The Great eBike Debate! Power vs. Weight

We've spoken about eBike weight and power a lot on this channel, but have never come to a conclusion on whether it actually matters. So Steve has asked a few of his buddies what they think about the subject and why they've settled on the 'Mid' assist option when choosing their own bike. We hope that by casting the net of opinions a little bit wider, you'll be able to make an informed decision when buying your next eBike! ⏱ Timestamps ⏱ 00:00 - Welcome 00:23 - The Weight Debate 01:12 - Gareth Shepherd | Director / PEDALABIKEAWAY 10:29 - Jake Island | Race Engineer 15:45 - Dave | Former Downhill Racer Useful Links: Submit your Photo and Video to us 👉 https://upload.embn.com/ Check out the latest EMBN jerseys! 👉 https://embn.me/Jerseys What do you prefer, 'Light' assist, 'Mid' assist or 'Full' assist?
