Good video. You didn't seem to have as much confidence on the ebike. Do you think it was the difference between an enduro bike and DH bike (suspension)? Or an ebike being heavier? Or......?
@@quantumkookaburra cheers! It was partly that my e-bike lap was only my second time down these tracks and the DH lap was my third time down. So had 100% more experience. But also that the terrain is rougher than it looks in the video and I nearly crashed several times on the 150mm e-bike!!
@michaelmazzaglia9569 no, had the e-bike in turbo mode. There was a difference in how hard I pedalled at the start as I wanted to get the DH bike up to speed, and ended up riding it faster on that first flat section. From there on, I was faster on the e-bike on the flatter and smoother stuff, but that was more than offset by how much faster the DH bike was on rougher terrain. Also worth noting that my e-bike lap was only my second time down these tracks. And the DH lap was my third time down - so I had 100% more experience for that one
Great Riding!
Thanks!

Did you hit the e-bike cut off?… so of course the downhill is faster

Fair call
