Is E-Bike racing really racing?

[@darrylhausman-pk8cq]

That was actually very exciting . Even threw in a couple of Go Lance's . Excellent vid Lance , well done . Score 1 for the oldies

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Raced last weekend at Maraetai. Got beaten by the youngsters.

[@ddsgardening7437]

Great race mate was on the edge of my seat the hole race Cheers 🍻 🙏🙏

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I am glad. Just watched it with my wife. I thought this one was boring but I knew who won.😂

[@jonnyseller]

I stand corrected. I thought you caught him when the traffic started.
Good race though.

[@madmountainman5197]

Top effort Bud and a deserved win.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Cheers😊

[@sonic_attack]

The bloody 2 time.
Congrats gramps🎉

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I don't think people will let me win it next year.😊

[@MtbingNdjbing]

Yup that park is skiddy when wet. I like how you saved that xxx bridge creek. Ive heard a few crashes on those rocks alone and bridge. You kept ya place well.nice 1.🤙👌🏆😎

[@bestdayevermtb2]

It was slippery, but that made it more fun.😊

[@jasfirenz1]

Fantastic to watch! great job on the defend!

[@pippinrush1520]

Yes!

[@bwdown]

Great race craft Lance. Peaked at the right time. Stoked for ya 😎

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks heaps. Was surprised how tired I was when I got home.😂

[@quiltmekiwi]

Congratulations! You sounded knackered 😅 but you did it. Looks like a fun place to ride for a beginner like me.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Great place for a beginner. Even better when dry. I must admit I was exhausted. On the Ebike, you go flat out the whole race.

[@bluestraycat]

Tight race Lance, well done! I thought you were a goner when you missed that bridge!

[@lincolndearden122]

Edge of the seat stuff! Well done Lance pleased to see the young guy was puffing too 😉👍🏻

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I was dreading the sprint finish, but he didn't come with me when I went for it.

[@sleddogforce]

Well done Lance, great effort

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks heaps.

[@brettyallop6018]

Great racing Lance, great video!

[@fernandom6811]

Well done! 😊👌🏾 Great race & track!! Will have to see if there is any e bike Mtb racing in Brisbane, Australia! 😊

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I think my first E bike ride was in Nerang forest in the Gold Coast.

[@fernandom6811]

@ oh great! 😊

[@duncanh6045]

That was awesome, some much action with the overtaking, then being overtaken again, its like watching the F1. Well done Lance

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I shouldn't enjoy passing people struggling on a steamer but it does feel good. It is like you have super human powers.😂

[@jeffslade8621]

What a chase, well deserved win.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Was surprised to be honest but happy to take it.

[@SeppBrezel]

U made it. Nice one.

[@ddsgardening7437]

I'm puffing just watching 😂✌️

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I am still puffing😂

[@tonyatkins3370]

Great close racing Lance, see Old Boys can do it!!...

[@bestdayevermtb2]

There were some old boys racing, but mostly young guys like myself🤔

[@Aaronrandall1998]

Hey mate please start making merchandise lance!!!, also get your ass back to Nelson I wanna see my favourite trails judged by you

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I so want to come back to Nelson. Was disappointed I didn't get to ride all the trails I wanted to. I will be back, but not likely this summer.

[@Aaronrandall1998]

Love your content!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks heaps 😊

[@jonnyseller]

Next time you need a rear facing camera.
Also not sure you would have caught him had the steam bikes not been there.
Great video as always.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

That would be a good idea. Not sure you are correct about the steam bikes though. As seen in the video I caught him out in the open and he admitted he was tired. We then went into traffic and I just stayed behind him. At the end he just didn't have anything left.

[@johnnaki6483]

Schumacher v Hakkinen.. Excellent

[@bestdayevermtb2]

As long as I don't end up like Schumacher.🤔

[@Jody1314]

Well done, great watch. How much battery did you and the other guy have left?

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I think I had about 30% left and the guy I beat about 20%

[@Jody1314]

Great effort, from Scotland​@@bestdayevermtb2

[@doctorpc4x4]

Easier to put the [ressure on from the rear than the front. With age comes experience

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I tried to leave him behind when I caught him, but he wasn't having it. Decided to sit and wait and see what happened on the big hill.

[@jokermtb]

good morning from usa!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Good evening from NZ😊

[@dan_shelby0855]

You should do the next 2w 😉

[@MurriM10]

Well done.

[@chrismcbean3141]

As the saying goes, once you’re over the hill you pickup speed 😀well done

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Good to know 😂

[@MrSupermugen]

my arguement for Ebike racing is: Do you Flintstone your Full size race car or is there an engine?

[@drTeddyJo]

e-bikes vs steamer bikes : Lance edition lol. Are you entering the whaka

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I would not rule out doing the Whaka but wouldn't want to commit to something so far out.
