Him being an MTB expert doesn't make him an ebike expert... Hard to understand it?
He misses a long time experience in e-bike systems; simply because he cannot afford e-bikes or has no sponsors to provide e-bikes to him. The Original Post is the proof.
Ah, I see now! These Specialized Pathfinder Pros are pretty popular on bikes like mine, but that narrow center slick has traction issues in emergency stops on smooth pavement and on steep offroad descents. But being a brittle old guy with spinal hardware, I'm kind of a chicken on the latter.
