here’s every type of bicycle YouTuber that talks about e-bikes:
- some guy who’s been riding mountain or road bikes for decades and hates e-bikes but covers them as lazily as possible with very little understanding because it gets views
- some guy building The E-Bike THEY Don’t Want You To Have because it’s an illegal motorcycle that goes 50 mph and has no torque at all because its drivetrain is ornamental
- AI reading the manual for your e-bike to you
- a libertarian cryptobro tells you how to delimit your mid-motor and neglects to mention that your motor will brick itself after a couple of rides and the bike shop will laugh at you

believe it or not here’s what the people want: - an e-bike commuter or laborer tells you how to do daily tasks on a bicycle in ways that probably aren’t obvious to most people, like loading cargo onto the bike so it won’t fall off - a grizzled bicycle mechanic shows how to repair and modify your motor in ways that won’t get you tackled off your bike by a cop, like how to rebuild a Bosch motor with new spare parts from online
