflies. Meh!

 @GTscoob: Exaggeration doesn't make your point any stronger.
Yes, kid's bikes are relatively heavy, but no kid's bike is as heavy as the kid that is riding it. Hell, even the Mondraker Grammy 12 with its motor is only half the weight of the average 3 year old.

Kid's bikes should be light and nimble, but even if they are a bit crappy and too heavy, kids will generally have a blast on them anyway. Adding a motor doesn't add fun, it only adds costs, weight, and complexity.

 @nnowak: F$%# STRAVA

 @GTscoob: so far we found that if I bought a high end kids bike used. We would sell it for a few hundred less when we were done

However, I am in my first bought new bike . Gonna sell it after Santa comes. It is a vpace moritz 24. Hopefully I don't lose to much given they no longer ship to north America they are pretty rare here.

 @alwayslivingthedream: my kids and grandkids all ride mx as well.

My discussion was more about coming down to the groms level rather than expecting them to come to ours.

 Hear me out, its no different than having a dirt bike, I got my first dirt bike at 7, still have it a 1983 Honda ZR50R. That bike took me all over the place, through fields and ditches, and jumps, and ponds and all over. It certainly didnt lead to being lazy, I spent years racing BMX and MX all because I started on that bike. It was a way for my father and I to spend the very little free time he had, and the opportunity for me to learn about pulling wrenches with him fixing it up.

I still ride bikes, and dirt bikes (not quads though, quads are for fat kids) these throttle assisted balance bikes are just a way to get kids outside, rather than playing video games inside.

Its cool that youre out with your kids, but dont bite on the way that others might choose to do the same thing

 @onawalk: yup how many top DH riders started on MX? Shit loads! No body whines about that. Honestly don't feel you need to justify having fun to the haters on this site dude

 @onawalk:
100%

"not quads though, quads are for fat kids" - LOL Also if you have zero skills.
Tho, they are fun AF in the snow...riding or towing a disk. Not enough snow where I am to justify owning one.

When the time comes, it's nice to have an option for my grom that won't piss off the neighbors if he's zippin around the yard.

 @darkstar66: JUst tryig to provide an alternate opinion for people. Some people are very quick to condemn any sort of e-bike, with out giving them a bit of thought.
I'm not even into e-bikes, dont own one, dont see myself owning one for quite some time. Rented one in Costa Rica, had a blast, was more like dirt biking than mountain biking, was a tonne of fun on the way up, not my jam on the way down

 @WhateverBikes: Why plan on having less fun just because your body is less capable? You say "that's life", but you only get one, so why not make the most of it?

 @dsut4392: For me, at some point, it becomes a bit pathetic, to have your old body shuttled around when it really isn't capable anymore. Life has different stages, and that's okay. I try to make the most of it by keeping fit, so I can continue riding as long as possible. If rides gradually become a bit shorter, that's fine.
There's plenty of things one can do to have fun besides riding once that has become impossible.

 and why try to say an ebike requires pedaling and has no throttle, then show an electric moto and call it an ebike?

 the whole purpose of these is to trigger you

 they wanted those of us with the filter turned on to make fun of these things

 @valrock: lol i love watching these people lose their minds over something so irrelevant

 @cuban-b: it is ok tho... I totally understand it. I personally would prob be triggered if my friend dropped 600 presidents on a derailleur cage.. I would be triggered because I cannot call my friend a dumbass without offending them

 @valrock: @cuban-b quiet down kids, the adults are trying to have a discussion.

 @Whataboutism: says the guy triggered by bikes LOL. loser

 @cuban-b: do you know the difference between a question and ….nevermind just say thanks and go sit back down at the kids table.

 @Whataboutism:

 @cuban-b: cute. Mum taught you how to use emojis. Good lad.

 no its cuz you feed your kids fast food.

 Getting kids on a bike and make them moving makes them obese?
I always thought not moving and eating shit does.

I'm glad I'm learning new things everyday. Would be cruel to die dumb.

 @cuban-b: Fast food is fine it's CICO mate that rules all

 Too much food, TV and games consoles.

It's not just kids it's 73% of American adults are over weight or obese.
Better to be outside than in a fast food joint or at home playing games, watching telly.

 @betsie: Homer Simpson : Aw, you can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. Forfty percent of all people know that.

 @mtnsnap: oopsie, you didn't like that little truth eh, did it hurt?

I work for a health care company in the UK, cakes are fine in the office but don't take a band or dumbbell in, it's not allowed.

 I had to ride a bike that had it's own gravity field, I'll be damned if my kids don't have to too

 with solid tires and cantilever brakes...forget droppers and suspension.

 What brand / model of balance bike? Asking for a friend

 @Mr-Gilsch: Started on Retrospec Cricket when he was real small. Sweet little bike that also doubles as a walking toy to help them gain balance. There are two front wheels so they can’t tip over and they have a little bit of friction to them so they can’t go too fast.

If your friends kid is still really small Early Rider now makes an interesting lil ripper called the Super Velio. This wasn’t available when my kid was less than one, but of it was may have gotten that over the Retrospec. The Retrospec is significantly cheaper though.

Then on to a Commencal Ramones 12 once he outgrew the Retrospec, and now on a Ramones 14 with a Magura kids break kit from Kids Ride Shotgun. I know Magura breaks sound like overkill for a toddler but that kit really is the best for their small hands.

Never went Strider route because those hard wheels don’t have great grip when rallying.

When moving from the Retrospec to the Ramones I spent a lot of time pushing him around instead of using training wheels. Basically running behind him and holding onto his waist to get him up to speed and letting go every once in a while to see how his balance was progressing. Once his balance started getting good we found to a small grass hill with a slight downhill and a long runout for him to take longer runs on his own. Grass is key in this early stage because they are gonna bail, and the runout was key because I wasn’t introducing brakes at thos point. Don’t learn on pavement or dirt. When the falls are on grass then less chance of getting scraped up and getting discouraged. After he conquered the grass hill it was on to dirt pump tracks. Now he absolutely rips pump tracks dirt and pavement. Once he absolutely crushed his balance I put a brake kit on for him to throw skids, even though he rarely uses them.

Most important thing is to stay close. When they start going downhill wait every 10 ft or so and catch them before they get going too quick. It’s easy to catch them by the chest to slowly deaccelrate them. Don’t grab the bars to stop them immediately because they’ll hit their sternum on the stem. Then move farther back a little more each time as they progress. I also put pipe insulating around the bars and stem and wrapped them in gorilla tap for some padding, its been a huge saver when he bails not to slam the hard metal. Also remember a helmet and pads every time. Giro Scamp is a great helmet, and its pretty easy to find basic toddler knee and elbow pads that help prevent scrapes and bruises.

Lots of time and patience. Skipping my rides after work to focus on his instead. Proud seeing my lil dude absolutely shred the tracks. So cool when he catches a little air off a roller then rails a berm.

No batteries on bikes for him. Learning how to naturally pump the trail and track to keep speed up instead of a throttle. He may give me grief when he is a young teenager begging for an ebike because all his buddies parents caved in, but he will thank me later in life when he realizes all the strength he gained from abstaining helped mold him into the alpha of any path he chooses.

Then I’ll show him a town that was devastated by lithium mining and that hopefully will give him some satisfaction. Batteries make sense elsewhere in life, but for bikes that can efficiently powered by leg power, pretty wasteful of resources in my mind.

 @UnitedInShred22: appreciate you sharing your experience and advice, that you very much!

 @Mr-Gilsch: Yea brother no worries. Glad to pass on what I’ve learned. Have fun getting that little one shredding.

 ...16 "mercury" years puts that limit at 3.5 earth years, prefect!

 Yeah they're illegal in the UK too until 14.

 Any chance that statute applies to operating the “bike” on roads and not trails?

At least in the US, the legality of the e-bike will vary from the land manager’s permitted uses on the trails, not what the local municipality has said about roads.

 saying "I bought my 3 year old an 'electric balance bike'" is going to be easier for friends and family to stomach compared to... "I bought my 3 year old an electric motorcycle." Its not what it is...just what you call it (but, seriously, that's an e-moto).

 Funny thing is Walmart has been selling electric "balance" bikes for years for a fraction of the price. They are called Razors.

 @SATN-XC: yep. all my moto friends start their kids on these exact things.

 Ha, I rebuilt a nineties mtb for both of my daughters. Full rigid, V-brakes (well, one of them, the other has cantilevers actually), no dropper posts or any of that silly stuff. They do everything with those bikes; daily school rides, riding to their sport clubs and friend, errands, and the occasional mtb ride. They love it, and stand out from all the other kids with their boring, heavy cargo bikes and obese ebikes. And they stay fit and resilient, never complain if it rains or freezes.
Call me a loser parent all you want, but it's you who will have the loser kids.

By the way, there's no such thing as 'non ebikes'. They are called 'bikes'.

 ^^^ this...best way to get kids into bikes is to buy them nice ones. Also, the resale value on kids bikes is pretty high...just sell the old one and roll the proceeds into the next one. That said, not sure 16" and 20" bikes need suspension. Both of my young kids are on rigid MTB's with 20x2.6" tires...the fat tires provide plenty of suspension for a 45-50 lb kid.

 @SATN-XC: for sure. Last year I sold my boy's 26" FS bike and recovered 75% of the original cost.

 When my kids were small, I’d put the baby in a trailer, 3 year old on a balance bike and 5 year old on a pedal bike. When the 3 year old got tired, he would hop in the trailer and we’d strap his bike to the back. We covered a lot of ground without the need for e-bikes.

 Our 4 year old has been on an electric KTM / stacyc since he was 3 and is clearing his little jumps in our backyard just fine by now.

 You’re thinking in fantasies. Not sure what your idea of a full size ride is, but no way I’m taking a 3-8 year old on a e-balance bike down the trails that my adult self likes to ride. “Hey lil dude I got you this throttle buster so you can climb with dad and huck your meat just like dad can. Hope you’re ready for this steep gnar buddy because their is no ride around”

Shredding with little kids is all about toning it down to their level and focus on the fun of the sport. Teaching them about the respect of nature and for others while on the trails, and helping them progress along the way at their own pace. Tap into their imaginations, don’t expect them to keep up to your adult level of shred just because you don’t have the patience to slow down to pass along knowledge. No smart parent would use an electric crutch to drag their kids up climbs for descents they aren’t ready for.

 What can you possibly say ? Madness

 Probably, but I doubt kids having fun on e-bikes is the reason.

 Kids having fun while getting them on the bike is not what your hope for the future? This makes me sad

 I'm not interested in this product so that's why I have to complain about it how bad it is to other people who maybe interested in it.
