Can confirm. There's a a lot of guys in their 20 & 30s on ebikes here. Biggest thing is its hard to shuttle up the franklins so there's a lot of climbing to get to the good stuff. El Paso would SUCK without an ebike for a lot of us. Hard part is a majority of our group are on ebikes now so that becomes an issue for people on regular bikes. Lots of tow straps being used😁   https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1AgdAjexyB/

2025 Event is on the Calendar: September 7, 2025 at Flat Rock Ranch, Comfort, TX. Registration at BikeReg https://hillcountrybicycleworks.com/local-events/ The event is super low key but well run by Hill Country Bicycle Works in Kerrville/Fredicksburg. This will (hopefully) be the 3rd time I've done the event, it's been a blast both years so far. 

Crossed over to the dark side myself. Moved to the El Paso/New Mexico area in August. For many of the trails here an e-bike is almost a necessity even the more fit riders here are riding e-bikes. Lots of loose rock and steep climbs with lots of elevation in short distances. At 63 trying to do some of these trails was not enjoyable the e-bike makes it much easier to get more miles in and enjoy it. Bought a Polygon T7E nice bike with a good spec at the price I got it for the only thing I changed was the suspension the Suntour fork was abysmal I probably could have torn it down to see what may be the issue but decided to replace along with a rear shock to match.   

I'm a decade behind you and have changed my mind about e-bikes over the past few years. I'm not opposed to owning an e-mountain bike when my body can no longer perform like I want it to, be it continue to climb well or hold up on longer rides.  On my nex trip to Bentonville with a group of friends, I want to rent one probably on the last day we're riding.

Hard to hate when it does you good. Ill be there before I like. What is a super light weight wise?
