i have a rusty 5 year old chain and a very small sprocket with missing teeth on a light bmx which has seen me through thick and thin, never failed once. Cant catch fire. I do not need anything more than that.

i go 40km/h on mine, literally 100 downhill and it never relies on a battery.
Those kids and their $2000 100-200kg ebikes with Chinese li-po battery cells are retarded, if their batteries run out and they can’t recharge it theyre fucked stranded and have to push their heavy shitbike all the way home. It’s a fad and theyre not reliable, much harder to service. Doesnt happen with a 20-50kg thing you can service anywhere, never runs out of battery and your speed is directly proportional to how hard you pedal. The issues happen when kids can pull a throttle and go significantly faster than how fast they’d normally be able to pedal lmao. Then they wipe themselves out going a speed their body isnt capable of tolerating.
I can fix my shit anywhere and go however far i want and never have to recharge shit or whatever the fuck and i only go as fast as i can handle which is still quite fast but im not going to be overdoing it and killing myself hitting a pole you feel me.
Fuck ebikes honestly
